Sammi Pajari of the Toyota Gazoo Racing team led his team mates in complete dominance of Day 2 action at the WRC Safari Rally in Naivasha as Oliver Solberg maintained a slender lead heading into Saturday action.<\/p>\n
Pajari, navigated by Marko Salminen, won 4 of the 7 stages on card in day 2 competition on Friday after the Camp Moran 2 stage was cancelled due to the deteriorated condition of the roads caused by heavy downpour.<\/p>\n
The Finish claimed victories in Kengen Geothermal 1 and 2, Kedong 1 and Mzabibu 2, with Sebastien Ogier winning the other three stages: Loldia 1 and 2 and Kedong 2.<\/p>\n
Friday\u2019s result saw Solberg\u2019s lead cut to only 1 second ahead of Ogier as the action headed into day 3 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried my best. It was really slippery again,\u201d Solberg said. \u201cWe are back to zero now with Seb, so we will see what he does. I have had a fight with him before this year, and I\u2019m leading 1-0\u2026 we will go again tomorrow.\u201d said Solberg\n<\/p>\n
Solberg still leads after day two with 1:33:50.2, followed by Ogier and last year\u2019s champion Elfyn Evans and Pajari in 2nd and 3rd positions, respectively.<\/p>\n
Karan Patel in a Skoda Fabia car competing in WRC 2 is the best-placed Kenyan, moving up to 14th, while Aakif Virani is placed 18th.<\/p>\n
\nThe action resumed on Saturday with a total of 122.72 km to be covered through six stages of Soysambu, Elementaita and Sleeping for the morning loop before repeating the stages in the evening session.<\/p>\n
