The Equator Rally has been struck off the Africa Rally Championship (ARC) series, dealing a blow to  the Kenya National Rally Championship event that has in the past been hit with low entries. 

The changes announced on Thursday night during 2024 FIA World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) Annual General Assembly in Kigali, Rwanda, will also see the World Rally Championship Safari Rally double up as one of the competitions in the African Rally Championship series. The WMSC Annual General Assembly will conclude tonight with the awards ceremony.
