Gaurav Gill (Team MRF) won 2016 FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship (APRC) title.
It was Gill’s second APRC crown following his success in 2013.
Having won the previous four rounds of the APRC this season, the Delhi-based Gill went into the Malaysian Rally with a 42-point advantage over team-mate Fabian Kreim who pulled out due to gearbox problems which effectively ended the championship battle between the two.
The 34-year old Gill, driving the MRF Skoda Fabia R5, took no chances and comfortably won the event sparing 31 minutes, 35.7 seconds to compatriot Sanjay Takale (Cusco Racing).
Kreim finished third after Michael Young, who was placed second.
