MOTORSPORTS Drivers call for change in WRC format after Rovanpera's part-time decision
Kalle Rovanperä's decision to step back from full-time competition in the 2024 WRC season raises concerns and prompts discussions about the championship's future format.
Uganda took the lead in the first round, and delivered a remarkable performance on their home ground, securing a substantial lead with a total of 1,643 points, leaving Kenya in second place with 408 points.
The upcoming second round becomes crucial for Kenya to close the gap, especially considering the challenges faced during the initial round, where they could not field as many riders in Busika due to inadequate financial support.
In contrast, Uganda boasts a robust representation, thanks to the full backing that FMU receives from their government.
