Essa Wins Shell Pearl of Africa Uganda Rally

KAMPALA, Sunday – Zambia’s Mohammed Essa has won the Shell Pearl of Africa Uganda Rally with a resounding three minutes one second lead after dominating the three-day race from start to finish.

The win gives Essa a 55-point lead in the FIA African Rally Championship (ARC) race having increased his season tally to 89 points against Rwandan Giancarlo Davite’s 34 points.

Davite Rwandese leapfrogged to second position in the African contest by finishing fourth in the Pearl that ended with two local drivers driver Jas Mangat and Ronald Sebuguzi finishing second and third.

With three rallies left before the African season ends, Essa remains on firm ground for possible coronation as continental champion if he manages another good run at next month’s Kobil Rally of Tanzania in Dar-es-Salaam.

The 23-year-old Essa, who was co-driven by his Zimbabwean partner Greg Stead in a Madison/Puma Engery Subaru Impreza N12B, arrives in Lusaka on Monday aboard a Kenya Airways day flight.
