Morung Express News Dimapur | October 22 Meme Sekhose and Kezha Semou (Competition no 102) continued their impressive form on Saturday as they emerged winners of the 3rd Offroad Maestro 2016 held at Shalom Resort, Gaili, under Peren District. Following two days and four stages of intense competition, the Offroad Maestro 2016 on the final day went live at 7:30 am and witnessed Stages 6 and 7 where the competitors had to build log bridges and drive through tough river stages. Leading from the Night Stage of Day 1 and continuing to lead at the end of Day 2, Sekhose and Semou were never really threatened as they steadily navigated their way through the tough river stages. Their closest competitors from Day 2 – Shan Ker Suer and Banshan Lang Kharumnuid (second on Day 1 and 2) and Lima Jamir and Kevin Puro (third on Day 2) – failed to finish as the cars of both teams broke down unable to bear the stress of the tough terrains. The misfortune of the two teams opened up an opportunity for others to vie for the remaining top 3 positions. In the end, Imkongyanger Lusang and Sahimongba Ao (Competition no 103) and Aviu Rutsa & Atoulie Vizo (Competition no 104) edged other competitors to finish 1st and 2nd runners-up respectively. The event culminated after completion of the stages following which a prize distribution ceremony ensued. Sekhose and Semou were awarded with cash prize of Rs. 50000, while the 1st and 2nd runners-up received Rs. 30000 and Rs. 20000 respectively along with trophies and certificates. The three-day Offroad Maestro witnessed the first ever night stage in Nagaland late on Thursday night and showcased impressive driving skills while also testing the endurance of the competitors as they navigated through rocks, steep slopes and slippery inclines besides the tough river stage. The Maestro was competed on all-natural terrains in the picturesque Shalom Resort. The event was organised by Association of Offroaders Nagaland (AON) with hospitality partners Shalom Resort, Gaili, Hepuluzam and Beverage partners Aiko.
