SINGAPORE: The heavy rainfall on Monday proved too much for some contestants of the MediaCorp Subaru Impreza WRX Challenge.
As it started to pour, contestants - drenched and discouraged - began to drop out at a faster rate.
However, the heavy rainfall did not dampen everyone's spirits, as 39 contestants remain.
All contenders from Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong have dropped out of the competition.
Only a few from South-East Asia - four contestants from Thailand and one from the Philippines - are still in the competition.
34 of the original 321 local contestants still have their palms placed firmly on the cars.
The challenge is into its eighth year and the longest-standing contestant wins a Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX worth S$81,000.
