M-Sport Ford heads to next week’s Safari Rally Kenya (24 – 27 June) chasing back-to-back FIA World Rally Championship wins in Africa – albeit separated by 19 years. The British squad won the 2002 Safari with Colin McRae on the event’s last championship appearance. “The event’s going to be very different from the last one,” said Millener, “but some of the roads are going to be the same, just as rough in places. OK, we had an electrical issue [on Greensmith’s car] in Sardinia, but we’re on that now and it won’t happen again. “I think if Gus and Adrien take the right approach and understand they’re not going there to push like hell for the win, with a reliable car I think a podium is achievable.”.
