The Safari Rally Kenya is the next event for the 2022 WRC season and this is the true test for the hybrid-powered Rally1 cars as they're tackling through the African wilderness by all means necessary.
The shakedown saw Kalle Rovanpera showcasing his potential but it was Sebastien Ogier who storm his way through an early lead in the opening stages. As the event progresses, Rovanpera stormed his way through the lead and kept on going until he was named the winner of this year's Safari Rally Kenya.

After Kenya, Rovanpera remains in the lead with 145 points while Thierry Neuville's in 2nd with 80 points while Ott Tanak's in 3rd with 62 points.
The next event will be the Rally Estonia from the 14th to the 17th of July, 2022.
