On his part, his navigator Absalom Aswani, is also bubbling with confidence ahead of the event and revealed that they will be keen to impress the crowds.
He revealed that they have started preparations early and that should pay off well. However, the duo has not competed in any of the local events.
“We have never been this much prepared…both mentally and physically. We are looking forward to this event despite not having much luck in participating in local events.
However, we have done a lot of preparations and several tests, we are ready. We had to open the whole car and redo it afresh. We hope and believe that everything is going to be smooth,” he said.
