Rally daredevil John Consta Karumuna is expected to make a comeback to the competitive rallying arena.
The excitement has been fuelled by the emergence of photos showcasing Consta's new red Ford Fiesta Proto.
The car, developed in Poland, has been in Kenya at fellow rally driver Carl Tundo’s garage where they have made slight changes to it, with the paint job also expected to be done there.
Consta and his team have travelled to Kenya to watch the Safari rally and also make final changes to it in a series of testing exercises, that will make it conform to his preference.
Rally enthusiasts eagerly anticipate witnessing the triumphant return of this talented driver, eagerly awaiting his first competitive rally since his hiatus in 2015.

Initially taking a break from rallying in 2014 due to a perceived disadvantage with his previous car, a Subaru Impreza N10, Consta briefly participated in the 2015 season.
By then he had upgraded to a Mitsubishi Evo IX, with which he won the Mountains of the Moon rally in Fort Portal as one of his final active exploits.

Since then, Consta has made two previous attempts to revive his rallying career. However, his plans were derailed first by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused the National Rally Championship to be suspended for two years.
Subsequently, the Russia-Ukraine war disrupted Consta's comeback aspirations, with his car reportedly stranded in transit in the region during that period.
The news of Consta's imminent return has sparked excitement among his loyal fanbase, who have eagerly awaited the revival of his daredevil performances.
Known for his fearless approach and thrilling driving style, Consta has left an indelible mark on the Ugandan rallying scene and remains a beloved figure in the sport.
Pulse Sports understands that Consta’s competitive return will be during the fourth round of the National Rally Carlendar to be hosted by the Southern Motor Club in Masaka.
