East African Safari Classic Rally

25th November - 3rd December 2007

LAST MINUTE ACTIVITY

It would appear that no matter how experienced you may be, even to the point of having been crowned World Rally Champion, a bit of match practice is deemed handy before a major event. This was never truer than for the Kenya Airways East African Safari Rally 2007.

Both Bjorn Waldegård and Stig Blomqvist, entered on this year's Safari in Historic Motorsport Ford Escort RS 1600s, have taken every opportunity to drive similar cars in the last months before the Safari kicks off in Mombasa on November 25th. The most recent appearance by Blomqvist was with his Safari co-driver, Ana Goni, on the Costa Brava Rally. Entered by David Sutton in the historic section in an Escort RS1800, they took a clear victory in their category, a feat that they will be hoping to repeat when they come to East Africa in a couple of weeks time. Also running on the event was Waldegård, renewing his acquaintance with Escorts thanks to a Group 2 Escort provided by ASM Motorsport.

On the same rally, Mark Solloway of Historic Rallysport ran an Escort RS1600 for one of his clients, Dewi Bowen, which was fitted with a new type of differential. So successful was the test - Bowen led Blomqvist after three stages only to lose time when his throttle spring broke - that Mark has acquired a lot more and will be taking them down to Mombasa to change them on the three Escorts that he is running on the Safari. His Australian crew, Keith and Mary-Ann Callinan are arriving in Kenya next week to get used to the climate and go on another kind of Safari before the motoring one starts. Alex Hack is flying down to Nairobi to meet his local co-driver, David Lawrence-Brown, and then they will drive the five hundred miles down to Mombasa so that crew and car can get fully used to one another.

The Costa Brava was a tarmac event and if there is one thing that is well known about the Kenya Airways East African Safari Rally 2007, it is that there is very little competitive motoring on tarmac - or anything resembling it. All the serious competition takes place on dirt, mud, sand and rock in various combinations, sometimes all together. Thus Geoff Fielding and Preston Ayres were probably a bit closer to getting match practice when they tackled the Bulldog Rally in mid Wales a couple of weeks ago in their Tuthill prepared Porsche 911. This was an event held on un-surfaced forest tracks and thus much more like some of the Safari route. As this was their actual rally car, they were content to ensure that it went reliably and did not need any bodywork repairs before Kenya Airways flies it down to Nairobi early next week.

Most of the crews are planning on being there early enough to drive their cars in Safari conditions by way of a shake down before the event. Some, like the Historic Rallysport entries, will want to see how their new bits of technology work. Also amongst that group is David Rayner, doing the rally with wife Sarah in a Ford Capri 2.6. They used the Capri on the Carrera Americana last year and it rather disappointed them by refusing to leave Argentina after a big end bearing failed. That has been fixed and the Capri has also benefited from being fitted with Proflex suspension units - "the same as Blomqvist used last year" - which the Rayners have yet to try in African conditions.

With the majority of the overseas cars now arriving daily in the port of Mombasa and the rally officials working flat out to get them and their spares all cleared of customs, the old feelings of Safari Fever are returning to Kenya. The Kenya Airways East African Safari Rally is beginning to take on the mantle of the old Safaris of the 1970s and 1980s. With fifty-nine entries, lots of well known and prestige names behind the wheel, and many of them supported by full service crews, the event is growing ever greater in status. As Richard Tuthill, a man who has no less than six Porsches to look after said "Our service effort this year supersedes anything done before by anyone on the Safari Classic rally. Lets hope it works as we have planned !" And so say all of us ...

Datsun 240Z & 260Z 14

that's what i'm talkin about!

[Z-point]

But they have to take it up against the Escorts!!! An armada of them…….:nervous:

The Mk 1 being driven by Bjorn Waldegard.

It costs > £100K.The engine puts out 252bhp.

Weights about 800KG.

Has Focus WRC suspension legs. The list is endless

Anyone get the feeling that FORD really want to get the crown from the Datsun’s

[e_racer1999]

yes, but who looks better when crossing the finish line? no matter who crosses the line first, the datsuns will always be the winners

Guuss: I think you'll find most 260's/240's entered cost a similar or even more amount to build and also have equivalent WRC suspension legs. Engine output will also be not far away from the Escorts. As for weight the Escorts may have the edge there.

