Even before their feet could reach the pedals, brothers Satren and Kevan de Silva were taught the basics of handling a 4WD vehicle by their father, learning about winching and technical driving along the way.

Their father, mechanic Rate de Silva, runs a Land Rover workshop in Kampung Subang, Selangor, which prepares vehicles for jungle expeditions, competitions and daily use.
