WRC Safari Rally Monaco Signing

Safari Rally Kenya will remain on the FIA World Rally Championship calendar until 2026 after a three-year extension to the current contract was signed in Monaco on Sunday.

Siebel said last year’s Safari return to the WRC strengthened the desire of both parties to ensure the rally was a key championship fixture for the long-term.

” The signing of the Events Promotions Agreement today is an expression of our commitment to the growth of the sport. The benefits of hosting the Rally are self-evident from the construction of an ultramodern service park in Naivasha, to a boost in businesses and positioning of the country as an ideal destination for safari rally enthusiasts, the growth of our tourism sector, and utilisation of a team of highly trained cadre of professionals.” Amina Mohamed said

“We were able to deliver to the country a Safari Rally which is part of our heritage and which we had lost for many, many years. This is a really historic moment, a threshold moment for us, that this commitment and dedication has been rewarded,” she added.

“We look forward to many more exciting events. It’s a very, very proud moment for our country and a proud moment for all of us that have worked on this.”
