What you need to know:

  • Notably, rally organisers used to receive over 70 cars in the KNRC events a few years back before the big decline
  • The Eldoret Rally 2024 will kick off Saturday morning with a total of six Competitive States during the course of the competition
  • The total distance will be 298.41kms of which Competitive distance will be 139.92kms while the Liaison distance will be 298.41kms

Only nine cars have entered the opening round of the 2024 Kenya National Rally Championship to be staged in Eldoret on Saturday. 

The number of cars for the KNRC events has declined drastically for the past few years. It is a worrying factor for the managers of the sport in Kenya.
