[WRC] Safari Rally Kenya 2023 (22-25 June 2023)

Hopefully this rally can become a bit more interesting tomorrow with choas caused by the rough roads and hopefully some heavy showers/rain.

When a sport is so dead that you rely on the forces of nature and bad luck to make things interesting..... Lol

Today has been really flat all round.

In terms of the rally competition just more Toyota domination and Neuville and Tanak already virtually out of it.

And the WRC+ coverage has been 90% onboards mostly just looking down a track, with little heli-camera or stage-side action. Also no views of the fans or the big wildlife to create the special Safari atmosphere. And unfortunately the weather has been completely cloudy and boring, not showing the countryside well at all.

Very disappointing as a rally and a spectacle.

Spoke to Aaron Johnston who confirmed the tubes on the roof is to take dust into the back rather than their faces.

I think you should come and visit, you won’t regret it at all.

no wonder from solberg, why he still run so fast with huge big gap from wrc2 guys,now game over

Wise of him not chosing Safari as pointscorer. Only building experience.
Most likely the worst event for cars to breakdown. I think puncture right front started it...

Disagree, because this i Safari, well known for its muddy and bad roads/stages. Has nothing to do with how the sport i dead or not.

You know about "Carlsson på taket" or Carlsson on the roof? He drove 3-cyl Saab Sport in Safari back in early 60´s. At one spot he got totally stuck in a mud hole with his fwd Saab.
he asked the native spectators to roll his car over on the roof so he could get out of the mudhole.

Think that is what some of the guys longing for tomorrow...

I was wondering how long will Solberg last.... almost made it at the end of the day...

It's worrying.
In Sweden it looked like he finally learned to drive a little bit slower for more reliability, then Croatia was back to issues every second stage, Portugal was good, but Sardinia was even more backwards and now he goes on.

Do you mean this?

Wait a minute, I always thought the "Carlsson on the roof" thing came because he was a bit of a lunatic behind the wheel and crashed/rolled his car quite often?
