Toyota to deploy suspension update at WRC Safari Rally Kenya
Toyota has dominated the Safari Rally in Kenya, winning the last three editions of the gruelling WRC event. Their cars showcased speed and reliability with a 1-2-3-4 lock out in 2022 and 2023, earning them back-to-back Rally1 constructors’ titles. Despite their success, Toyota continues to push for improvement by introducing a suspension update designed to enhance performance and reliability for the upcoming race in Kenya. To adapt to anticipated wetter conditions following a change in FIA regulations, Toyota is considering fitting snorkel devices to their cars. Team principal Jari-Matti Latvala believes that in the rainy and muddy conditions of this year’s event, the smartest driver, not necessarily the fastest, will emerge victorious. Toyota drivers, including Kalle Rovanpera, are gearing up for the challenge as they face tough competition from Hyundai in the Safari Rally.
