The graduate of the Abdul Sidi Rally Academy, cited mechanical problems for his failure to finish events though he missed the Safari Rally for personal reasons.
“It has been a tedious and expensive venture trying to get the car back on to the road. I damaged the engine and gearbox in one event while other events encountered damaged parts which were relatively cheaper,” Bengi told Nation Sport.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo10 driver added: “I will try and finish the Meru Rally to revive my big ambitions. It is my wish and dream.”
