40% Training officials for a safe Safari Rally

Kenya Motor Sports Federation were awarded a grant to implement a programme of rally safety training in support of their bid for the Safari Rally to be part of the World Rally Championship calendar. Due to Covid restrictions and the inevitable delays caused by the impact of the pandemic, the programme would finally be combined with the 2021 programme. The 2020 grant was provided to support training for 50 senior officials, including a Train the Trainer programme. The programme also included a focus on succession planning, as well as first-on-scene and extrication. KMSF selected Motorsport UK as their Regional Training Provider to deliver the programme.
