Nairobi will witness a raw, immediate form of motorsport when engines roar to life at Kasarani Sports Center.
Drivers must stare each other down across the start line, dive-bomb into tight corners, and fight for every inch of dirt and asphalt.
Competitors face a high-octane celebration where established giants and audacious newcomers will test the absolute limits of their machines.
Teenage talent spearheads a movement that is rewriting the rules of engagement. Fifteen-year-old Cheche Ababu represents a breed of driver defined by a complete absence of hesitation.
Strapped into his aggressive 1500cc Buggy, he steps up to prove that maturity is measured in lap times, not birth certificates. No automatic gearbox, no electronic safety nets, and absolutely no room for shortcuts exist in his cockpit.
Andrea Tundo is already taking his turn, proving that the future of Kenyan motorsport is on the grid today. Another fifteen-year-old prodigy, Tundo is set to unleash his 1300cc Buggy in the fiercely contested RX Cubs category.
Sean Njumbi returns to defend his hard-earned reputation in a nimble 1000cc Buggy. Having already tasted championship glory, Njumbi has built a brand around flat-out, uncompromising racing. Light chassis weight, screaming motorcycle powerplants, and drivers who refuse to lift off the throttle make this category a masterclass in car control.
Lightweight buggies boast extreme power-to-weight ratios. Explosive acceleration, rapid cornering speeds, and aggressive close-quarters racing consistently produce dramatic moments on the track.
Heavy Machinery and Legends on the Track
Excitement is not confined to the buggies. Githengi Kimamo is bringing his meticulously prepared Toyota Vitz Rally Car to battle in the Two-Wheel Drive category. A well-built, reliable platform paired with a clean, defensive racing line can easily upset more powerful opponents on the unpredictable Kasarani dirt.
All eyes will be locked on a true pioneer of the sport in the Open Class. Maxine Wahome, the history-making WRC3 Safari Rally class winner, officially joins the RX Round 2 grid.
Transitioning her fierce competitive drive to the sprint format of Rallycross, she will pilot her high-performance Subaru Impreza through the chaos. Maxine’s presence guarantees a masterclass in aggressive positioning, promising a thrilling fight to the finish line.
X Fest: Celebrating Speed and Community
Beyond the white-knuckle racing, fans can experience a comprehensive celebration of Kenyan motorsport culture. Organizers have curated an immersive festival experience that bridges the gap between the high-pressure paddock and the passionate fan base.
Spectators will have the unique opportunity to meet their favorite drivers, inspect the purpose-built racing machinery up close, and enjoy family-friendly entertainment.
Local food vendors and high-energy music will create a vibrant atmosphere where the community comes together. Hardcore petrolheads and casual weekend spectators will unite under a shared passion for speed.
Battle lines have been drawn, engines are warm, and the future of Kenyan motorsport is ready to drop the clutch. Action-packed days await families and fans alike in an unforgettable weekend of dirt-track magic.
