On May 30, 2022, the fourth round of the 2022 Kenya National Rally Championship took place in Eldoret, with Leonardo Varese emerging as the top contender in Division 3 and Two-Wheel Drive.
Driving his Toyota Auris 2WD, Varese secured a credible sixth overall position, maintaining his lead in both classes.
The event was organized by East African Safari Rally and sponsored by Kenya Breweries through its White Cap brand.
"The team did a really good job in Eldoret. It's surely more than what we were expecting. I'm grateful to everyone in the team and our sponsors SportPesa for a great outing in The Home of Champions as well as the organizing team from East African Safari Rally for great routes and scenery up the Cherangani Hills," Varese said.
Sam Karangatha also made a notable appearance, emerging as the Classic Car Class winner in a career-best fifth overall position in his first outing behind the wheel of a Minti Motorsport Datsun 180B.
"It was a dream come true to be back in a rally car. The rally went smoothly, with awesome routes and great organisation," Karangatha said.
Group N leader Jasmeet Chana, however, faced challenges during the event, losing the top position to Karan Patel at the penultimate stage.
