Konza Technopolis was a beehive of activities as drivers and motorsport ethusiasts gathered for the “Race Wars” over the Easter weekend.
The two-day event was organized in partnership with Delta Motorsports Club and featured 40 high-performance racing cars competing across multiple categories.
The competition included rolling races and dig races held along a half-mile stretch within the technopolis. The format allowed drivers to test acceleration, speed, and control in a structured and controlled racing environment.
Participants competed across different classes, highlighting both vehicle performance and driver skill.
In the final results, Lexus Musa won the 1000cc bikers category, while Salman Mohamed took first place in the two-wheel drive category.
Jeremy Kithome emerged as the top driver in the open class category after two days of competition.
According to Delta Motorsports Club Chairperson Sunil Bhachu, the choice of venue aligned well with the technical and safety requirements of motorsport events.
He noted that the infrastructure at Konza Technopolis, including wide tarmac roads and a controlled setting, supported both competitive racing and event organization standards.
“The venue offers exceptionally smooth, wide tarmac stretches and a controlled, safe environment ideal for competitive racing, while simultaneously showcasing Konza Technopolis as a versatile, world-class destination beyond its tech reputation.”
He also stated that hosting the event at the smart city location contributed to broader visibility and potential economic activity in the surrounding area.
Konza Technopolis Chief Executive Officer, John Paul Okwiri, said the event reflects the broader vision of Konza as a mixed-use development.
He indicated that such activities demonstrate the city’s ability to accommodate not only technology-driven enterprises but also lifestyle and recreational events.
He added that integrating different sectors helps position the technopolis as a functional urban space.
The Race Wars event also reflects a growing trend in Kenya where motorsport is being combined with digital engagement and youth-focused experiences. It provided a platform for interaction between the automotive, creative, and technology sectors.
