Naturally, victory in a new car and
taking the national rally championship lead is an exciting feat for any
competitor but rally driver Jas Mangat has refused to revel in such glory. He
is leading both Africa and Uganda National
championships, after he won Martyrs’ Day rally, and gained the 18 points he
needed in his newly-acquired Mitsubishi Evo 10 (switching from a Subaru N12)
The Pearl of Africa Rally is crucial
to his quest for a double. “I have big names to beat like
Ronald (Ssebuguzi) but I’m not worried of anything,” said the champion. The Africa Rally Championship (ARC) event, which also
counts towards the NRC, will be held August 16-17 hosting African
championship contenders including Essa Mohamed (7th in Safari
Rally). It recently got a boost from Silver
Springs Hotel signing an UGShS75m sponsorship package.
The Rwanda Mountain Gorilla Rally is scheduled for September
with more companies called apon to come on board and support the event in the
magical land of a thousand hills. The Africa championship will wind up with the
Rally of Madagascar in November.
