NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 21 – The second round of the KCB Autocross will be hosted at the Nairobi County’s new racetrack Waterfront Mall.

Expected to spice up the Sikh Union round are Izmir
Racing stablemates comprising of former 2WD Turbo Champions Imran Hakada and
Shalien Mughal, last year’s 2WD Non-Turbo challenger Sahir “Sarry” Mughal, his
son Iliyun Mughal and Round One’s 2WD Turbo winner Shaz Esmail aka “Coach”.

Having made aggressive additions to their
championship roster, Izmir now boasts of desirable prowess with youngster Azaad
Manji, his brother Zuber and Lovejyot Singh in the mix.

Lovejyot launched a double championship assault at
Jamhuri’s season opener behind the wheels of an Attacker 1 Buggy and a Subaru
N10.

Having already eclipsed former champion Rehan Shah
in 4WD turbo, Lovejyot hopes to end the 2020 season on a high.

“I will be in the same cars in the same classes. I
need to check up the 2WD Turbo buggy after the first round. I have replaced the
turbo on the buggy, and I am very excited about the new venue at Waterfront
Mall. Simba Club always comes up with exciting new tracks,” said Lovejyot.

The Mughals are set to make a resurgence for round 2
after skipping the first race.

Team Decko Racing and Safaricom Home Fibre has
defending Bambino Class Champion Yuvraj Rajput “Yuvi” in a Magi Bug 500cc,
Kiana Rajput in a “Pee Wee” Polaris 170cc and lead driver Kirit Rajput who will
be piloting a Subaru GC8.

Kirit will be angling at scoring valuable points
towards the championship after a winning start at Jamhuri.

Like Kirit, former KNRC 2WD contender Sam Karangatha
will return in the 2WD Non-Turbo Car class hoping to make it two out of two.

“Organizers have planned a new venue at the Waterfront
Mall in Karen which is very exciting. It should be an interesting challenge as
we don’t know what type of track conditions to expect. We’ll nevertheless take
a cautious approach and build on that with each heat, and hopefully aim for a
podium. It should be an exciting day out as it’s an accessible venue and that
many are bound to turn up. I’m looking forward to it and can’t wait to attack,”
said Karangatha.

Studio A-Z Racing ace driver Zameer Verjee who
posted the Fastest Overall Time of the Day on the last meeting will renew his
rivalry with Sarry Mughal of Izmir in what is anticipated to be a scintillating
war for Two Drive Non-Turbo points.

Whatever’s up the sleeves of the drivers will be
known this weekend after the practice lap which will precede official four
heats. The best of three will, however, count towards final classification with
the Fastest Time of The Day (FTD) at every heat culminating into two bonus
championship points.
