NRC 4 Update: Sebuguzi takes lead in Fort Portal

Ronald Sebuguzi holds a two second lead after the first day of the UMC Kalya Courts Rally.
The Shell sponsored crew had a trouble free drive in their Mitsubishi EvoX; cruising through the 2.4km Boma Grounds Super special in 5 minutes.
Christakis Fitidis (Mitsubishi EvoX) was equally up to the task. A seamless second run was enough to see him climb to second place.
Rauf Adam was exciting as well. He is third after Saturday’s leg.
Duncan Mubiru in a Subaru Impreza N14 claimed a slim lead after the first run. His charge for the day’s lead was however undone by two punctures later in the second run. That pushed him down to thirteenth and 35 seconds behind the leader.
Musa Mulimira (Toyota Curren) leads the 2WD category. He is two seconds ahead of Samuel Watendwa (Toyota FX).
Dr. Nsereko is ahead in the CRC class.
The crews head into Sunday’s final leg that consists of four stages that will be repeated.

Crews geared up for NRC4

The 2018 season hits the half way mark this weekend. And the fourth round of the National Rally Championship takes crews to Kabarole in the western part of Uganda.

The United Motorsports Club (UMC) organised event will be centered in Fort Portal town for the third successive year.

Over forty crews have registered to take part in the three-day event that will feature Super Special stage on Saturday.

That will be followed by four repeated stages; Bukuku (8.7km), Amaberee ganyina mwiru (14.41km), Rwenzori Tea (14.1km) and Mpanga (23.99km) on Sunday for a total competitive distance of 144km.

Last year’s winner Hassan Alwi will lead the park in the chase for this year’s Fort Portal rally win.

The Subaru Impreza N14 driver will need the fortunes that saw him take victory in 2017.

Championship leader Jas Mangat comes to Fort Portal off a disappointing drive in Masaka where his engine gave way early on day two.

The three-time national champion will be looking for a third rally win this season.

All eyes will be on Ponsiano Lwakataka. The Subaru N8 driver was phenomenal in April’s Masaka Rally. Many are keen to see him repeat the same feat in Western Uganda.

The rally also provides the possible return of Desh Kananura to the fray.

Other category battles will see Edwin Kalule seek to extend his lead in the 2WD championship.

The event starts with scrutineering on Friday.
