Kigali: The Rwanda Mountain Gorilla Rally 2020 which was scheduled for May 15-17th will be postponed to a later date due to Covid-19 crisis
“We regret to inform rally drivers, sponsors, partners and fans that Rwanda Mountain Gorilla Rally 2020 which was scheduled for May 15-17th will be postponed to a later date,” the statement reads in part from Rwanda Automobile Club (RAC).
