Countdown to: Croatia Rally

A super difficult Safari done ✅ 🇰🇪

Tough weekend, retiring yesterday wasn’t ideal but these things happen and today we tried what we could but didn’t have the best run through the first stage this morning which put us out of the running for strong super Sunday points.
Nevertheless, we managed to grab a few points, and now we can look forward to Croatia!

Big congratulations to Taka and Aaron on their first win, thoroughly deserved! Enjoy the celebrations 🥳🍾

Unfortunately, we picked up a double puncture at the end of the middle stage of the loop. As we started the next stage, it became obvious that the damage caused by the rocks was more than we expected.
At the first braking of the last stage, the rear suspension gave way and that’s where it ended — there was no chance to fix it. ❌

I think we can be happy to have had a long run of events without retirements, but of course this comes as a huge disappointment.

We’ll be back at it tomorrow and ready to fight for some points 💪🏼

Friday survived ✅ Saturday next 🦁

We got through the day without too many dramas. A few niggles here and there — a bent rim on Kedong and then it wasn’t a great final stage.
Not overly happy with the day, but there’s a long and tough way to go and we’re still in touch.

We’ll give our best tomorrow, it’s normally a tough Saturday loop of stages in Safari, and we’ll be ready for the challenge 💪🏼

Kedong, a Safari classic ✈️🌳

Morning loop done ✅
It went ok — we had a small brake issue in the first one this morning and didn’t have the best feeling, so we struggled a bit. After that it got better: a decent run through Geothermal and a clean run through Kedong.
Still here with no major issues — we’ll see what the afternoon brings.

A proper Safari start 🌧️

The first stage of the loop was incredible out there — huge amounts of water and mud. On top of that we had issues with the washer and wipers, so visibility was a real challenge for a lot of the stage. 🤿
A tough start, and there’s a long way to go. 💪🏼

#EE33 #SafariRallyKenya #ToyotaGAZOORacing

Stages look… very Safari 😅🦁

Recce’s shown plenty of mud and water, with some rough sections too, so it’s going to be a tough weekend 💦
Here it’s all about finding the balance: pushing when you can, looking after the car, and surviving the conditions!

As always, we have had an amazing welcome here in Kenya, looking forward to getting started tomorrow! 🇰🇪

That winning feeling 🍾🏆

Very happy with how the weekend turned out in the end, feels great to take a win in Sweden for the third time! A huge thanks to the team @tgr_wrc we prepared well ahead of the event and the car felt good from the start to finish.
It was an amazing 1-2-3-4 finish, congratulations to the whole team for all their hard work and result 🙌🏼

It’s been a great start to the year, but of course next we have the challenge of Kenya!

Back to winning ways 🏆👊🏻

We lead the way after Saturday in Sweden 🇸🇪

Pretty happy with this morning, not so happy with the afternoon! We lost some ground to Taka and we ran out of tyres a little bit again this afternoon!

Tomorrow is another tough day, but we’ll give it our all 👊🏼

Saturday morning scenes in Sweden 😎❄️

A solid Friday in Sweden! 🇸🇪🙌🏼

Overall, it’s been a good day! It started well this morning in changeable conditions, then this afternoon was more difficult. We had to do some road sweeping which was expected, and we struggled with the tyres towards the end.
Tomorrow we will have a stronger road position, so we’ll try and make the most of that 👌🏼

#EE33 #RallySweden #ToyotaGAZOORacing

Full send in Sweden 🫡🇸🇪

Solid start, let’s see what this afternoon brings!
