RUBiS Energy Kenya and Castrol Kenya has flagged off the Chana Brothers Rally Team for their 2025 World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally campaign at an event held at the RUBiS Nyayo Stadium station.
RUBiS Energy Kenya’s sponsorship of the Chana Brothers marks a significant investment in local motorsport talent, aligning with Castrol’s global motorsport heritage, including its sponsorship of Ford Motorsports in the WRC. The Chana Brothers’ recent acquisition of a Ford rally car further strengthens the synergy between these partnerships, ensuring they have the best support for their WRC journey.
“Our support for the Chana Brothers reflects our dedication to fostering local rally talent and giving them a global platform,” said Olivier Sabrié, RUBiS Energie East Africa Group CEO and RUBiS Energy Kenya Managing Director. “We believe in powering champions and creating opportunities for Kenyan drivers to compete at the highest levels.”
Ayhan Koksal, VP Castrol META, added, “Castrol’s long-standing heritage in motorsports aligns perfectly with this partnership. As a sponsor of Ford Motorsport in the WRC, our advanced lubricants will enhance the Chana Brothers’ performance, giving them a competitive edge on the global rally stage.”
As they prepare to take on the grueling WRC 2025 season, Jasmeet Chana expressed the team’s gratitude to RUBiS Energy Kenya for their invaluable support. “Competing in the 2025 Safari Rally is an incredible honor, and we are excited for the challenge ahead. Having the support of Rubis Energy Kenya fuels our confidence and determination. Their commitment to motorsport and local talent gives us the backing we need to perform at our best. We are ready to push our limits and make Kenya proud”.
The WRC Safari Rally will take place from March 20th to March 23rd 2025. The Safari Rally, one of the most challenging and iconic races in the WRC calendar, serves as a key platform for rally teams to test their endurance, skill, and vehicle performance on Kenya’s demanding terrain.
