Get ready for a star-studded lineup of racing titans! Last year’s champion, Yassin Nasser, is back in action, unleashing his state-of-the-art Ford Fiesta R5 with navigator Joseph Kamya calling the shots. Jas Mangat, armed with his fire-breathing Hyundai I20 R5, is ready to scorch the tracks alongside navigator Enoch Olinga. Ronald Sebuguzi, paired with navigator Anthony Mugambwa in the Ford Fiesta Proto, is a force to be reckoned with.
But that’s not all! Duncan Mubiru, navigating his Subaru Impreza GVB, is ready for the challenge, while Mike Mukula Junior makes a thrilling return in a Subaru Impreza N14, reuniting forces with Edward Kiyingi.
The competition is fierce, with more big names like Peter Kalule, Jonas Kansime, Fred Busulwa, and many others battling it out for supremacy.
