By taking a dominant victory on this weekends Mountain Gorilla Rally in Rwanda Conrad Rautenbach has extended his lead of the FIA African Rally Championship to 9 points as the series enters the second half of the 2007 season.
Conrad, who had already won the previous two rounds of the championship, the Safari Rally and the Pearl of Africa, experienced a faultless rally to eventually take victory on the two day event by over 5 and a half minutes in his Jardine, Lloyd, Thompson supported Subaru Impreza.
"What a great event. It was near perfect, apart from a puncture when I slid wide on Saturday. The rally was really well organised and the stages were brilliant to drive so I had a lot of fun this weekend! I was trying some new dampers and once we had adjusted them the car worked really well."
Conrad will now fly back to Europe to prepare for the next round of the Junior Rally Championship, the Rally Sardinia, in 2 weeks time. The young Zimbabwean always goes well on this tough event and scored a podium on the 2006 running.
