Vehicle Centre under its Motul brand has pumped a total of K53, 000 towards the hosting of the final round National Rally Championship this weekend.

The event dubbed Motul Rally has attracted 19 drivers including South African Guy Boteril.

Lusaka Motor Sport Club (LMSC) chairman Michael Daka said during a press briefing in Lusaka yesterday that the total budget for the event is K108, 000 and the organisers have so far raised K103, 000.

“We are only short of a K5, 000 otherwise we are 95 percent done with the budget,” he said.
