The prestigious Oryx Energies Rally of Tanzania became a nightmare for the Africa Rally Championship contenders who will register DNFs (did not finish) in the event.
Kenya’s Jaspreet Chatthe lost out on the Oryx Rally double as well as extending his lead on the ARC standings after he rolled in stage four.
Chatthe had registered the fastest times at stage three but saw his hopes dashed a stage later.

Jassy hit a ditch in stage four losing his right suspension & losing his wheel.
His young brother Muna retired in stage three after suffering a mechanical problem.
