Timothy Kinoti, driver for Arkadios Motorsport, is set for a strong start in the Kenya National Rally Championship (KNRC) opening round at Stoni Athi Grille. The team has completed significant upgrades on their Toyota RunX, aiming for a clean finish on the faster Machakos stages.

• Timothy Kinoti and co-driver Qui Mungai are competing in the upgraded Toyota RunX.
• The team experienced delays in spare parts sourcing due to global supply chain disruptions linked to the Iran conflict.
• Kinoti's primary objective is a clean finish to remain competitive in future rounds, rather than outright victory.
