The reigning 2023 champions are Kenyans Karan Patel and Navigator Tauseef Khan.

Presently, the African rally championship events are held in Burundi, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda.

The event in the Ivory Coast was left off the 2024 calendar due to very low cross-border entry.

This is mostly due to the cost and the vast distances competitors have to travel to attend the event.

Logistical challenges are also adding a huge cost to participation.
