Onkar Rai is expected to defend the Chloride Exide Hill Climb title when the next round of the competition takes place on November 24-25 by the outskirts of Naivasha.

The Hill Climb Organisers are at advanced stage to make sure the last of the three-round-series is run on a new venue after the cancellation of the previous round.

The Rift Valley Motor Sport Club organisers have secured a new venue at the Malewa Bay, which is about 12 kms off the Nakuru-Moi Highway on the Moi North Lake Road.

Gurvir Bhabra, the Race Director said there will be a special venue for the spectators in the next round of the Chloride Exide-sponsored Hill Climb competition.

"There will be a spectators area where live lap results - “King of Hill” - will be relayed and displayed on a notice board. Spectators can come in and out of venue at anytime during event," said Bhabra.

"The Hill Climb team is eager to show off the latest wireless photocells for jump starts and flying finish. For the new series in 2019, the organisers will be introducing extra photocells to allow results to include split times along the route.''

Chloride Exide Group Managing Director, Guy Jack said: “We are honoured to be this year’s title sponsors of the Chloride Exide Hill climb event."
