#PulseSportsUGA | /wC3a1Nsz2p- Pulse Sports Uganda May 4, 2023 Yasin Nasser says that the power behind his Ford Fiesta R5 does not guarantee a good result at this weekend's Pearl of Africa Uganda Rally in Jinja. 'We are not intending on cancelling any stage because of the conditions unless it is an unfortunate condition, and when it is the only option like we have a pile-up of cars getting stuck in a stage,' he explained. However, he assures everyone that the stages are really nice for drivers' liking, even with the wet conditions that they are facing. Mayanja is in charge of the Pearl Rally for the first time, and he understands the weight of expectation on getting things right. “At the moment, we cannot tell whether it is going to be dry or not, but all indications show what it is likely to be,” he added. Ultimately, it’s about having a 100 percent closed road and the weather presents its challenges.” “We are trying to be as flexible as possible in order to have alternatives in case something happens.

Can he finally win the Pearl of Africa Rally? #PulseSportsUGA | #POAR | #FMU /7IxIKlZAzH- Pulse Sports Uganda May 4, 2023 The three-time National Rally Champion Ronald Ssebuguzi is set for the Pearl of Africa Rally after completing scrutineering. 'It has been raining every day and we have no control over the weather,” he shared with Kawowo Sports. However, the Pearl Rally Clerk of Course (COC), Omar Mayanja, has assured the participants and fans that they have a plan in place to ensure a safe and exciting race. The rainy conditions affected the running of the rally last year leading to the cancellation of stages, and this year, one of the favourites, Karan Patel from Kenya, withdrew from the race due to the poor road conditions of the competitive stages. The Pearl of Africa Rally is set to kick off this Friday in Jinja, Eastern Uganda, as the third round of the Africa Rally Championship and the second round of the National Rally Championship.

This year's rally has been met with concerns over the weather conditions and the state of the roads following recent heavy rains in the area and their impact on the road conditions.
