Thanks
I will be co-driving in car no 41 so will see what I can report..... probably very rough Luckily I've done a few of the stages on previous Safari Rallies, and know the area quite well, so calming the nerves a bit...
Hopefully be an updated entry list soon. Raaji Bharij (#23) has had to withdraw as his Skoda seems to have missed the shipping connection so won't arrive in time
The organisers announced a National event a few days ago but I haven't heard any details about it.
My friend on the ground says the rains arrived late this year and it's still raining every day, so will be interesting to see what happens over the next week or so...If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

Route preview. The two new stages are driven on proper gravel roads so the nature of the rally changes a bit, especially with the most sinuous forest track stage Chui Lodge being removed.

Agree, I liked the look of the stage and always nice to have a bit of variety, not just from event to event but within events too.
I'll be staying at Chui Lodge so would've been perfect for day 1 recce to start a few hundred metres away But get that for recce day 2 at Oserian I guess
Organisers confirmed me today so just waiting for an amended entry list, shame I miss having my name in the program etc I fly out on Friday just before it all kicks off, think I am just about prepped for the rally but I better start packingLast edited by J4MIE; 16th June 2022 at 00:23.

I think Oserian is quite similar to Chui Lodge, just not as slow and twisty. But I like the variety that the two new stages bring for being run on roads as opposed to off-road tracks. In a way it's more like the old Safaris. You have a road but you still can't go flat out because there's potholes and dips.

Antti - great job as always. Only one remainder - shakedown in Safari is on Wednesday.

Great detail about the stages again Antii. A tiny suggestion I'd have for future (which you're obviously entitled to ignore), is to maybe include the exact stage length - either next to the stage names or after the full description of the stage.
I know you touch on the lengths of the stages and go into great detail about how a stage changes character at a certain point, or turns off onto a new piece of road at x km etc etc, but sometimes after reading a stage description I'm still left wanting to know the exact length

Yeah, would be a nice addition but I guess I always assume the reader has the full itinerary at hand through my rally-maps link or something else. Copying the lenghts would take some extra work from my limited time. Also, sometimes the stage lengths change slightly at the last minute so I don't want to supply false information. But thanks!
