The three-day race started on Friday.
The 60-year-old, known as the ‘Flying Sikh’, created a sensation by using a 16-year-old national car, Proton Gen2, to bag 12 trophies in the three championships he participated in with teammate and co-driver Jagdev Singh.
The 2001 Asia Pacific Rally Championship (APRC) champion managed to dominate APRC 2022 in the fifth round of the M3 Sprint Rally event on Friday, before winning the Indonesian Rally Championship in the third and fourth rounds of the National Rally event on Saturday and Sunday.
Commenting on his achievement, Karamjit said that even though he was using an “old machine”, it was not an obstacle for him to continue to make the country proud by beating a more sophisticated car worth RM1.5 million.
“I really have a passion for this, even though I don’t have a sponsor, I use my own money and an old machine, but I can still beat the more modern cars.
“Motorsports is expensive, but with the efforts and help from other competitors from Indonesia, I was able to achieve this success, and I want to chase many more successes,” he told reporters at KLIA today.
At the same time, Karamjit said he also aimed to participate in the APRC next year by using the R5 Proton Iriz.
He had previously participated in the Indonesian Rally Championship and the fourth round of the APRC 2022 in Lake Toba, Indonesia, but did not succeed in winning any categories due to the damage to his car.
