With R5 super cars dictating the pace across the African motorsport scene, rally enthusiasts locally could have a rare chance to savour fresh adrenaline rush of the future world rally cars which will be available for national rallies. What this means is that new generation cars could, by and large, offer local spectators unique thrills should KCB Kenya National Rally Championship (KNRC) teams invest in them. FIA has setup Rally 2, Rally 3 and Rally 4 categories with budget caps for the vehicles. R5 cars are based on production cars and feature a 1600cc turbocharged petrol engine. R5 cars are a step down from World Rally Cars in their power and performance and are allowed to compete in WRC2 and WRC3 Championships.
