Yes. In 1995, Toyota told me to go to Kenya and stay for five months. I flew there at the beginning of January and did a lot of testing. At the time, we did what we called ‘high-speed’ tests. On the Kenya roads, it was possible to recce everything in a Group A car - so a proper rally car!

I did the recce eight times. That means I did almost 24,000km at rally speed. But Kenya rally speed is a little bit slower than a sprint rally, because the car can not survive.
