08. What do you think about the Rally Route, Terrain and Stages in this year’s Pearl Rally?

A lot. The Ugandan routes are a bit outdated considering that most drivers are self sponsored and we have many rallies a year almost every month.

These routes not only break cars but also our pockets. For pearl I still think of the normal rough sections with stones and ditches.
