[WRC] Safari Rally Kenya 2026

[deephouse]

Well nothing much different as first two events. Toyota battling themselves. Hyundai again completely nowhere. This year I think everyone lost motivation, and probably will much more fans leave as things will not be exciting anymore. As someone said also 10+ hours a day to watch all this is too much for hard core fans. And if those doesn't bother anymore who will. I don't know what could be done about this, but maybe the step back could be a solution? I don't know. Cancel all live and bring back roadside cameras, few stages completely staged and radio back?

Also I think Hankook tyres does proves event by event, that it's complete disaster. I thought Pirellis was bad, but this is total garbage. Please someone tell me, why they made new rubber even softer if there was complains about punctures. Isn't soft more prone to puncture?

Pajari this year is flying. Like completely new person. I think he could be in a mix for podium at the end of the year and more or less for a win at least one event.

A softer compound doesn't necessarily translate to being more fragile.

Good reaction from Solberg after asking about Evans's time
Whaat?! Only 3 seconds faster with that attack.. pfff

Unlucky Seb witha rock in the driving line and couldn't avoid it.. nothing about Hankook

It was a good reality check for Solberg about the level in rally1

That was like a handgrande.

I know there’s still this year and ‘27 togo but surely Hankook shouldn’t stay beyond, I’m sorry, I hope Pirelli for crying out loud if not Michelin come back.

Flailing rubber made short work of the bodywork. Interesting to see that live and quite supreme failure from Hankook.

I said this before and I’ll say it again, seeing these rally cars covered in mud, makes me miss Wales Rally GB immensely.
