KCB Bank Kenya on Thursday unveiled a chopper for the World Rally Championship Safari Rally set for June 24-27 in Naivasha.
The chopper will be used to give lucky fans a ride during the two-day event in Naivasha and Nakuru spectator stages.
Over 36 lucky fans will get a chance to take the helicopter ride over the Longonot, Soysambu Farm, and Hells gate enabling them to enjoy watching the rally route and cars from the sky.
Speaking during the unveiling ceremony at WRC Safari Rally Centre in Kasarani, KCB Group Acting Marketing, Communication, and Citizenship Director Wanyi Mwaura said the bank is offering rally fans the opportunity to have a joy ride over the track.
“We are looking at giving rally fans a very different viewing experience,” Ms. Mwaura said. “Our fans have stuck with us over the past 19 years when WRC was absent, we want to return the favour by allowing them to experience the thrill of watching the race from the sky.”
As the Official Financial Partner in the championship, KCB Bank Kenya committed KShs.100 million in sponsorship towards the 2021 World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally Kenya. The deal cements the Bank’s footprint in supporting sports which cuts across various disciplines—motorsports, golf, athletics, chess, rugby, volleyball, and football.“Our sponsorship has sustained motorsports in Kenya over the years, we want to give our pumped-up fans a lively experience,” said Ms. Mwaura. “You can see the race track a lot better and it’s good looking down on it all, rather than looking straight at it.
