For example, even this Pro-Safari article acknowledges that it will be held over a 'closed' course.
I think having a closed course is good news, I mean it was always a problem on the Safari that the locals, donkeys, chickens etc have been running all over the road, while the competitors were going with 200 km/h... I fear more that it would have the same, generic format every rally has in the calendar.
