The 2016 Motorsport season is officially part of the past with the SMC champions sprint being the last activity of the season.
The Sprint took place at Festino Cite on Boxing day.
Regardless of the hiked gate fares and the hot weather, rally fans filled the arena in large numbers to witness the final battle of the season. And indeed they were not disappointed.
Duncan ‘Kikankane’ Mubiru/George Semakula continued to prove his mastery of the super special stages. He put in a sublime performance to victory.
Mubiru fared through the 6km double circuit in the fastest time of 6 minutes and 42 seconds.
