WRC Safari Rally To Be Held Every Year Until 2026 – President Uhuru Kenyatta

President Uhuru Kenyatta has announced that the WRC Safari Rally will be held in Kenya every year until the year 2026.

This follows an agreement inked between the government of Kenya, Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and World Rally Championship (WRC).

FIA is an association established in June 1904 to represent the interests of motoring organisations and motor car users.

On the other hand, WRC is the highest level of global competition in the motorsport discipline of rallying, governed and organised by the FIA.
