Kick Energy team driver Simon Sharpe is ready for the second round of the 2011 Kenya Cross Country Championship having completed a successful test of his unique V8 powered Platz 4×4 this weekend.<\/p>\n

Sharpe, who won the final round of the 2010 championship, was expected to be in 2011 top field but mechanical gremlins locked him out during the first round. With the Platz having been repaired and put through a brief shakedown over the past weekend, Nairobi-based Sharpe is keen to get his season underway. “We began the first round with a target after winning at the end of 2010 but the gearbox broke very early in the rally. I’m hoping the problems will not recur and I am looking forward to taking part in Baringo show this weekend. My season starts now,” said Sharpe. The second round of the Ganatra JCB sponsored Kenya National Cross Country Championship takes place this weekend and will be organized by the Rift Valley Motor Sports Club. Starting from the Mid-Rift Tourist Information Centre on Saturday morning, the various bikes, quads, cars and buggies, will head cross country to the overnight halt at Lake Bagoria Hotel. Further off road action awaits the crews on Sunday before the ceremonial finish at Lake Bagoria Hotel in the afternoon.<\/p>\n
