Nairobi — Autocross youngsters Rajveer Thethy and Sameer Nanji are set to make their Kenya National Rally Championship (KNRC) debuts during Sunday’s KCB Guru Nanak Rally which wraps-up the 2021 season in Il-Bissell.

Rajveer (18) will team up with immediate former Autocross Quad Class champion Wayne Fenandes in a Subaru Impreza N10 built and prepared by Promotorworks while Nanji will partner up with Zaib Azhar in his VW Golf 2WD car.

Both drivers will team up in a two-car ‘R&S Racing’ outfit with which they harbor ambitions to utilize the experience and knowledge gained from their driving in the KCB Kenya National Autocross Championship.

Fernandes, who is also the immediate former KNRC 2WD navigators’ champion with Daren Miranda, praised the ‘new kids on the block’, saying: “I sat with Rajveer for practice and I must admit that he was very impressive on car control.”

“He was also quick on understanding pace notes. We managed to write our own notes and put them to the test, and I could see that he would listen and understand the lines which I’m confident he would improve his approach into turns and straights. It was a good feeling to sit in a rally car again after a long while.”

“The last rally I did was with Daren in Machakos. I am looking forward to this weekend’s Guru Nanak Rally.”

Rajveer is a three-time Autocross champion in a 2wd buggy and car. He is now moving classes to turbo in KNRC and Open in Autocross.

R&S Racing team ran a performance test in Naivasha at the weekend as their final phasetowards the Sikh Union organized event got off to a scintillating start.
