Perodua Kelisa Makes Good Progress On World Cup Rally
Published: 10th October 2002
The Kelisa has already negotiated a 10 mile hill climb through ice and snow without slipping and Karen reports feeling very safe despite the high altitude and treacherous conditions. She also remarks how easy and economical the car is to drive over long distances, comfortably managing to cruise at 80 mph on motorway sections.
The third leg of the Rally took the competitors along a particularly rough mountainside logging track where the Kelisa proved its worth by maintaining a steady 30-35 miles an hour for 31 kilometres. Many other vehicles suffered heavy damage on this stage but the Kelisa only suffered slight buckling on one of the front wheels which was easily repaired.
The Rally will continue through Montenegro in Yugoslavia and move on
to Tirana, the capital of Albania. Karen is enthusiastically looking forward
to the new challenges which this leg of the journey may bring.
