If you thought Sunday was going to be your usual slow day, plot twist — the engines were loud, the competition was real, and the vibes were full throttle at the very first Lubowa Ignition Tournament!
Hosted by Adele and powered by Talent Africa Group, this karting tournament on June 1, 2025, turned the usually calm Lubowa air into something out of a Fast & Furious spinoff.
Racers tore up the track in four categories, each more intense than the last.
In the Junior Category, young speed demon Joseph snatched first place like a seasoned pro. Faheem Garcha and Kavan Garcha weren’t far behind — the Garcha bros came in hot, securing second and third respectively.
Then came the Female Category, and let’s just say… the ladies did not come to play. Doris said “catch me if you can” and flew into first place. Eyra and Anella claimed second and third, serving speed and elegance in equal measure.
The Pro Category was a no-joke. Henk came out on top, probably still dusting his helmet. Yosemite took second and Beberto zipped into third, giving us high-speed drama.
But wait — the real tea was in the Celebrity Race. Yep, this is where things got juicy. Famous faces like Sammy Wetala, Max Noir, Big Trill, and Aly Allibhai (yes, the CEO of Talent Africa himself!) hit the track. And guess who showed them all flames? Sammy Wetala.
Man pulled a full Lewis Hamilton and left them eating fumes. Aly slid into second place (we see you, boss man), while Big Trill came in third — probably still catching his breath.
Emil Kwame Ampofo, the Director at Lubowa Karting, couldn’t hide his excitement. “We were captivated by the drama on track at our inaugural Ignition tournament,” he said. “The competitors and spectators truly made it a day to remember.” And honestly? He’s not lying.
Even Aly Allibhai chimed in with some wholesome energy: “This event not only showcased incredible talent but also strengthened our community’s spirit.” Love to hear it.
Big love to the sponsors who made this adrenaline-filled madness happen — City Tyres, Formula 1 Association – Uganda, and of course, Talent Africa Group.
