Official Spectator Guide For The 2021 WRC Safari Rally
You will see and experience new measures in place that you may not be used to
such as the creation of the High-Density Area (HDA) where only those essential to
the safe running for the event are allowed, mandatory PCR and antigen tests for
entry into the HDA, lack of mingling of at the event even between groups at HDA.
There will be limited access for all personnel in this area including for Media and
once in HDA, one will not be allowed to freely come in and out at will. In fact, there
is even guidelines on how to behave at your hotel every evening and who with.
We need everyone on board making this event a success and bringing back the glory
of the Safari Rally. I have driven in three Safari Rally when it was part of the WRC
and I am there with you wanting it back and keeping it in Kenya.
Go to where the action is in the stages and be the ones sending the messages to
the world that we are safe.
See you all soon. Stay safe, wear a mask and keep your social distance.

Thursday 24 June
Kenyatta International Convention Centre – 11.00hrs press conference followed by
the Ceremonial Start at 12.46hrs.
The WRC Safari Rally returns to its more traditional start, in the heart of the capital
city, Nairobi.
After an absence of nearly 2 decades, WRC cars driven by the best in the world will
begin their 2021 WRC Safari Rally campaign in earnest with a side-by-side race on
the purpose built Super Special Stage at Kasarani from 14.08hrs
The Safari Rally was first held in 1953, as the East African Coronation Safari in Kenya,
Uganda and Tanganyika, as a celebration of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In
1960 it was renamed the East African Safari Rally and kept that name until 1974, when
it became the Kenya Safari Rally. Widely regarded as one of the most popular African
rallies, it's set to make a return to the World Rally Championship (WRC) in 2021 after
a 19-year hiatus.
The older version of the Safari Rally was notorious for being the most difficult rally in
the World championship. Some had said that winning this particular rally was the
equivalent of winning three other rallies. The arduous conditions, such as the
constantly changing weather and the very rough roads often made life very difficult for
team personnel.
Repairs were constantly having to be made to the cars, which added to the elapsed
time of the competitors. Frequently, all this work had to be done in intense heat and
humidity. The event adopted the special stage format in 1996. From that edition until
2002, it featured over 1000 km of timed stages, with stages well over 60 kilometers
long, unlike most rallies which had under 500 kilometers of total timed distance. The
event exited from the WRC calendar in 2003. Since 2003 the event has been part of
the FIA African Rally Championship, organised by the Kenyan ASN.
On the 27 September 2019, The Safari Rally was readmitted into the WRC
championship calendar starting with the 2020 rally between 16 and 19 July. This
unfortunately was not to be with the COVID 19 Pandemic which affected many events
across the world. The 2021 event will take place between 23-27 June, 2021

spectators are required for responsible behavior to secure their own safety
as they are mostly not protected with barriers as on racing circuits. I56!!56<;!
