    Interesting, based on the recce video it seemed like a wide, smooth and easy stage.

    But do we know when the recce vid was filmed? Some rain between?

    Interesting to see the locals preparing differently to factory teams for the lWRC return to Safari Rally. From what the Assistant Clark of the Course told us this week it may not be as ‘easy,’ as some anticipate..

    Yes, seems already a bit rockier on the new recce video from last week. Original videos were from April

    But the locals run there more than once per year and I guess sometimes also during rainy season.

    Didn't know they posted new vids, thanks for the heads-up.

    On SS2/5 they cut the grass on the parts where you barely could see any track before, now it's much more open and quite different stage.

    I am afraid Nicky Grist is right. Route is very short and the recce videos show it rather soft. Maybe FIA should examine some change in the distance limits for certain rallies, like Safari and Acropolis. A rally championship without some truly endurance events is lacking a certain aspect of the sport.

    Acropolis couldn’t even make it to the minimum of 300 km this year…

    You can't make the rallies longer by just increasing the limit, the whole structure must support the longer format. More tyres, more service visits, more driving days, more days of recce...equals more expenses. Who pays for that? Who wants that other than a small group of old farts who crave for nostalgy? The average spectator who watches the two live stages on TV or goes to spectate one stage on his domestic rally? The drivers for example have said rallies could be already shorter than they are now.
