Rajiv drops out

Rajiv,  together with Enock Olinga in their Volkswagen Polo Proto had  taken over matters on day one after posting  13 seconds ahead after posting 13 minutes, 17 seconds and 74 microseconds in the number one position but on Sunday, things didn’t go on well with them as their vehicle broke down to ensure an unwanted abrupt finish for the team.
