This motor rally competition resumed this month after a long spell of persistent effects of the covid19 pandemic.

The rally took place in Hoima district, it was run on one day with three stages repeated to cover a total competitive distance of 158.24km.

It was a hotly contested affair among the top five crews on the NRC leaderboard since their performance was the determinant of who eyes on the title.

“We are very happy with the performance. We now have not-so-bad points lead in the championship. In the final round, we shall not be looking for positions but the points we need to claim the title,” said Duncan Mubiru.
