NATIONAL champion Charlie Lubega and Chipper Adams resume their battle for the National Rally Championship title today.
The super special stage at Kaazi will set the tone for what should be a close race in the Simba Telecom rally, the fifth NRC event this season.
Lubega( Mitsubishi Evo 4) and Chipper (Mitsubishi Evo 5) have each won two rallies.
Lubega coming off last month's dramatic finish where he beat Chipper by two seconds, will be out to register another victory.
"I will take it easy at Kaazi because I rolled last time and then I will see what happens on Sunday," Lubega said.
Lubega said he would drive safely enough to fly the Total Uganda flag to the finishing line.
Chipper said: "When you are chasing, you become more aggressive ."
"We have done proper reccing, the car is set and we will try our best and then see how it ends."
