Ravi Shastri's iconic Audi 100 seen at Vintage & Classic Car Rally in Jaipur

Winning the 1985 Benson & Hedges World Championship of Cricket was one of the golden moments of Indian Cricket. Even more so for one Ravi Shastri, whose resounding performance earned him the Champion of Champions title and a life long association with the word ‘Audi’ in the hearts of millions of cricket fans all over India.

The iconic Audi 100 that Ravi Shastri won for his efforts was recently in the pink city adding further charm to an already special gathering of Vintage & Classic cars. Organized by the Rajasthan Tourism & Rajputana Automotive Sports Car Club along with Audi, the 15th Vintage & Classic Car Rally in Jaipur saw assembly of an entire fleet of pre and post-war cars in all of their regal beauty on the first day of the rally.

On the second day of the rally, the cars were flagged off from Hotel Jai Mahal Palace Lawns. The historical cars drove through the heritage sites in Jaipur leaving behind a trail of nostalgia. Many of these vintage beauties have been featured in movies like Gandhi, Queenie, Zubeida, Bhool Bhulaiya and Veer. 

Speaking on the occasion, Michael Perschke, Head, Audi India said, “I am delighted to continue our partnership with the Rajputana Automotive Sports Car Club in Jaipur. Rajasthan, the land of Maharajas has been setting the standards for luxury in India for centuries. It is a matter of great joy to see cars after cars that have chalked down automobile history, and each car has a brilliant and glorious story to tell of its own. We at Audi love to celebrate the history and what better than the iconic Audi 100 of cricket legend Ravi Shastri to be displayed here. This is a car we had restored with Audi Jaipur over the last year.” 

For the spectators to get a sense of Audi’s pioneering automotive advancements from then to now, a lot of new Audi cars were also displayed.
