Background and Early Career Shameer Yusuf, a seasoned Kenyan codriver, has navigated the wild and rugged terrains of East Africa with precision and poise. As the ARC2 champion navigator for 2023, Shameer has earned a reputation as one of the best in the business, able to guide his drivers through the most treacherous rally stages with a calm demeanor and a knack for spotting the perfect line.
Though his calm voice on the intercom is like a lighthouse guiding ships through a storm, don’t let his composed exterior fool you. He’s known to crack a joke or two, keeping the rally spirit light even when the road gets rocky literally. From dramatic hairpins to heart-pounding jumps, Shameer is the voice you want in your ear when things get a little dicey.
2024 Pearl of Africa Uganda Rally For the 2024 Pearl of Africa Uganda Rally, Shameer is teaming up with Abas Sebunya, a Ugandan rally driver who’s based in the USA and is making his debut at the Pearl of Africa Rally. While this might be Abas’s first outing in Uganda’s biggest rally event, he’s got the benefit of Shameer’s extensive experience to guide him. With a Mitsubishi Evo X at their disposal, they’re looking to make a big impression in this year’s race.
A Winning Formula The dynamic between Shameer and Abas is one of rookie energy meeting seasoned expertise. With his years of experience, Shameer brings a cool head and an encyclopedic knowledge of rally navigation. Abas, on the other hand, brings fresh enthusiasm and a “no fear” attitude that makes them a formidable pair. Together, they’re like a fine-tuned machine capable of hitting top speed while cracking a smile, even if it’s through gritted teeth.
Get Ready for the Unexpected With Shameer Yusuf calling the shots and Abas Sebunya at the wheel, there’s no telling what might happen on the course. The one thing that’s certain is that they’re not here to just finish they’re here to make a statement. Expect some daring overtakes, a bit of dirt flying, and a lot of “did you see that?” moments.
So, fasten your seatbelts, because with Shameer and Abas in the Mitsubishi EvoX, the 2024 Pearl of Africa Uganda Rally is about to get a lot more interesting. Get ready for speed, skill, and a touch of humor as this dynamic duo takes on the toughest stages with a mix of experience, bravery, and a dash of mischief. It’s going to be a wild ride!
