In the ever-evolving world of motorsport, legends are not just born—they are built. And sometimes, they roar back louder, faster, and stronger. This is the triumphant return of Hassan Alwi Jr, a name that echoes in Ugandan motorsport circles with both reverence and excitement. After a period of sabbatical due to professional commitments, Alwi Jr is back behind the wheel—bolder than ever—ready to set the rally world on fire under the IUEA Rally Team banner.
Backed by the International University of East Africa (IUEA)—a chartered institution located in Kansanga known not only for academic excellence but also for building champions in and out of classrooms—Alwi Jr’s return marks a new era. IUEA, with its robust academic structure and three main intakes in January, May, and August, is now synonymous with performance—on campus and on the track.
Once known for taming the iconic Subaru Impreza N14, Hassan Alwi Jr now unleashes a monster with a twist: the Ford Fiesta Proto. But don’t be fooled by the badge—under the hood breathes the heart of a Subaru. Some call it the “Subaru Fiesta,” others the “Ford Subaru,” but one thing is certain: it’s built for speed and glory.
Unveiled at a thrilling press conference hosted at Across the Nile Resort a luxurious gem under his management—the new rally beast was introduced to the motorsport fraternity in full flair.
Hassan Alwi Jr at the unveiling of his new car, “stated that, the beast was built by Eskorim and engineered by none other than Finnish rally legend Yari Ketoma. This Ford Proto isn’t just a car; it’s a statement. He added that, rallying is about fun, fair competition, fans and family. So, my fellow competitors, If you’ve got a big foot and a bigger heart, you’re home.”
Every rally driver needs a voice of calm in the chaos. Enter Musa Nsubuga, a seasoned senior co-driver who will take the navigation seat next to Alwi Jr in the upcoming Bugerere Stabex EMC Rally, slated for 10th to 12th July 2025. Covering the diverse terrains of Jinja and Kayunga, this rally promises intense competition.
Together, Alwi Jr and Nsubuga are a force to be reckoned with—a fusion of raw driving talent and tactical precision.
With the International University of East Africa standing tall as one of the major sponsors of the Bugerere Stabex EMC Rally 2025, the IUEA Rally Team isn’t just showing up—they’re making a statement. The 2.46km IUEA Super Special Stage? Expect nothing short of fireworks. “This isn’t just about Hassan Alwi Jr. “It’s about the University, students, Alumni, the fans, the future. It’s about shouting ‘IUEA!’ at the end of the day with pride and power.”
From empowering the next generation of engineers and innovators to supporting sporting excellence, IUEA is proving that education and high-octane motorsport can thrive side by side.
So, mark your calendars. Come July, the dust will rise, the engines will roar, and the IUEA Rally Team will be charging through the tracks of Jinja and Kayunga like never before. With Hassan Alwi Jr behind the wheel, a powerhouse car built by legends, and the heart of a lion, this is more than a comeback—it’s a revolution.
