Free fuel for KCB Rally Shell stage fastest drivers

Fresh excitement has been injected into the KCB rally as Vivo Energy has decided to give free fuel to the fastest rally drivers in selected sections of the rally.  Drivers in all categories namely division one, division two, division three and the 2 wheel drive category are eligible for this reward.

Vivo Energy Kenya, the company that distributes and markets Shell-branded fuels and lubricants, will reward  each of the fastest drivers in the four categories with Ksh. 10,000 worth of Shell V-Power fuel.

The sections – dubbed Shell stages– are only 3km long, and within the closed area of the rally due to safety reasons. This competitive stage was started during the Voi event in June, with the Twiga section selected to be the Shell stage.

By the end of the series, 20 drivers will have been awarded.  For Twiga the winners were: Karan Patel, Division one; Dennis Mwenda, Division two; Pavit Kenth, Division three; and Leo Varese, 2 wheel drive category.  All four winners have received their Shell V-Power fuel card prizes.

Speaking during the presentation ceremony, Leo Varese was glad to have won the fuel, as it has boosted his preparations for the Eldoret Rally.  “I didn’t win the rally but I’m very happy that I won this competition, which will help me prepare for the Eldoret rally this weekend.” said Varese.

Vivo Energy’s Kenya’s marketing manager Mark Senteu said the company added the twist in the bigger picture of the competition to galvanize its commitment to the rally:  “Vivo Energy Kenya, through V-Power and Shell Helix, is already sponsoring a driver in the rally, but we felt there was need to increase the excitement in the rally amongst all drivers. The drivers are very excited about this new addition in the race and are all hoping to receive a Shell V-Power voucher.”
