Kalle Rovanpera made significant progress towards securing his second Safari Rally Kenya victory by steering clear of trouble on Saturday’s second leg, while his WRC rivals faced difficulties. The fluctuating conditions made it one of the most eventful days of the 2024 FIA World Rally Championship season, with Rovanpera stretching his lead to an impressive 2m8.9s. Despite dominating the stages the previous day, Rovanpera took a more conservative approach near Lake Elmenteita on Saturday. His Toyota teammates Elfyn Evans and Takamoto Katsuta encountered setbacks, opening the door for Katsuta to reclaim the runner-up spot. Rovanpera leads with 18 points, with Katsuta in second earning 15 points under the new points system.
