The stage is set for the showdown between Carl “Flash” Tundo and Baldev Chager as the fourth edition of the RX Rallycross scheduled for this weekend at People’s Park in Machakos gathers pace.
Tundo is a multiple-time Kenyan rally champion, while Charger is a veteran rally driver, multiple KNRC champion and three-time East Africa Safari Classic winner.
Fans are excited as they await an intense battle between the two champions, who will be competing for the top spot on the podium.
This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever before, with new class competitors joining the fray and the renewal of an old rivalry.
Tundo and Chager are not the only ones to watch out for. This year’s event will see a host of new class competitors taking part, including several female drivers such as Natasha Tundo, an acclaimed motorsport driver, who will be taking part in her first rallycross event.
“We’re thrilled to have such a diverse range of drivers competing this year,” said Tundo, an organizer and participant.
“In its fourth edition, It’s fantastic to see events like RX advertising the rallycross sport, a testament to its growth and ability to attract new talent in a short period of time. As RX motorsport, we are excited for the future and we can’t wait to see what these new drivers will do on the track next week,” he added.
The event sponsored by Kenya Breweries will see the company renew its long-term association with motorsport that has seen them involved in events including Rhino Charge and Kenya National Rally Championship in the past year.
“We’re proud to be part of such an exciting RX Rally event as we continue to champion the important message around responsible drinking,” said Kenya Breweries’ Prudence Mukami.
“We believe that RX and motorsport, in general, have the required influence to bring people together and showcase the best of what Kenyan sport has to offer, and we’re delighted to be a part of that,” she added.
The RX Rallycross event is just one of many newer motorsport engagements that are tapping into the growing and newer crop of drivers and fans in Kenya, boding well for the future of the sport.
