The motorcycle category continues to elicit considerable interest across the continent with several riders enlisting to participate in the event sanctioned and recognized by the FIM Africa, the continental body governing motorcycle sports in Africa.
In keeping with international standards, this year's entry list consisted of 26 entrants from Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
One of the most interesting entries at this year's edition of Concours was Zimbabwean debutant Johane Nyagura who rode his 2011 Suzuki EN125-2A all the way from Kadoma (near Harare) Zimbabwe. Nyagura, a career nurse, is a member of the Zim Free Riders club and will be riding over 4,000km back to Zimbabwe.
"For me, the adventure of competing in my first Concours was to ride a total of 8000km to and fro Zimbabwe and experience the longest ride of my life. I'm overwhelmed with happiness to be in Kenya for the first time. I heard about the Concours last year from my club members and decided that I will be a part of the event this year."
Peter Wanday, the chairman of Alfa Romeo Owners Club (Kenya) who organized the iconic event said: "This year's event drew a full house of maximum allowable entries of cars and a near full house list of motorcycles. The Concours continues to live up to its expectations as the classiest event in Kenya motorsport calendar."
