“I am excited to announce Dimension Data, East Africa as the Official Technology Partner for the East Africa Classic Safari Rally (EACSR) and how we are revolutionizing this year’s rally through our technology,” Richard Hechle said.

The rally which was held last year was done in commemoration of Jayant Shah one of the East Africa’s most accomplished and talked about rally drivers who passed away earlier in 2021.

The rally was a return circuit after a long time as it had gone into a break.

This year’s version of the Classic Safari Rally is set to be held in June this year after last year’s version was a success leading to Cabinet Secretary for sports Amina Mohammed confirming the circuit to be raced annually.

The country signed a pact last Sunday to keep the event in the World Rally Championship until 2026. This year it is scheduled between June 23 to 26. Kenya has signed a deal for the Safari Rally to remain on the (World Rally Championship WRC) until 2026.
