NDULELE SHAKEDOWN TO OFFER FIRST LOOK OF HYBRID-POWERED CARS ON AFRICA SOIL

Ndulele Conservancy off the Moi North Lake road will for the second year running serve as WRC Safari Rally Kenya venue for Shakedown on Wednesday June 22 from 10:01hrs onwards. 

The challenging 5.4kms of Kenyan rally tracks will see the first action of a WRC Rally1 hybrid-powered car at competitive pace on African soil. 

The groundbreaking new-generation Rally1 cars from three manufacturers (Ford M-Sport, Toyota Gazoo Racing and Hyundai WRT) competed for the first time in the season-opening WRC Rallye Monte-Carlo on January 20-23.

–What is Shakedown?–
Shakedowns offer opportunities for crews to test their competition cars on terrain similar to the rally before the event starts. Competitors must drive through the shakedown stage at least three times, with all passes being timed.Stages  

The event sponsored by KCB Bank Kenya to a tune of Ksh 100 million, Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and Toyota Kenya will provide a great spectator experience, according to WRC Safari Rally CEO Phineas Kimathi who reveals that this year’s edition will once again retain it’s fabled reputation as the “World’s Toughest Rally”.

“It will be the first time ever that the P1 cars will have been driven on any other surface other than Europe. We are proud of being the first country in Africa to host the Rally 1 hybrid -powered cars where crews will savour their first feel of the spectacular challenge ahead,” Kimathi explained.

Kimathi, who is also the KMSF Chairman, revealed that the Shakedown will precede reconnaissance of the Kasarani Spectator Stage (SS1) where Priority 1 drivers will use their WRC Rally1 cars from 07.30hrs on Thursday June 23. 

Thereafter, crews will proceed to Kenyatta International Convention Centre at11:00hrs for a press conference to be followed by the Ceremonial Start at 12:46hrs. 

From 14:08hours on Thursday June 23, the first 2 cars will tackle the Super Special Stage (SSS) at Kasarani.

Kimathi quipped: “It’s only on Safari where two cars race against each other at the same time in a WRC set-up.”

The Safari will take place in the Great Rift Valley, around Lake Naivasha and Elmenteita with the Service Park returning to the Kenya Wildlife Services Institute in Naivasha on the main Nairobi to Nakuru Road.

 Administrative checks will begin on Sunday 19 June in Naivasha and reconnaissance will start on Monday 20 June from 0700hrs. Reconnaissance will continue on Tuesday 21 June through to Wednesday 22 June.

 Shakedown for Priority 1 and other invited drivers will take place from 10:01-11:30hours followed by FIA P2, P3 and P4 drivers from 11:31 to12:30hours. Non-priority drivers will start at 12:31 to 14:00hours.

 Action proper begins on Friday June 24 with SS2/5 Loldia 1 & 2, a 19.17kms stage that will be run at 08:00hrs and 1314hrs through to Hells Gate “Wolf Power Stage” on Sunday June 26.
