The fifth leg of the KCB Micro Banking Rally will take place this weekend in Nakuru.
This was disclosed today during a press briefing by the chairman of the Kenya Motor Sports Foundation (KMSF) Jim Kahumbura and the sponsors of the event.
Kahumbura said that there are only three rallies left in the 2010 Kenya National Rally Championship (KNRC) calendar and there are over 40 entries anticipated to compete.
“The rally will take place at the Egertons ARC Hotel from 9am to 4pm and will feature five competitive stages with the service part positioned right at the Equator within Mogotio town and the highlight of the competition will be the one kilometer spectator stage next to the service park,” he said.
Head of Micro Banking Simon Kariuki said that apart from exciting spectators and nurturing talent the rally presents a good opportunity for the bank to introduce and sell its products in a fun way.
“KCB has invested a total of Ksh 30 million for the KNRC 2010 and it gets a lot of recognition from it,” he said.
Kariuki added that the KCB Group through the KCB Foundation uses the opportunity to partner with communities within the rallying circuit in elaborate Corporate Social Investments (CSI) programs.
According to the organizers, the remaining events, KCB S&L Mortgages Rally is slated for September in Nairobi while the KCB Asset based finance rally will take place in Mombasa in October and the KCB Guru Nanak Rally also for Nairobi will close off this season in November.
