The KCB Nanyuki Rally is set for Greystones Ranch headquarters. The spectacle will start at 9am on Saturday and have three competitive stages that will be done twice.
Spectators will not be allowed at the stages in line with the Ministry of Health protocols to curb the spread of coronavirus. Greystone Ranch will also host the Power Stage. Power Stage (PS) is a special stage that usually runs as the final stage of a rally in the Kenya National Rally Championship. The total distance of the rally will be 216 kilometres, of which the competitive section will be 156kms and the liaison will be 60kms. The longest stage at Ole Naishu will be 41.51kms, while the shortest at Greystones will be 7.86kms.
After last weekend's Zambia Rally, Kenya's Carl "Flash" Tundo and his navigator Tim Jessop have now scored a maximum of 90 points from the last three rounds of the current African Rally Championship Series. The championship still remains wide open with 60 points to score from the remaining two rounds, while the difference between the first driver (Tundo) and the second, South African Guy Botteril , is only 17 points. There were two other Kenyans who were involved in the organisation of the Zambia ARC event. George Mwangi was the chairman of stewards while Musa Locho was the senior FIA technical official.
Tundo's aim is to win the ARC title for the first time in his rallying career. He has already won the Safari Rally fives, the East African Safari Classic Rally once and clinched the Kenya National Rally Championship title five times.
Manvir Baryan was the last Kenyan driver to win the ARC title thrice. He bagged his last continental trophy in 2019 before the ARC series was put on hold due to the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic. The ARC is an International Rally Championship run under the umbrella of the Federation of International Automobile (FIA).
