The two-day event will kick off with a Super Special Stage Sprint at Busika Motor Sports Arena on Friday 2nd August. After, they will head to Kayunga to face off in the remaining 4 stages.
It will be his first Pearl of Africa rally competition but after taking on former champions Posiano Rwakataka and Ronald Ssebuguzi in the Kayunga Autocross and emerging victorious, he’s already considered one of the favourites.
Rajiv Ruparelia started out on the Ugandan rally scene in April 2014 as a hard to ignore underdog and for good reason.
The rally ace then gained the dark horse reputation as he took out more scalps until he became the guy to beat. The real question now is how far can he go seeing that he has now become a big fish in this pond called Uganda?
