Safari Rally Kenya returns as the magical spot on the 2023 World Rally Championship calendar. Participants are set to tackle 355 competitive kilometres across various stages, with a mix of fast driving and strategic decisions required for success. The event kicks off with Shakedown, which drivers Kalle Rovanpera and his teammate Sebastien Ogier are tackling first. As the championship leaders, they have two podium finishes already under their belt and need to be prepared for a demanding weekend ahead. Rain in recent weeks has roughed some of the stages, with the top layer of dust being washed away to expose bedrock underneath. Competitors will also have to take extra caution when navigating through remote Shakedown stages, which offer their own challenges. Rally fans can follow all the action over the weekend as drivers take on the Safari Rally in search of victory.
