	SAFARI RALLY V
		In 1962, when we sponsored a team and won the Safari outright, the cost to the company was over £12,000, plus a considerable loss of workshop time and trade due to a preoccupation with the organisation of service controls, etc., which incidentally also inconvenienced a great many of our customers.
		The Safari myth that no European-based driver could win the event was still unbroken, and was to remain so until Timo Makinen broke it for once and all in 1974, driving a Ford Escort.

		That meant that the rally was shorter than before but not that it was any easier.

	Farewell to the Safari rally - Rally - Automotive Forums .com- A Message Board for Every Make and Model
		One the one hamd, the rally was a true test of machinery (and drivers as well), on the other hand - seemed quite boring to me. As in too long.
		IMO it's a shame to see it go as it seemed to be the last real test of endurance for the cars and drivers, even though the 2002 season saw it restructured into just another 3-day sprint event.
		Apparently Carlos Sainz was glad to see it go on safety grounds, but a large number of drivers are expressing their regrets at seeing one of the last 'historic' events go.
