As the FIA African Rally Championship (ARC) season concludes with the ASAS Rally of Tanzania, Kenyan driver Karan Patel and Ugandan Jas Mangat are set for a fierce battle for the coveted title.
Patel, with a 9-point lead on the ARC standings, aims for redemption after narrowly missing the championship last season.
Despite facing challenges, including a viral video of his car rolling during a practice session in Zambia, Patel’s impressive comeback secured a win in the Zambian leg. The season finale in Iringa, Tanzania, promises an exciting showdown as Patel and Mangat vie for the ARC crown.
Ugandan Yasin Nasser remains a contender, hoping for a turnaround after a setback in Zambia. Meanwhile, Kenyan driver Hamza Anwar seeks to defend the FIA ARC Junior title against local contender Prince Charles Nyerere.
The Rally of Tanzania, dominated historically by Kenyan, Zambian, and Zimbabwean drivers, will unfold over two days, offering a thrilling conclusion to the ARC season.
