Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The miracle he desired never came in the Rwanda Mountain Gorilla Rally during the penultimate leg of this year\u2019s Africa Rally Championship (ARC).<\/p>\n

But, Yasin Nasser and his co-driver Ali Katumba will be very proud of what they have achieved this year as the late Charles Muhangi remains a reference point for winning the African title in 1999.<\/p>\n

Nasser went to Rwanda needing to win the final two rounds of the 2021 ARC with the other set for next month in November and the hope leader Carl \u2018Flash\u2019 Tundo stalls in both.<\/p>\n

Tundo won in Kigali to clinch his first ARC title with a race to spare.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe race is obviously going to be a tough one. But that is how competition is ought to be,\u201d Nasser has said severally this season.<\/p>\n

Nasser was troubled again when his Subaru GVB blew the turbo in the second stage of day two and lost time to slip down on the table and finished seventh overall but fifth among ARC-registered drivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not regretting why we decided to take part in the ARC events,\u201d Katumba affirmed.<\/p>\n

Naaser\/Katumba are champions of the lesser ARC 2 category.<\/p>\n

Tundo clocked one hour, 29 minutes and 42.8 seconds to beat compatriot Karan Patel by 14.4 seconds for a fourth continental win this season having won in Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a super job to do winning the event and the championship. I didn\u2019t want to be a champion and then come second in the event,\u201d said Tundo.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn African Rally Championship title is something that I have dreamt about for a long time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Third overall was another Kenyan \u2013 Kimathi Junior \u2013 in a time of one hour, 40 minutes and 17.2 seconds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate our sponsors for all the support but these events are really very expensive,\u201d Nasser, whose time of one hour, 54 minutes and 5.2 seconds, said.<\/p>\n

He was 24 minutes and 22.4 seconds off the winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cUganda has many drivers and rally cars but we need more sponsors to come on board so that we have more cars out of the country,\u201d the lone warrior added. The team was sponsored by Mansor industries Tanzania, Moil Uganda and Moil Kenya.<\/p>\n

Tundo gives Kenya a seventh ARC title in a row and he becomes the fifth Kenyan to win the coveted title.<\/p>\n

Manvir Baryan (2017, 2018, 2019), Don Smith (2016), Jaspreet Chatthe (2015), David Horsey (1984) and Shekhar Mehta (1981).<\/p>\n