AMERICAN ODYSSEY

Some people's itinerary to get to the Kenya Airways East African Safari Classic Rally looks to be almost as arduous as the rally itself. Tim Mammen, who was born in Kenya but currently lives and works in the USA, has set out from Boston to London last night and, all being well, should be on a direct flight to Nairobi today. There he will meet up with his Datsun 1600SSS and co-driver, Kishen Bhanderi and they will then drive down to the start in Mombasa, a distance of some 540 km (340 miles).

The Datsun is the same model that finished first and second on the 1970 East African Safari with Edgar Herrmann and Joginder Singh. Tim has driven both the last two Clasic Safaris in this car. In 2003, he finished thirteenth overall and won his class, but in 2005 the car gave a lot of problems and he was lucky to finish. On those two occasions, his co-driver was Jaspal Matharu and the team manager was Kishen Bhanderi, but for 2007 they have swapped roles.

The Datsun has been subjected to a major re-build and its engine has been prepared in Australia by Stewart Wilkins so that part of the car will have travelled even further than its driver before starting the rally. It is to be hoped that both engine and crew travel the whole length of the rally and return to Mombasa on December 3rd having experienced no more than the usual hardships of an East African Safari Classic.

True Veterans

Seen recently on the Tanzanite One Arusha Rally was the Datsun 260Z of Jayant Shah and Lofty Drews who were using it as an opportunity to try out the car prior to their participation in the Kenya Airways Safari Classic Rally in November. If Safari experience is a pre-requisite for success, these two gentlemen have it in large quantities. Between them they have done the original Safari Rally no less than thirty-six times, on four occasions together.

Throughout his rally career, Jayant Shah has remained faithful to Datsun. His first appearance on a Safari was in 1973 in a Datsun 1600SSS but it was not until 1978 at the wheel of a Datsun 160J that he finally got himself on the scoreboard with a ninth place overall. The following year he was twelfth, then eighth, then fifth and finally in 1983 driving one of the new Nissan 240RS he took his best result with a fourth place. He remained with a 240RS until Group B was cancelled at the end of 1986 by which time he had done the Acropolis Rally twice, finishing just out of the top ten on both occasions, and taken seventh place on the Argentina Rally. He then used a Nissan 200SX for three Safari rallies, two of them with Lofty, before dropping out of major rallying after retiring on the 1990 Safari.

Lofty Drews' rally career stretches back even further. He did his first Safari with Tony Fall in 1968 with a BMC 1800 prepared at the factory but entered by the local dealer, Benbros. When Fall moved to drive Lancia, Lofty followed and finished fifteenth with Fall in 1969 in a Lancia Fulvia that got there largely thanks to the mechanical ingenuity and endurance of its crew. In 1970, Lofty was promoted to accompany Sandro Munari and oversaw the preparation of the Fulvias at his own house outside Nairobi. They were leading when they crashed on the last night while a broken drive shaft robbed them of any chance the following year. With no Lancias in 1972, Lofty drove with Brian Culcheth in a works Triumph 2.5PI and finished thirteenth. In 1973, he accepted an offer from Shekhar Mehta and won outright with a Datsun 240Z. After that it was back for two years with Munari, taking third in a Fulvia in 1974 and second with a Stratos in 1975.

Rauno Aaltonen then took him on-board at Datsun for a six year period during which they finished second on the Safari three times before moving together to Opel for two near misses at winning with an Ascona 400 and then a second and fourth place with its successor, the Manta 400. A couple of rallies followed with Jayant Shah, including the trip to Argentina, and then two more rides for Opel in their front wheel drive Kadett which yielded a ninth place in 1987. At that point, the Drews family moved to their present base in Queensland, Australia. With the inauguration of the Kenya Airways Safari Classic in 2003, Lofty has found an excuse to return to East Africa - he was born in Tanzania - to renew his acquaintance with "proper rallying".

