Seb Ogier's inclusion makes a Toyota 1-2-3-4-5 appear a real probability, not just a possibility. With the kind of pace shown by Toyota on the opening rounds this year, I could as well place my pickems now.
Just as well Esapekka Lappi will drive the third Hyundai. He has gone well previously on the Safari; even if the end results don't reveal much. Gus Greensmith must be the overwhelming favourite in Rally2, though Robert Virves will be interesting to watch on his maiden trip to Kenya.

Yap! First Safari appearance for him, too. And I hadn't realised Greensmith is in a Yaris. Surprise there.

I don't get it either. He was/is one their best drivers, have so much success with their cars and it's the place he should be. He feels comfortable in Skoda.
