Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Five-time Safari champion Carl ‘Flash’ Tundo emerged the winner of Sarago Zambia International Motor Rally to extend his lead in the 2021 FIA Africa Rally Championship (ARC).<\/p>\n

Navigated by Tim Jessop in a Minti Motorsport VW Polo R5, Tundo beat South African Guy Boterril and Ugandan Yassin Nasser to second and third respectively.<\/p>\n

Zambia\u2019s feat went down as Tundo\u2019s third successive win of the season after the ARC Equator Rally in Kenya and the Rally of Tanzania.<\/p>\n

The Zambian round saw the home fans endure the heartbreak of watching home hero Leroy Gomes (Ford Fiesta R5), Mohammed Esssa and Muna Singh Jnr fall by the wayside.<\/p>\n

Gomes was well on course for greater things when he trailed Tundo by 11 seconds after the 10th competitive stage. But going into the last stage, he broke a driveshaft.<\/p>\n

Muna Singh Jnr, son of legendary two-time Africa champion Muna Singh, hit a tree and kissed the home rally goodbye with mechanical damage.<\/p>\n

Tundo too had his share of troubles after he picked up two punctures in the last stage but made it out of the section to finish the demanding Zambian round. Tundo ran fastest on the qualifying stage on Friday and chose to start fourth on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boys had a puncture in the 10th stage which they managed to change in a record time,\u201d Tundo\u2019s team, Minti Motorsport wrote in a Facebook newsfeed.<\/p>\n

Tundo was the overnight leader on Saturday following six competitive stages on the day\u2019s itinerary.,<\/p>\n

He is hoping to clinch his first continental title to make a double of championship wins as he continues to lead both the ARC and KNRC standings.<\/p>\n

The multiple former Kenya champion wants to repeat the unprecedented double made by compatriot Jassi Singh who won both titles in 2015.<\/p>\n

Zambian fans had pegged their hopes on Leroy to stop the East African dominance but not until he crashed out on home stretch.<\/p>\n

A gutted fan speaking on a live stream of Zambia Motor Sport Association said: \u201cIt is really sad for Zambia. I mean, the difference between Carl and Leroy was only 11 seconds at some point. So, I was only hoping to see Leroy\u2019s R5 machine cruise into the last stage. To my surprise, I only saw Boterril coming. So all hopes were shattered when we didn\u2019t see Leroy go through the stage. We came in numbers to support him, but then again that\u2019s rallying.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
