African Rally Championship

SEASON 2019

African Rally Championship

With its vast, often merciless, playgrounds for crews and machines, the African Rally Championship (ARC) allows professional and amateur drivers to live their passion in the Sub-Saharan region. First held in 1981, the championship is now in its 39th season and features some legendary gravel events across seven African countries.

The 2019 season started in February and will reach its conclusion in October, visiting the Ivory Coast, South Africa, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda.

With eight titles to his name, Zambia’s Satwant Singh is the most decorated driver in the series’ history, while reigning champion Manvir Baryan from Kenya has won back-to-back titles since 2017.

Three titles are awarded in the championship:

  • FIA African Rally Championship for Drivers and Co-Drivers
  • FIA ARC Manufacturers Cup
  • FIA ARC Cup for Drivers and Co-Drivers using 2WD, normally aspirated cars of maximum 1600cc.

For detailed information about this championship, please refer to the specific Sporting Regulations, which can be found here.
