Sébastien Ogier will participate in the 2023 Safari Rally

Sébastien Ogier (Toyota) va-t-il finalement dépasser le nombre d’apparitions qu’il s’était fixé en début d’année ? Alors qu’il s’apprête à disputer le rally from Sardinia (June 1-4), the eight-time world champion WRC will also be engaged in Naivasha for the 7th^e meeting of the season (June 21-25), the 5^e of the French in 2023 who has so far only missed Sweden and Portugal.

Judging that it is possible to play for victory in Kenya even without having a good position on the road, the Gapençais will be lined up by Toyota Gazoo Racing to score points. This will be the 3^e Ogier's participation in this event where he won in 2021 before finishing 4^e last year.

Tandis que Sébastien représentera Toyota avec Elfyn Evans et Kalle Rovanperä, Hyundai et M-Sport seront présents avec leur effectif habituel. Dani Sordo a été chosen to pilot the 3^e i20 Rally1 Hybrid and the Greek Jourdan Serderidis will allow us to see 3 Puma evolve.

As was to be expected, the WRC2 category will not be as plentiful as usual, but Kajetan Kajetanowicz, Grégoire Munster and Oliver Solberg will be aiming for big points during a rally which will offer 356,98 km timed divided into 19 special stages .
