Thanks. The big issue we had was that Minesh bought a load of tyres last year but missed most of the event, so he wanted to use the remaining ones this year. He had a call from the Clerk of the Course a week before the event who told him he didn’t have any eligible tyres so would have to be moved to the National event. But this was done over the phone and nothing on writing. It was only when I arrived in Kenya to find this situation that I told him the tyres WERE eligible as we we were non-priority. The CofC was having none of it and said he’d refer it to the stewards and see what they decide. At the end of recce we still hadn’t heard anything so I went directly to the stewards who hadn’t heard anything about it…. So I spoke to Timo and explained the situation and they had a stewards meeting and agreed to reinstate us.
Anyway, there’s no compound specified for non-priority, I think they were mostly K6A which is fairly soft and I would guess not really suited to warm Safaris…. We didn’t get any pressures but ran them at 31psi the whole time and they seemed to work ok. Only had one puncture on the event which was on the way into final parc ferme!!Last edited by J4MIE; 27th June 2022 at 15:34.

For all of those who say this is not a real safari coz it has "short" stages, just have in mind how the itinerery looked like in the "long stage" days:

having a service after every stage made a big difference

Plus a helicopter on standby.
I remember Juha Kankkuben giving an interview in Sardinia I think, asking about how its like driving on the wrong tyres - he said basically they made the right choice for every stage as they had service between each of them so had a massive choice.If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

Neuville 9 and Tänak 7 is a mystery to me, funny calculation from him to Ott while forgetting he lost bunch of time with the gearshift. I mean 7 is totally fair, but Neuville 9 surprises me
Ogier 9?Last edited by EstWRC; 27th June 2022 at 17:09.
