Safari Rally Mud Changing by the Minute

Stage 21 Mud Bath claiming star drivers on the 2011 Safari Classic Rally

Currently tracking stage 21 on the rally’s Google Earth software. It is a nail biter: sixth place Grégoire de Mévius has just got moving again after being stopped for ages at what I am being told is a mud hole.

All our drivers bar one have made it through there, including Steve Funk who was just ten minutes behind Gregoire overall. The only exception is Steve Troman: if the GPS is to be believed. Steve looks to be picking his way along a side road just off the stage route.

Second place man Geoff Bell was another car who seemed stuck in the hole for a while. We think Björn’s lead may have increased as a result, but no way are we counting our chickens. This is such an incredible rally: possibly the most amazing thing we have ever done – win or no win.
