MOSES Lumala plans to launch a pre-emptive strike this weekend, to stop Charlie Lubega marching towards the NRC driver’s title.
“We need to work hard(to stop Lubega). Charlie is a good driver and has a perfect car,” Lumala said.
Charlie has won the battle of the giants in the first two national rally championships and is well set to storm ahead at the MOSAC Garden City rally.
Lumala (150points) who is only 10 points behind Lubega said his strategy is to stay on track for the 2003 National Rally Championship title.
“It is risky to try too hard with my old engine but I can win. It is important to finish and get those crucial points then take him on outright in the next rally when I have a new engine,” Lumala said.
Lumala was unshaken by speed merchant Emma Katto. Katto seems to have solved his persistent mechanical problems with a lorry-full of Toyota Celica ST185 spare parts.
“Emma has to perform before I gauge him,” Lumala said.
The draw for the Motor Sport Africa Club (MOSAC) organised rally that has attracted 18 cars will be held today at Garden City.
Scrutineering of cars will be done on Friday at TOTAL-Nakawa before the super special stage at Garuga double track circuit on Saturday.
The rally is co-sponsored by TOTAL Uganda, Garden City, Tight Security, Fire Masters, The Venue and East African Chains.
Meanwhile Katumwa Sport Centre yesterday offered William Blick 200 litres of fuel.
