🗣 'It is proper Safari spec – in some places it is like driving on the moon' WRC star Ott Tanak has labelled Saturday’s six stages of the Safari Rally as a “disaster”, find out why 👇
World Rally Championship drivers are expecting a much tougher Safari Rally Kenya this weekend, with Ott Tanak describing some sections as like “driving on the moon.”Rougher gravel stages caused by the recent weather plus further heavy rain showers forecast this week have several drivers predicting that the 70th anniversary edition of the event will be one of the most difficult in recent memory.
“Generally saying I think Friday's stages will be quite nice, but Saturday will be a disaster and Sunday is a bit mixed," Tanak told Motorsport.com. “It is proper Safari spec and I would say more than we have seen in the last couple of years. “There are stones and rocks and things in places that are quite difficult to understand where they have come from. For sure, if it is raining we will have some deep mud holes as well.
“It seems some parts are quite good but many parts after the rain are even more rough, a lot of gravel and sand has been washed away,” Rovanpera said.
