T he women that gathered at Bandra-Kurla Complex on Saturday morning achieved what they'd set out to achieve. With 380 women hitting the road for a long drive to Pune and back, a new record was set. The Limca Book of Records, that was monitoring the event, entered the rally in its echelons of superlatives as the Biggest Intercity All Women's Car Rally in India. The event was organised by Red FM and Garnier Fructis, in aid of Breast Cancer awareness.

Chunkey Pandey came to flag off the cars in the morning and engaged in teasing banter with the female drivers. Ashmit Patel, Narendra Jha of Ravan fame and Deveika Bhojwani, vice president of the Women's Cancer Initiative, Tata Memorial Hospital, were also there. RJ Mallishka was MC for the event.

Participants included Shveta Salve, Sathya Saran, Nisha Harale, Malvika Sanghvi and cancer survivor Dr Ritu Jospeh.

Out of the 181 cars that left Mumbai in the morning, almost 116 successfully completed the race, while 179 covered the entire distance and returned to Mumbai in the evening.

The final winners were handed over their prizes on Sunday evening at a party held at the Bandra club Poison.

Abraham Thomas, COO, RED FM said, "We are very happy with the response we have received for the RED FM Drive 93.5 that aims to celebrate the spirit and attitude of today's women. We have also received a courageous response from the celebrity circle of Mumbai that has come forward to support this novel cause of spreading breast cancer awareness in the country."
