By Bonnie Mugabe, 9 October 2008

Kigali — Afrika Risk an insurance brokerage company is in talks with the Rwanda Automobile Club (RAC) with a view of bankrolling the national rally calendar events.

In an interview with Times Sport recently the company's founder, Belgium born national rally navigator Jean Francois Desmare revealed that the brokers would lend a helping hand to Rwanda Automobile Club (RAC) and they are willing to sponsor the national rally championships.

Desmare who navigates national rally driver Marc Verdin in a Subaru Impreza came to Rwanda rally limelight during the 2005 NRC.
