Summary
A 490-acre, FIA-grade motorsport facility with a 4.4 km main track and multiple track layouts. That is the idea behind Suguroi Motorcity, an automotive hub being developed in Kenya. In the final episode of Season 3, Kalasinga and Vanilla sit down with Motho Kimotho, one of the people behind the Suguroi Motorsports Arena, to talk about what it takes to bring this vision to life. They discuss how the project is designed as a full destination that includes leisure spaces, hospitality, and residential areas to support it over the long term. Kimotho also explains how Suguroi is working with the local community through training and outreach, with the goal of making automotive engineering and driving more accessible. For many Kenyans, motorsports has mostly been something to watch from a distance. If Suguroi succeeds, that could start to change.
