The fast cars, speed.adrenaline that comes with music, food and drinks of all kinds, fun, music and chilling yet cool weather set the mood for the whole weekend especially the brilliant performances from all the drivers, wrc officials landing in choppers, the president making his grand entry into the Hells gate for the finale flag off were some of the most memorable epic moments to cherish for a long time.
With the current recession in Kenya and the world, the turnout for both events was slightly lower than last year but that did not dampen the high expectations of Kenyans to drive down to Naivasha as their way of getting away from the hustle and bustle of Nairobi hectic crazy daily routines. It was a peaceful and historic moment for Kenyans who all walked away knowing that they need to explore Kenya more and attend more events within the country to promote our tourism, sports and entertainment industries.
