JUNE 2015 | Anwar Sidi Motorsport Bulletin Issue No:98

It is indeed a great pleasure to write this welcoming address for the first time in my role as President of FIM AFRICA.

To stage a Continental Champion-ship event take a huge effort, which is nor-mally undertaken by a small team of dedicat-ed enthusiasts and I am sure that the same is true of this event.

In that respect I extend my sincere thanks to KMSF and those who have given their time and effort to make this event possible.

If past events are any measure, then I am sure that6once again Kenya will host an event worthy of Continental Championship status.

Even though the number of visiting rid-ers is not as hoped for, due mainly to bud-get restrictions, to those who have made the effort to travel to Kenya, we thank you for your commitment, which I am sure will be rewarded with an enjoyable event.

On that note, on behalf of FIM AFRICA I wish you all the very best for a safe, enjoyable and competitive event.

A special vote of appreciation and congratulations is also extended to each and every member of the Organizing Committee for their hard work, dedication and commitment to ensure the event will be a tremendous success.

Finally this message would not be complete without a message to the sponsors.

Such events cannot be hosted without the support of the Sponsors from the Business Community and on behalf of the Organizers, our sincere thanks to all of

those companies and the County of Meru.

Wishing each one of you a great and safe weekend racing.

Once again, having held two previous successful events, Kenya has been awarded the hosting of the 2015 Cross Country of African Nations by

FIM AFRICA. This event will be held on June 19th and 20th 2015. The venue is Kisima Farm, Timau and the route covers the foothills of the iconic Mount Kenya. This event is a one of the most prestigious in the African Continent and riders are expected from countries such as South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Bo-tswana, as well as our neighbors from Uganda

and Tanzania.The Organisers are well into preparations

for this event, and the course is being designed by one of our top Enduro competitors, Shaun Miller, who along with Kenya team mates Anthony Nielsen, Ross Field and Alan De Boer , were successful in winning their class in the event held last year in Zambia.

Shaun has designed a route of approximate-ly 40 km which will be run in laps or around 5 hours riding. The route is mixed and quite challenging, containing extreme river sections,

technical river sections, rocky sections, forest sections and steep hill sections. There will be about three spectator points, the main one being the start/finish area where competitors will have to complete a series of ten obstacles adding to the excitement.

The Kenya squad for the event, both bikes and quads, containing such riders as Shivam Vinayak, Ian Duncan, Tutu Maina, Ben Spinks, Shazar Anwar to name but a few, is being pre-pared by Team Captain, Ross Field. Countries may enter 5 riders per class as a Team, and

other riders as individuals. The top two riders in each class will score points for their Team, and the Team with the most points is declared the winner.

Friday 19th June will start with scrutineer-ing and documentation, followed by a sighting lap for all competitors.

Saturday 20th June sees the Race proper start at 09:00 and expected to finish around 14:00 hours. Prize giving will be held in the evening at the venue.

An exciting addition to this year’s competi-tion is the Dakar prize. This event is being added as one of the criteria towards awarding a rider from Africa an entry into the world famous Dakar Rally. There are a few Kenyan riders who will be challenging for that prize.

So preparations are racing ahead in what promises to be a very exciting event for Kenya. We look forward to welcoming everybody in June, up in Timau.
