Saldanha and Murthy Triumph at RAAT Rally of Thailand
Imagine a race where cars speed around a track, but this time, the track is in Thailand, and it's raining!
Jason Saldanha and his co-driver, P.V.S. Murthy, drove their special car really well and won their class.
They raced against faster cars but used smart moves to come in second place overall.
It was super tricky because the roads were slippery, and one mistake could have been bad.
Jason had a great co-driver who helped with directions.
Jason is now the leader in the championship with many points!
This shows how good he is at racing.
The next race will be in July.
