Talanta Motorsport Academycoming to Kasarani

Rallying enthusiasts have all the reasons to smile after the recent announcement by the Cabinet Secretary in-charge of Youth Affairs Creative Economy, and Sports Hon. Ababu Namwamba.

The CS announced that the Ministry of Sports through the Kenya Academy of Sports is setting up a school of rallying in Kasarani to speed up the identifying, nurturing, and monetizing talents in line with the Talanta Hela initiative.

The Academy will be launched on March 27, 2024 and will serve as the curtain raiser of the much-anticipated 2024 World Rally Championships (WRC) Safari Rally.

The Academy has already started the process of picking the first class of students from nearby areas.

“The Academy will be launched in Kasarani.  It will be part of the Kenya Academy of Sports. The first class of students are being picked from nearby areas. This is part of the system to bring the top drivers back. We have reduced the rally to an event where foreign drivers come, race and go back. It has to change,” the CS said.
