Kenya, in many ways, is the land of "pole pole", of taking it easy and doing things at the last minute. Let's run away when a lot of people, like in this period, are on holiday.
So the second edition of the Malindi 4x4 Raid event organized by the Malindi Motor Club, which was supposed to be held today with off-road vehicles, motorcycles and quads engaged on the fascinating routes of the hinterland of Malindi, was cancelled yesterday for the small number of subscribers, except to see this morning arrive fans and also phone calls from Mombasa and Kilifi of people who would have liked to take part in the event by signing up right now.
"Clearly this creates some more organizational problems - said the creator of the Malindi Raid 4x4, Sergio Peroni - but we would have gladly faced them if they had at least shown up or booked at least yesterday morning, when we then decided to suspend the event".
This event is only postponed and next time it will be promoted with the clear intention of making it clear that it is not possible to manage it the same day, but you need to know the number of participants in order to be better prepared.
"The organizing machine of this special event, which also gives prestige to our tourist destination - confirms the expert Peroni, for many years in the world of motor racing - was set in motion two months ago and many people were involved, we could not manage it at the very last minute and we preferred to postpone it".
The other main creators of the off-road event, Antonello Di Mauro from Kola Beach and Daniele Terzi from Villa Waridi, also agreed. We hope that the newborn Motor Club Malindi will receive more members and new members, so that we can continue with activities that can attract sponsors and fans to enlarge and give more visibility to this sport and the magical scenarios in which it takes place.
