Hydration tablets helped fuel Greensmith’s Safari WRC2 heroics
Gus Greensmith, the Toksport Skoda driver, fell ill with a stomach bug before the Safari Rally, kicking off his WRC2 campaign. Despite feeling drained of energy, Greensmith pushed through with the help of hydration tablets, resulting in a flawless run that secured him a class victory and a sixth-place overall finish. He led with a comfortable three-minute advantage by the end of Friday, managing his pace after main rival Oliver Solberg encountered punctures. Winning the rally by over a minute, Greensmith humorously stated, “I don’t know what I’m more proud of, not shitting myself on Friday or actually winning the rally.” His team praised his faultless performance, highlighting his strong rally control despite battling illness. Although still recovering, Greensmith is gearing up for the next WRC round in Croatia, aiming to continue his impressive start.
