As we revealed to you a week ago, the presence of Sébastien Ogier au prochain Safari Rally au Kenya (22-25 juin) a été confirmé via la liste officielle des engagés. L’octuple champion du monde français fera partie d’un plateau de 10 Rally1 en Afrique, avec notamment la présence de Dani Sordo dans la 3e Hyundai ainsi que le retour de Jourdain Serderidis sur la M-Sport Ford privée. Takamoto Katsuta sera présent à bord de la 4e Toyota, mais ne sera pas éligible pour inscrire des points pour son équipe.
Unlike Portugal, a small field of 33 crews will be there in the Naivasha region. On one of the most difficult rallies on the calendar, with the famous “fesh-fesh”, this soft sand that is very tricky on the desert roads of Kenya, 14 Rally2s will also be present (including 11 eligible for the WRC2 championship). Oliver Solberg will contest the Safari Rally but has not registered to be eligible for points in Africa, unlike Kajetan Kajetanowicz and Grégoire Munster.
Finally, the field will be completed by 5 WRC3s and four national competitors. The Safari Rally will offer 356,98 timed kilometers divided into 19 special stages.