The Shah family is well represented on the Kenya Airways Safari Classic as, in addition to Jayant and Lofty in their 260Z, Jayant's daughter, Prina, and son-in-law, Ekya, are also competing. Interestingly, their chosen mount is not a Datsun - or a Lancia or an Opel - but a Colt Lancer GSR with a history of its own. It is the very car that Davinder Singh, Joginder's brother, drove on the Safari of 1974. That was the year that Joginder took Mitsubishi's

The Friday evening welcome party for competitors and officials was well attended. Amongst the speakers welcoming them to the Kenya Airways East African Safari Classic Rally 2007 were Surinder Thatthi, Event Director, and Titus Naikuni, CEO of Kenya Airways. The event patron, Joginder Singh, three times winner of the original East African Safari - in 1965, 1974 and 1976 - spoke on his feelings to see the classic event reviving the old traditions : "It is almost like the original Safari Rally and remains a very tough rally for man and machine". He was joined by Kipchoge "Kip" Keino, Kenya's father of long distance running and a double Olympic Gold medallist (1,500m at Mexico City in 1968 and 3,000m steeplechase at Munich in 1972), who expressed his affinity to the endurance aspect of a rally like the Safari Classic. The evening finished with the revelation that it was Titus Naikuni's birthday and, to the sound of music and dancing, a vast cake in the form of a Porsche 911 was carried in for him to cut and share with the competitors. Even the Ford Escort drivers had a piece, although they probably would like to devour Porsches in another sense.

The twin Escort Mexicos of Neil McGrigor and Jeremy Bennett (car nos 44 and 49) are supporting the "Alive and Kicking" charity that aims to bring sport to children throughout Africa. Thanks to their own contributions and those of family, friends and other competitors, they have already raised over three million Kenyan shillings (£25,000) and hope, with new support gathered during the Kenya Airways East African Safari Classic Rally to practically double that. They set off for the ceremonial start under the tusks on Moi avenue in Mombasa with both Escorts packed full of special "Alive and Kicking" footballs.

Dave Kedward and Crispin Sassoon have not spent tranquil days in the run up to the Safari Classic. Their Ford Escort RS1600 has been shedding cam belts and it was not until yesterday, after changing everything else on the front of the engine, that they discovered that the idler that keeps the belt wrapped firmly round the main pulleys was running out of true. A long session in a Mombasa workshop saw the idler shaft drilled and bushed and the engine is now running happily. But with two cam belts already damaged, they are anxiously awaiting the arrival of more spares of this usually reliable component from England.

Geoff Fielding confessed to having a personal contest with a local bacterium but is hoping to take solid food before the rally commences.

There were a few minor problems at scrutineering including the Triumph GT6 Mk2 of Quentin Mitchell and Russell Savage which did not have a complete fireproof bulkhead. It re-presented at scrutineering this morning and passed. This little sports car was first found covered in dust in an alley just off the Nairobi-Mombasa road last July. The preparation work on the car was finished last night and its first drive was from the workshop to scrutineering. It now appears a lot taller than its original state due to a substantial increase in its front ride height. The car has a few interesting modifications, including a hole in the bonnet to accommodate the throttle linkage pivot. Apparently the team were thinking of attaching a flag to the pivot so they would know when they are going flat out. The car will be passing near where it was first discovered when the rally starts proper tomorrow morning and heads up towards Nairobi.

Ben Muchemi and George Njoroge also have to ensure that the bulkhead in their Alfa Romeo Alfetta is fireproof to pass scrutineering after the ceremonial start whilst Jayant Shah and Lofty Drews had to properly secure the passenger seat of their 260Z. This is something which Mr Drews will probably be glad of later on in the rally, though some unkind fellow did say it had always been difficult to tie Lofty down.

Under the leadership of John Cooper, the scrutineers at the Kenya Airways East African Safari Classic Rally have managed to strike an excellent balance of meticulous application of the rules and attention to safety whilst also helping the competitors as much as possible to overcome any technical problems.

The drivers' briefing saw the introduction of some advances in the starting system from previous years. The "traffic light" system similar to that used on the World Rally Championship will be used at all competitive section starts. As with normal traffic lights, the competitor gets a red, then red and amber, then a countdown of the last five seconds with segments of the amber light disappearing, and finally a green light. At the end of competitive sections, dust precludes the use of light beams and often obscures manual signals such as flags. Thus the Safari Classic will use a manually operated button pressed once for each car that communicates directly with the timing machinery at the stop line. After an excellent demonstration of the new system by Mike Summerfield it seems likely that the only traffic lights providing problems may be those on the entry to Nairobi.

