Kenya’s top finishers from the previous year, Carl Tundo and co-driver Tim Jessop, who finished seventh among the WRC 2 competitors, are among the many representatives from Kenya hoping to make an impression this year.

Tundo finished more than half an hour ahead of his countrymen Karan Patel and Aakif Virani, but unless there are any technical difficulties, both should present a formidable challenge.

Samman Singh Vohra, Hamza Anwar, and Jeremiah Wahome are three more intriguing Kenyan contenders in this year’s WRC 2. While seven Kenyans and one Ugandan compete in the National class, Nikhil Sachania, Jasmeet Chana, and Rio Smith will represent Kenya in WRC 3.
