The UCAL annual car rally, where drivers are given authorised blind navigators who read maps in Braille, was held recently. Visually impaired navigators are certified by the National Association for the Blind.

The 50.03 kilometre rally is based on the time, speed and distance format. The rally takes about 124 minutes. There were four categories — expert, for teams that have won earlier; regular, for teams that have participated earlier; novices; and all ladies.

The expert category was won by Premila Jacob and Vardarajan, regular by P.K. Mohana and Ramamoorthy, novice by Harsha Koda and Sundaramoorthy and all ladies by Kamala Ramraj and Sunitha.

Hiromi Iida, joint managing director, UCAL Fuel Systems Ltd gave away the prizes.
