Having been absent from the sport since his imprisonment last year, Lwakataka is determined to make a resounding statement as he prepares to participate in the third round of the National Rally Championship in Hoima.

Ponsiano Lwakataka has promised to return to rallying with a bang following his release from prison and subsequent grant of bail.

Having been absent from the sport since his imprisonment last year, Lwakataka is determined to make a resounding statement as he prepares to participate in the third round of the National Rally Championship in Hoima.

With unwavering support from his fans and a burning desire to prove himself, Lwakataka's return promises an exhilarating spectacle for motorsport enthusiasts.

Expressing his gratitude for the unwavering support he received during his challenging time, Lwakataka acknowledged his fans and well-wishers.

"I thank all my fans and well-wishers for the support both financial and moral because this has been a really trying time for me," Lwakataka stated.

Following his arrest in January 2019 on charges of malicious damage to property and criminal trespass, his legal case experienced delays due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

However, upon the resumption of court proceedings in 2022, Lwakataka missed a court appearance, resulting in an arrest order.

After spending four months behind bars, he was found guilty but subsequently appealed the sentence and successfully secured bail, allowing him to resume his rally career.

Determined to reclaim his position at the top, he confidently declared, "I am now back and confirm to you that we shall definitely be competing in the Hoima rally because I have a lot to prove."

"You can count the entry confirmed for the rally. I am raring and ready to bring the competition to the guys and put on a show for everyone," Lwakataka boldly proclaimed.

His words fuel anticipation for an exhilarating display of his dare-devil speed, and determination as he aims to reclaim his position among the rally elite.

According to sources, Lwakataka’s fans have already collected over four million shillings to help ease his return to the sport and help with preparing his Subaru Impreza N12B for action.

Lwakataka's impending return to rallying has ignited a wave of excitement and anticipation within the motorsport community.

With the Hoima Rally serving as the stage for his comeback, fans and competitors eagerly await the thrill and spectacle that Lwakataka is known for.

As he vows to bring the competition to his rivals and put on a show, the rallying world holds its breath in anticipation of witnessing the triumphant return of a two-time National Rally Champion.