The organisers also utilised the briefing to emphasise the camaraderie that surrounds the event in terms of stopping and reporting incidents to the marshals. If they see an accident where the crew has not displayed their "OK" board to show that they are uninjured, they are requested to stop and investigate. With one doctor flying in the helicopter and two others on the event and ambulances handy, help should never be far away. This spirit of camaraderie was supported by the announcement of a "team award" in which teams of three to five cars can be entered based on manufacturer, club, nationality or simply friendship.

Keeping cool during the rally can often be difficult with temperatures in excess of body heat inside the cockpit, but the Ford Capri of David and Sarah Rayner should be OK as they still have the original air conditioning fitted. Mind you, they needed a bit of cooling down when they discovered that the starter motor had decided not to work. Fortunately it was only the spiral slide for the drive pinion that was sticking and once this was re-lubricated, all was well again.

A last minute hitch also arose in the Peugeot 504 Coupe of Hardev Singh Sira and Uwe Kurtzenberger which developed a clutch problem and now requires work before the rally starts tomorrow.

As the cars bunched up in front of the Whitesands Sarova Hotel for their police escorted run in to the ceremonial start, Frederic Dor was seen eyeing up Ian Duncan's Mustang which will start two minutes behind him on Monday morning. His concern ? He wondered if the American muscle car had sufficient ground clearance to pass over his Porsche 911.

Jurgen Bertl is a dyed-in-the-wool Safari fan and was here for the 2003 Safari Classic with a tiny Skoda and then in 2005 with a Porsche 911. The Porsche was sold to Iqbal Sagoo from the USA and Jurgen somehow found himself volunteering to co-drive Sagoo who is a Safari novice. Jurgen originally worked with Audi in the Quattro years and was largely responsible for the homologation of the various breeds of Group 4 and Group B Quattro. But those cars are, for the moment, too young to be admitted to the Safari Classic. He will have to wait an absolute minimum of another ten years for the cut-off date to float upwards sufficiently to embrace such Audis.

At the time of sending this release the cars are currently driving over the ramp for the ceremonial start under the tusks in Moi Avenue in Mombasa. Eight days of hard rallying lie ahead of them but it's clear that everyone is up for the challenge.

After the first three stages of the Kenya Airways East African Safari Classic Rally 2007, the established flyers are showing the way. Bjorn Waldegård of Sweden in a Ford Escort RS1600 leads Gerard Marcy from Belgium in a Porsche 911 by just over thirty seconds with Stig Blomqvist, also from Sweden and also in a Ford Escort RS1600, just over a minute behind the Porsche. All three leaders have had some slight mechanical problems mainly due to the extremely tough going on the second stage in the Taita Hills but these were restricted to bent or damaged components rather than broken ones

Fourth overall and best local driver is Ian Duncan in his formidable Ford Mustang who has kept the leading three well in sight and lies a minute and a half behind them. After that the gaps between the cars start to increase. Frederic Dor who hit something in the Taitas and broke his Porsche's steering rack was lucky to get out of the stage with only the loss of a few minutes and thus hung on to fifth place.

Datsuns are the most prolific cars on the Safari Classic and thus it is little wonder to find 240Z and 260Zs occupying the next four places. Best of these is the 240Z of John Rose, just over a minute behind Dor followed closely by Graham Alexander from Australia in a 260Z. Another Kenyan this one in a 260Z, Stefano Rocca, is eighth and Englishman, John Lloyd with Kenyan co-driver, Adrian Cavenagh, lies ninth in a 240Z. Rounding out the top ten is Safari novice, Geoff Fielding from England driving a Porsche 911.

All ten cars are covered by a mere twelve minutes which tends to suggest that as this tough rally moves into its second day and goes to longer stage in the Rift Valley, the final result could be very close. So far, the weather has been dry with no more than a handful of mud holes to enliven things and the forecast for the next few days is good.

Competitors checking into the service area at the Nairobi Safari Park were greeted by Eric Cecil, the man who practically invented the original Safari Rally, won it once and organised it many times. Eric has made the long journey up from his home in Australia to see the action and to attend the Gala Dinner on Sunday night.
