Hutomo sprints to win Lido rally

Tue, 11 Apr 1995

JAKARTA (JP): Hutomo Mandala Putra sped to the national sprint rally championship title at the Lido Lake resort, Sukabumi, West Java, on Sunday.

Partnering with Ricardo Gelael in a Subaru Impreza, Hutomo completed the grueling 18-kilometer track in the fastest time of 11 minutes and 12 seconds, just two seconds ahead of second finishers Tony Hardianto and Anthony Sarwono.

"It's a delight for me, to win on the challenging track here," an elated Hutomo, President Soeharto's youngest son, said. More than 40 drivers entered the race, which also served as the warm- up for the national rally championship series, slated to kick off early May in Pekanbaru, Riau. (amd)
