Kalle Rovanpera has extended his SafariRallyKenya lead over Elfyn Evans in a Toyota 1-2-3-4, as the WRC points leader closed in on a memorable victory Here's the latest ⬇️
Rovanpera notched up a fifth stage win of the event to increase a 40.3s overnight lead into a 56.6s advantage over team-mate Evans.
M-Sport’s Craig Breen was the top Ford runner in sixth ahead of privateer Jourdan Serderidis and Hyundai’s Oliver Solberg. Sebastien Loeb rounded out the top 10 behind WRC2 leader Kajetan Kajetanowicz. The tricky soft fesh-fesh sand once again provided a challenge on the day’s first test and it ultimately contributed to organisers cancelling Stage 14.
The red flag was quickly upgraded to a cancellation. Seven cars had completed the stage, including Loeb who described the test as “a really bad stage” with “zero” visibility. Solberg dropped to eighth overall behind Breen and Rally 1 privateer Serderidis. Evans dropped a further nine seconds to Rovanpera on the final stage of the loop but admitted he was in preservation mode.
