The East African Safari Classic Rally (EASCR) has appointed Chantal Young to the position of Rally Office Manager.

According to a statement from the rally body, Chantal’s appointment is not only to build capacity for the 11th edition of the rally, which will run from December 9 to 18, 2023, across 11 Counties in Kenya.

Complimenting the current team’s activities, the role of Rally Office Manager will also be pivotal in the future growth of the EASCR and support the increase in events and competitors anticipated from early 2024 onwards.

“Chantal’s role brings extra capability to the team as it is confirmed that over 60 entrants, a third of which are local drivers, will take part in the rally which begins in Kilifi County and ends in Diani, covering a distance of nearly 4,000 kilometres in what promises to be a rip-roaring and action-packed competition,” read the statement.

Chantal has impeccable pedigree and experience for the role. She has always been surrounded by motorsport and has been one of Kenya’s most well-rounded female competitors with a history in quad bikes and rallying.
