East African Safari Classic Rally – Update on the 2019 event
Welcome to the first edition of our newsletter for the East African Safari Classic Rally 2019.
Recce Team 2019
Meet the 2019 Recce team!
Pipi Renu – Rally Manager
Raju Chaggar – Clerk of Course
Alfir Khan – Deputy Clerk of Course
This year the team has put together quite an adventurous route for the competitors to go through.
The route has been finalised and the first draft is ready with three stages to be running each day, and the average distance per day will be 450kms.
The Rally passes through Mombasa, Tanga, Arusha, Voi, with the rest day being in Tanzania.
The event will take place in Kenya for 4 days and 4 days in Tanzania, with more night stops at each venue making it easier for competitors.
The full details of the night stops in the right sequence will be shared in due course.
"This is one of the stages during recce – a successful day having found two exceptional marathon stages over 100kms. A promise to keep to the competitors, we ventured into new areas and managed to piece together stages that have every element of rallying – fast, long straights and technically twisty tracks…..stages with a bit of everything.
The ‘African classic adventure’ is definitely getting there with four new stages and still whole lot more in plan." – Raju Chaggar (C of C), during the first leg of recce in Voi.
