Rumours circulated around last weekend’s Kenyan Rally Championship event at Nanyuki regarding the country's proposed WRC return.
They suggested that there is continued uncertainty about aspects of their proposed 2020 world championship Safari Rally.
This could explain the FIA’s long delay in releasing next year’s WRC calendar.
It seems there are two issues, firstly concerning the date.
It appears that the FIA wants the event in be held in middle to late July, at the height of the Safari season (from June through to September) when available accommodation is in short supply, and hotel and air fare prices are at their highest.
It also appears there is difficulty securing access to stages which the FIA advisers they would like included in the route.
The Nanyuki event, run on wildlife conservation land between Nanyuki and Isiolo, was led from start to finish by Carl Tundo’s Mitsubishi Evo X.
