For Rajveer, the Nakuru Rally will mark his first appearance in the 2024 KNRC season. His aim is to gain more seat-time and secure good finishing positions.
"This will be a fun new challenge, especially since our car is set up for gravel stages. It will be tricky to make up time on the tarmac stage, but we're looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity to adapt and perform under different conditions," Rajveer noted.
Rajveer, who has contested eight career KNRCs alongside Wayne Fernandes, has set his sights on achieving a podium finish.
In 2022, he became the youngest competitor to participate and finish the Mini Classic Rally in Eldoret, driving a Datsun PA10. He has also been crowned the Autocross champion in the 2WD NT Car Category in 2021.
