Kenya Rally championships roar off this weekend in KCB Guru Nanak Rally on Stony Athi on Sunday as new regulations have been set.
Power stages have over the years been synonymous with World Rally Championship (WRC) events. They are usually run as a final stage of a rally in the WRC what with additional championship points for the top five crews through the stage. This is regardless of where they are classified in a rally.
Locally, power stages have been few and far between and devoid of bonus points. But following the timely addendum onto the National Competition Rules (NCRs), crews will now be privileged to score bonus points following the running of the power-stage.
Guru Nanak, one of the most prestigious rounds of the eight-leg Kenya National Rally Championship (KNRC), will be flagged off from KCB Kitengela Branch then head straight to SGR, Stoni Athi and Kifaru regions for action proper.
According to the local regulations, points will only be scored in the overall KNRC Class with the fastest crew taking 3 points, second fastest 2 points and third fastest 1 point. The points on the power stage will be additional to what drivers score in the championship.
