[WRC] Safari Rally Kenya 2021

My very short prediction this time

Ogier wins by big margin and is the only one not to hit any trouble

All the rest will hit trouble (punctures, technical, mechanical, rocks on the line etc)

I'm slightly hoping Tanak will win for my pickems. I can't see Adamo settling for purely survival after losing two straight events to failures while at the top.

However, you might be right. If there's somebody who knows how to nurse a car (and be fast while doing it), its Ogier.

I say a herd of buffalos will wait on the edge of the road for Ogier to pass and then get in the way for all other drivers

Jokes aside, I'm bummed out because Hyundai's mistakes, lack of pace and reliability is already depriving us from what could be a great battle for the title. I really don't see Neuville nor Tanak be in contention this year. But let's see how unpredictable Safari can be.

Well Tanak actually won Turkey 2018 (even though he was only 4th fastest car) which is maybe the most similar rally in recent history.

But there Toyota went in expecting they won't be able to compete on speed and picked setup accordingly (stiffer springs according to post event interviews).

Is Tanak/Hyundai ready to take it easy now after last 2 rallies? Ogier likely is, since he leading WRC after all.

Maybe far too early to say, but there's rain forecasted for the weekend, 40% to 70%. Surely would make things interesting!
