<p>It was one event that all motor sports and car enthusiasts wouldn’t have missed for the world. <br /><br />The Auto Mall — 2009, which was held in the City for the first time, showcased some of the rarest and the most stylish cars and bikes of various brands. <br /><br />Inaugurating the event was actress Pooja Gandhi and ace ralliest Karna Kadur. <br />Not much of a car enthusiast, Pooja hoped that through such exhibitions, she would be exposed to a variety of cars. <br /><br />“I am not much into cars and bikes, but I do have my eyes on an Endeavour, that I wish to purchase for myself,” said Pooja, who enjoys long drives from time to time. <br />Despite being a car racer, Karna sure did make it a point to promote safe driving. “There is a lot of glamour in driving fast but one must also be aware on how to drive safely to avoid undue accidents,” he said. <br /><br />Making a career as a rally driver, he says, is not as easy as it looks. “Apart from it being an expensive sport, it is also a long process and one really has to master the art of driving on the race tracks first and only then get into it professionally,” he added. <br />As for the exhibition he said, “It looks promising but hopefully in the coming years, more brands will take part.” <br /> </p>
