“We’re off to a strong start this season and are eager to face the unique challenges of the Safari Rally, which promises to be an adventure unlike any other rally,” Neuville said.
Elfyn Evans, noted for his cool approach, highlighted the importance of preparation, stating, “We aim to strike the right balance between being well-prepared and staying relaxed.”
The Safari Rally Kenya, known for its rigorous course and demanding conditions, is set to continue its legacy as one of the most challenging events in the rally world. With the Service Park already established, the stage is set for an unforgettable racing experience.
As the third round of the 2024 World Rally Championships, following the Rallye Monte and Rally Sweden, the Safari Rally Kenya is not just a test of skill but a testament to the enduring spirit of motorsports.
