The 2014 Motorsports Personality of the Year, Nikhil SaChania, has acquired a new Ford Fiesta Rally 3 car just four months after crashing his Mitsubishi Evo X during the 2024 WRC Safari Rally.

The seasoned driver, alongside his navigator Deep Patel, received a substantial and timely boost of Sh5 million from main sponsor Kenya Commercial Bank for the acquisition of the high-octane vehicle, marking a new chapter in their illustrious rally career.

Speaking during the unveiling of the car at Garage in Imara Daima, Nairobi, Nikhil remarked, “Motorsports is an expensive sport. After the unfortunate accident during the Safari Rally, we made a commitment to return to the sport. Acquiring this car would not have been possible without the support of KCB Bank

. I am grateful to them and look forward to racing with the new car. After testing it a few times, the car feels good and more competitive than the Evo X.”

The new Ford Fiesta replaces Nikhil’s trusted Mitsubishi Evo X, which he raced for seven years and used to secure a third-place finish in the 2023 WRC Safari Rally under the Kenya National Rally Championship (KNRC) and 19th overall.
