Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Jas Mangat recovered from a tough day one of the three-day Equator Rally to finish on the podium in Naivasha, Kenya, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Mangat and Joseph Kamya had retired on day one of the event due to mechanical issues but repaired their Mitsubishi Evo X in time for the final push rejoining the race on \u2018Super Rally\u2019 rule that allows competitors to restart but suffer penalties for each stage missed.<\/p>\n

The Ugandan crew eventually clocked 3hr, 3min and 32sec to finish behind race winner Carl \u2018Flash\u2019 Tundo and Tejveer Rai. The latter two drive VW Polos.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter dropping on day one, we managed to fix the car and looked at the option of rally two and we decided to give it a shot,\u201d Mangat said after the event.<\/p>\n

Mangat led a team of eight Ugandan crews across the border but only he and reigning national champion Yassin Nasser managed to score points in the Africa Rally Championship (ARC) event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are glad we got good points for ARC and ARC2, this gives us a boost to think of ARC again,\u201d Mangat added.<\/p>\n

The Pili Pili driver had sat out local events and only returned for the third round on the NRC calendar in Sembabule where he finished third.<\/p>\n

Rajiv Ruparelia, Ronald Ssebuguzi and Amaanraj Rai were all on the causality list in an event where only 18 of the 32 crews lasted the distance.<\/p>\n

The rally, a precursor to Kenya\u2019s impending June return to the World Rally Championship after 19 years, featured mainly treacherous roads following heavy rains.<\/p>\n
