Nassib Sesanga, popularly known in motorsport circles as Nasib Pro, is a rally driver whose journey into the sport has been shaped by curiosity, persistence, and a deep-rooted passion for motorsport , a proud member of the Southern Motor Club, one of Uganda’s active rallying clubs.
Born in Entebbe, Nasib is the son of the late Mohammed Nsimbi and Lukia Nassazi. Before rallying became a central part of his life, he was an avid cricket fan. His exposure to motorsport came through family connections, as his late father worked with veteran rally driver Mzee Wyclif Bukenya, who competed in events around Kazzi. Although his father was not keen on his children getting involved in rallying, frequent stories about the sport sparked Nasib’s interest.
As a student, Nasib would often walk to Kazzi to watch rally cars in action. Witnessing the speed, sound, and spectacle of rallying left a lasting impression on him and gradually turned his curiosity into a clear ambition.
In 2011, Nasib took a major step by purchasing a Toyota Celica ST185 for UGX 8 million. He used the car as a daily driver for several years before eventually converting it into a full rally car. Over the years, the car has undergone multiple engine changes, but the original shell has remained in use for more than 15 years, reflecting Nasib’s commitment to consistency and long-term development.
Nasib made his competitive debut in 2022 at a sprint event held at Festino Cite, navigated by Mungufeni Phinias. While results were modest, completing the event and earning a medal marked an important milestone in his rally career.
Building on that experience, he competed in the 2023 Autocross Championship, which he successfully completed. In 2024, he progressed to the CRC class, completing the season in 2025 with a commendable 5th place overall finish. The result highlighted the value of discipline, steady improvement, and effective car management.
Looking ahead to the 2026 season, Nasib plans to continue campaigning his Toyota Celica pickup. He is also in discussions withPeter Brown Jr regarding a full season in the 2WD class, following his promotion from CRC.
A lifelong Toyota enthusiast, Nasib names the Toyota Yaris as his dream rally car, citing its affordability and competitive potential. He believes that manageable budgets and reliable machinery are key to sustained participation in the sport.
On the state of Ugandan motorsport, Nasib acknowledges the increasing competitiveness brought by newer and more powerful cars. While this may limit outright competitiveness for some drivers, he remains committed to staying involved for both competition and enjoyment. He also recognizes the rising talent in the sport, including Kevin Bebeto, Ahmed Katete, and Walter Kibande, among others.
Nasib credits his rally journey to strong support from Musa Kanakulya Masaka Rally Team, Mawogola Pharmacy, Njovu Estate Developers, MD Motorspares, Dr. Maseruka, fellow driver Walter Kibande, and above all, his mother, whose support has been instrumental in sustaining his rally ambitions.
From his early days watching rallies in Kazzi to competing on the national stage, Southern Motor Club member Nasib Procontinues to represent the spirit of grassroots rallying through passion, patience, and perseverance.
