The story
The Team DRC Gypsy: A pure, purpose-built desert weapon.
Forged from over a decade of rally experience since 2015, this machine strips away the gimmicks to deliver pure high-energy performance on the sand.
• The Heart: Custom-tuned 1.3L petrol engine, built in-house for high-RPM dune skimming.
• The Reflex: Custom headers engineered to kill initial throttle lag for instant power.
• The Legs: In-house self-made leaf spring setup, perfected to absorb brutal high-speed landings.
• The Shield: Stock air filter setup—the ultimate defense to keep engine-killing silica dust out.
Lightweight, tactical, and built by Team DRC to win.

I am Jaideep Singh, veteran rally driver and the reigning Dune Cross 6.0 Gypsy Champion. Over a decade of podium finishes has taught me one thing: in the dunes, hesitation is defeat.
To win, you need a machine that shares your heartbeat. That’s why Team DRC Hanumangarh built my custom Maruti Gypsy. We stripped it, lightened it, and packed it with pure, high-RPM fury. It doesn’t just drive over the sand; it flies.
Small footprint. Unlimited energy. Built by the best, driven to win.
