Kenya – SS14: Special canceled after a red flag caused by Solberg

La dernière journée du Safari Rally commence difficilement pour Oliver Solberg. Le Suédois est resté bloqué dans le sable du « fech-fech » au bout de 2 kilomètres dans l’ES14. Le pilote Hyundai n’a pas pu repartir tout de suite, ce qui a provoqué un drapeau rouge. Sébastien Ogier and Takamoto Katsuta, who started just behind Solberg, were hampered by the immobilized i20.

The race commissioners finally made the decision to cancel the 14th special, out of concern for fairness and safety. The son of the 2003 world champion was able to leave a few minutes later, after changing his air filter.

There is therefore no change in the general classification, Kalle Rovanperä is still in the lead ahead of Evans and Katsuta.
