Carl ‘Flash’ Tundo driving his Mitsubishi Evo9 won the 33^rd edition of the Guru Nanak Rally to make it 6 wins in the 2012 KCB Kenya National Rally Championship (KNRC) series.

Navigated by his sister Natasha ‘Tash’ Di Cangio, he posted a course time of 1.38.10 to win his third Guru Nanak Rally after that in 2009 and 2010. Natasha made history by becoming the first woman in close to 30 years to win a round of the KNRC series.

Azar Anwar with co-driver Pastor Julius Ngige finished third in the rally and third overall in the national championship. 

Rally Legend Ian Duncan who has won the rally a record 11 times pulled out after his Nissan Pick Up developed a clutch problem.
