A total of 28 drivers will compete in Rwanda, with 21 racing in the Rwanda National Championship and the rest in the ARC category. Patel leads the ARC standings with 105 points and is expected to extend his lead, with Mangat (28 points) and Anwar (24 points) absent from this leg.
Ugandan drivers Michael Jr. Mukula (19 points), Kuku Ranjit Singh (18 points), and Mukasa Moustapha (17 points) are also in the mix.
Kenyan drivers Karan Patel and Tauseef Khan may have already secured the 2024 African Rally Championship (ARC) title, but they are keen to maintain their perfect winning streak as they compete in the Mount Gorilla Rally in Rwanda.
This penultimate leg of the ARC, starting Friday around Kigali and Bugesera, sets the stage for the season finale at the Equator Rally in Kenya from November 29 to December 1.
