Kenya National Rally Championship (KNRC) Division One leader @mcrae_kimathi is aiming to be the top local finisher at the #WRCSafariRally slated for June 24-27 in Naivasha. - @StandardKenya Image
He is already happy he has taken the first step towards realsing his dream after his new toy, a Ford Fiesta R3 was unveiled by President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House, Nairobi, on July 17. Image
It is also at the @wrcsafarirally that I will strive to make the best use of the foundation I have laid down in motorsport for years - @mcrae_kimathi son of the former rally driver and now the CEO of WRC Safari Rally Kenya, Phineas Kimathi.
The 2017 National Autocross Championship runners-up has already sold his old Subaru Imprezza N12 after getting the new beast. He sold it to an upcoming driver and wished the buyer well as he starts a new milestone in his racing career.
My prayer is for the Ford Fiesta R3 to better my previous results I got with the old car. - @mcrae_kimathi
Being in the prestigious @FIARallyStar Young Star Programme, supported by national carrier @KenyaAirways and mobile services providers @SafaricomPLC, has opened exciting opportunities for @mcrae_kimathi. The three-year scholarship gives him an opportunity to learn from the best.
As the current KNRC Division One leader, @mcrae_kimathi is hopeful to bag the series at the end of the year. The 26-year old was introduced to the sport by his father Phineas, who was a national champion way back in 1997.
In the next five years, Kimathi wants to have the East African and the national titles under his belt. His message to other young people struggling to join the game is to never to give up.
