As Uganda’s motorsport scene continues to expand with fresh talent and rising passion, December is poised to deliver three major motorsport experiences each unique in purpose, audience, and energy, yet united by a common goal: elevating the spirit of speed and automotive culture in the country.
This year’s Mosac Autocross 6 & Enduro challenge, scheduled for 6th December in Kitigoma–Jinja, arrives at a critical time for Uganda’s next generation of rally drivers. Designed by FMU as an accessible entry point into the motorsport fraternity, the event offers aspiring drivers a chance to test their instincts, discipline, and technical skill in a controlled competitive environment.
What sets this autocross apart is its strong educational and developmental angle, top drivers will be there to inspire. With support from International University of East Africa (IUEA), the IUEA Racing Team, and Across the Nile Resort, young drivers will not only compete but also learn from car handling fundamentals to the professional ethos expected in high-level rallying.
In a sport where experience is often the biggest barrier to entry, events like Mosac Autocross serve as open doors. The IUEA Racing Team has become especially pivotal in this space, consistently supporting new talent and fresh blood entering the rally scene. Their role in identifying and nurturing upcoming drivers has strengthened Uganda’s grassroots motorsport foundation, making autocross an essential stepping stone for competitors seeking growth.
Among the icons inspiring these fresh talents is Hassan Alwi, Edson Mugyereza, Timothy Gawaya, Walter Kibande and many more a well-known figure in the racing community. Hassan Alwi widely recognized for his long-running devotion to Subaru performance machines, Alwi now competes in a Ford Fiesta Proto, unmistakable for the Subaru-powered heart beating under its hood. With a reputation built on precision, speed, and an unmistakable fearlessness on the track, Alwi’s influence on the development of Uganda’s young racers is unmistakable. His backing of these events through the IUEA Racing Team reinforces his commitment to nurturing and energizing the motorsport pipeline.
If Mosac Autocross is where new competitors begin their journey, the first edition of Super Car Fest 256 is where car passion goes full throttle. Taking place on 14th December at the IUEA Sports Ground in Kansanga, this festival stands as one of the most anticipated automotive showcases of the year.
Organized by TT Drags and Drift, Auto Show, and Street Racers Uganda, and powered by the partnership of IUEA, the IUEA Racing Team, and Across the Nile Resort- Jinja, Super Car Fest 256 represents a vibrant intersection of lifestyle, engineering, racing culture, and community. Unlike traditional competitions that focus purely on performance, Super Car Fest brings together multiple layers of automotive expression design, power, sound, craftsmanship, and street culture. As the first edition, it sets the tone for a new annual tradition. The festival is expected to draw some of the country’s top street racers, car collectors, and lifestyle enthusiasts. From turbocharged builds and track-tuned beasts to exotic machines rarely seen on Ugandan roads, the event promises an atmosphere defined by energy, creativity, and raw horsepower.
Super Car Fest 256 is more than a car meet; it’s a social experience. The music, the builds, the crowd, and the action all combine into a celebration of modern Ugandan speed culture. For motorsport lovers, it’s where conversations turn into collaborations, friendships form around shared passion, and the country’s automotive identity continues to evolve.
And while many names will make the day unforgettable, the involvement of the IUEA Racing Team once again stands out. With Hassan Alwi at the forefront the driver whose presence always energizes a track, the fest gains an added layer of star power and professional legitimacy. Whether he is testing machinery or engaging fans, Alwi symbolizes the heartbeat of Uganda’s racing culture: fast, fearless, and consistently raising the bar.
