Ugandan rally driver Oscar Ntambi arrived the country last weekend to fine-tune his car at Stoni Athi in \u00a0preparation for the upcoming WRC Safari Rally Kenya slated for March 12\u201315 in Naivasha.<\/p>\n
Ntambi, now steering a Mitsubishi Evo X Ralliart, engaged in a rigorous testing session with Kenyan driver Nikhil Sachania, concentrating on refining the suspension, boosting the car\u2019s resilience, and enhancing speed in preparation for what is widely considered the most challenging event on the World Rally Championship schedule.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a special rally for every driver in Africa and beyond. Flying in to test at Stoni Athi was important because Safari is unique; you must prepare for everything.
\nThe car felt good, and we have made adjustments that give us confidence heading into Naivasha,\u201d said an elated Ntambi.<\/p>\n
Ntambi will be navigated by his long-time teammate Muhamadi Uthumaan, a partnership that dates to 2018. <\/p>\n
Ntambi is part of a formidable five-driver KCB Racing Team lineup that also includes two-time African champion Karan Patel, rising talent Tinashe Gatimu, Nikhil Sachania, and Rwanda\u2019s accomplished driver Queen Kalimpinya.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the test, navigator Muhamadi Uthumaan said: \u201cIt is a dream come true to line up for the Safari Rally. I have followed this event for years, and to finally compete in it is special.<\/p>\n
Oscar and I understand each other well, and our focus is to stay consistent, manage the car carefully, and finish strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Safari Rally will be the third leg of the WRC circuit and has attracted over 40 crews from around the world and will feature 20 competitive stages covering more than 350 kilometers .<\/p>\n
