And continuing with the thread.... :-) Easter, the heavy rains and the
rally gave the motor sport world " the world toughest rally". Motor
sport legends like Patrick Njiru, Ngunjiri, Joginder, Metha, Mikola,
Mouton, Kankkunen, Biason, Waldegard are just some names that many can
relate to in motor sports. The international teams loved Kenya, its
people and would come back each year. Who remembers the Safari Rally
or even the East African Safari Rally? We lost a great place in the
international motorsport arena..

I had a complete video back then someone has loaded a tiny portion of
it on youtube. Before you launch the video, you should know that the
driver is legend Ari Vatanen in an Group B Opel Manta in the Manx
Rally. His co driver is very skilled but lets out the famous words "
oh! Dear God "....... because Ari just clipped the rear end of the car
on the left side on that bridge almost going into the gates. Ari
brings the car back with a tiny opposite lock. He later has to drive
the entire stage on a damaged rim/tyre.
What makes the clip so unique is that Ari is pushing the car well over
200kph ( you can hear the engine over-rev in in 5th or 6th gear and
the engine is breathing very hard, those webbers are doing their thing
) and shows the level of control by a driver.
