There was a shakedown on Wednesday at Loldia as Kenyan drivers embarked on the rally which will culminate with the Wolf Power Stage at Hell’s Gate on Sunday.

Karan was the leading Kenyan on shakedown as he returned 14th fastest while Tundo and Samman came 17th and 18th respectively.

WRC-2 has attracted Europe’s leading professional drivers among them Brit Gus Greensmith and Kajetan Kajetanowicz who will both kickstart the Kenyan round behind the wheel of Skoda Fabia RS Rally2s. 

Greensmith outpaced his Toksport team-mate Oliver Solberg by 1.2sec.
