RR7814B EAST AFRICAN SAFARI RALLY 1978

(3 Apr 1978) RR7814B EAST AFRICAN SAFARI RALLY 1978

For 26 years, motoring enthusiasts in East Africa have
hosted one of the classic events in the motor sporting
calendar - the Safari Rally. In 1978, they really got
their money's worth! It was the roughest, toughest safari
they can remember. Of 68 starters, only 15 crews survived
after floodwaters washed away vital tracks, and shortcuts
were lost in a sea of mud. But there was a fairy-tale finish
- the winner being Jean-Pierre Nicolas, the French outsider
who had already pulled off a brilliant victory in the Monte
Carlo Rally.
