Safari Rally: Championship Points

Safari Rally Kenya 98 Official Site: http://www.kenyaweb.com/safarirally/

Welcome to the third round of the World Rally Championship. The Safari Rally is to be held from Saturday 28th Feb to Monday 2nd March and will cover a total of 1231.94 competitive kms - 3 times longer than any other WRC event. The conditions in Kenya recently will ensure that this is possibly one of the roughest and wettest Safari rallies in recent memory.

Also, for the first time, a contingent for the newly introduced T1 class 4WDs will be entered. These are the same cars that competed in the Paris Dakar.

Below are the current Championship points following the International Rally of Sweden (Rd 2 WRC).
