MOTORSPORTS 2023 WRC Safari Rally receives massive financial boon as preparations intensify
KCB has spent over Kshs 1.5 billion in the past 20 years to support the Safari Rally.
Namwamba wants this year’s rally to be a historical one and he believes the Local Organising Committee is capable of pulling off a great event.
“As international as it is, I have always insisted and I will repeat that this event must have a unique, incredible, and special Kenyan flavour," Namwamba said on Friday.
"It must not be an event where we fly in elite cars and elite international drivers and they zoom around for three days and then fly out and we call it a day.
"This event must be an international event with a strong indelible and unequivocal Kenyan flavour,” Namwamba added, during the official unveiling of KCB's sponsorship for the 2023 Safari Rally Kenya project.
He added that the ‘Kenyan flavour’ will also be felt with the presence of Kenyan drivers, including national champion Karan Patel, Evans Kavisi and Nikhil Sachania.
Namwamba also called upon the masses to show up for the rally and support local talent since entry is free.
