I would prefer them to throw away the contrived reverse order messing around and just run day 1 championship order then straight rally order after that.

why ? so you could see 2 days of cruising and tactics ?

I cannot believe that Kenya could possibly come back into the WRC.

It would be fantastic!

While I also think it would be great for the WRC to have the Safari Rally back in due to its famous historical link and because it will add a visit to another continent to the WORLD Rally Championship, we have to remember that any event will not be like Safari Rallies of the past. For example, even this Pro-Safari article acknowledges that it will be held over a 'closed' course.

I think having a closed course is good news, I mean it was always a problem on the Safari that the locals, donkeys, chickens etc have been running all over the road, while the competitors were going with 200 km/h... I fear more that it would have the same, generic format every rally has in the calendar.
