With virtually all titles already taken, Sunday's 10th and last round of the Kenya National Autocross Championship will no doubt be a scintillating experience in the mud.

Siblings Eann and Allan Bengi are among the star attractions in the race, organised by the Kenya Rally Team (KRT).

The event will take place at the WRC SSS Race track at Moi International Sports Complex, Kasarani where entrants will run four heats with the best three counting towards the final classification.

Rising star Neel Gohil already has the Two Wheel Drive Non Turbo-buggy and Two Wheel Drive Non Turbo car titles in the bag and his presence in Sunday's race presents an opportunity for the Nairobi-based prodigy more seat time on his race machines.

Neel has driven a Toyota Vitz and a Two Wheel Drive buggy this season in his unprecedented double championship campaign.

He became the first teenage driver to win two Autocross senior titles in one season.

Like Neel, Azaad Manji also sealed the Two Wheel Drive Turbo championship at the penultimate stage and will definitely return to showcase his traditional hair-raising thrills.

Also in the mix are the daughter and mother team of Tinashe and Caroline Gatimu, listed in the Open Class class against newly-crowned champion John Kasivane, star driver Rajveer Thethy and Ismael Azeli.

Four Wheel Drive Turbo Class has champion Eric Bengi returning in his Evolution X marque.

The Pee Wee Class has already been taken by Allan Bengi, who will be back to maximize his championship points.

But Allan's brother, Eaan, will fight for the Bambino title at the home stretch against leader Gitau Munene where whoever finishes top takes home the title.
