The Legendary Safari-Rally
Any hopes of re-instating Kenya back into WRC Calendar? Rumours are Brazil and South Africa have already expressed interests though 2014. The Safari-Rally was one of the toughest rally in the world. East African classic still reigns with an entry of old antique rally cars

No hopes in my opinion. For plenty of reasons. Safari is sure nice piece of history but nowadays this kind of competition fits only in marathon events.

I prefer the Safari when it was driven in a time control system, but the late WRC version could still do well in todays championship (especially under Todt´s rule). But no money no go.

The WRC without the Safari is like roast beef without Yorkshire pudding – not quite right....
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

The WRC isn't expensive enough yet! Let's add an event with 3x as much km's SS and road section, it's a huge cost to get the whole team and everything there too. Some extra parts need to be developed as well for this event only, but of course all manufacturers will agree with that, wouldn't they? You can't close the stages from normal traffic, but who cares about safety?
Safari Rally has been something incredible, but for me it just doesn't fit anymore in what our sport is today... It is not realistic anymore.
