Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The 2025 FIA African Rally Championship heads to Kigali this week with drivers set to jet in for the cre\u0300me de la cre\u0300me Rwanda Mountain Gorilla on Monday, June 30.<\/p>\n

The Mountain Gorilla Rally, scheduled for July 4-6, marks the third round of ARC 2025 which commenced in Kenya, the home of the Safari Rally in March and traversed via Uganda which hosted the Pearl of Africa Uganda Rally in May.<\/p>\n

According to Rwanda Automobile Club (RAC) Ange-Francois Cyatangabo, the cars lined up for the Mountain Gorilla Rally are expected to start arriving on Monday as drivers target early arrivals to prepare well for the race.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reconnaissance of the roads for the race is scheduled on Wednesday,\u201d Cyatangabo told Times Sport.<\/p>\n

Kenya\u2019s Karan Patel and Tauseef Khan are all but targeting victory in Rwanda whose roads have becomes their favorite terrain over the past two editions.<\/p>\n

The pair, who drive Skoda Fabia, won the past two editions after which they went on to become African champions.<\/p>\n

The 2025 edition, however, seems tougher with Ugandan driver Yasin Nasser now leading the rankings with 63 points, 27 points clear of Patel who ranks No 6 on the ARC 2025 classification.<\/p>\n

But victory in Rwanda would bring Patel back in contention of the continental championship, with two more rounds to play in Burundi and Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Ranking<\/p>\n

Yasin Nasser 63<\/p>\n

Nikhil Sachania 50<\/p>\n

Carl Tundo 50<\/p>\n

Jeremiah Wahome 42<\/p>\n

Samman Vohra 36<\/p>\n
