Uganda's Yasin Nasser and co-driver Ali Katumba top the 2025 ARC standings with 63 points after two rounds of ARC 2025.

They are also rolling into Rwanda with one mission make dust with their Ford Fiesta R5, take trophies and grab ARC points as they look to dethrone serial winning crew of Karan Patel and Tauseef Khan who won the continental championship for the past two consecutive seasons.

Patel, driving a Skoda Fabia with his co-driver Tauseef Khan, started the 2025 season on a slow pace after he withdrew from Kenya Safari Rally in March which served as both the opening round of the African Championship and the third round of the FIA World Championship.
