The 7 member team of Manabhum Off Roaders Club of Arunachal (MOCA) on Monday were felicitated by Chief Minister Pema Khandu for winning the Team Award in the recently concluded Indian chapter of the 6th Rainforest Challenge of Malaysia (RFC), held in Goa from 3 to 10 August.
The members highlighted about the various issues and problems confronting team MOCA and to devise roadmap on making offroading event a popular sport in the state.
MOCA is primarily a group of cousins and friends who have a passion for the offroad lifestyle and for them it was never the competitive type, it was more about camping and doing trails, roughing it out for 10 or 15 days in the jungle.
The team got first introduced to serious offroading at the JK TYRE Orange 4×4 FURY in the Orange Festival, Dambuk and there has been no looking back from then on. They participated in the Extreme 4play, kikar lodge and AHOR, Meghalaya.
Felicitated today the 7 member team of Manabhum Off-roaders Club of Arunachal (MOCA) for winning the recently concluded Indian chapter of the 6th Rainforest Challenge (RFC), held in Goa from 3 to 10 August. My best wishes and congratulations to the team. #RFCIndia pic.twitter.com/WibIdgjsuB
