Takamoto Katsuta opened up a Safari Rally Kenya lead of more than a minute ahead of the final day after emerging from a brutal Saturday that ended with organisers cancelling the final stage.
Katsuta, searching for a maiden World Rally win, survived the toughest day of the season to date with a 1m25.5s lead over Hyundai’s Adrien Fourmaux after navigating treacherous muddy conditions. Katsuta vaulted to the lead of the rally when drama struck Toyota team-mates Oliver Solberg, Sébastien Ogier, Elfyn Evans and Sami Pajari during the morning loop.
