The coastal Angolan city is hosting the continental showpiece this weekend, with drivers from 15 countries competing for honours.

Kenya is represented by Sean Njumbi in the Junior Rotax category, while Jesse Murithi and Myles Imbayi will compete in the Senior Max class.

Team Kenya delegation leader Norris Ongalo said the team arrived in Benguela at 2 a.m. following a 12-hour bus journey from Luanda and had quickly settled into the competition environment.

“The people are friendly, and the fact that the team met competitors from 14 other countries made it easier to settle down. The host country and ASN, FADM, have been phenomenal,” Ongalo said.

“The only barrier has been language, with Angola being predominantly Portuguese-speaking and very few people speaking English. The team has made use of online translation tools to communicate. The weather is also good.”
