The #msport Poland-built #fiestarally3 finished the #safarirally #kenya round of the 2021 FIA World #rally Championship (WRC) on Sunday, braving some of the most brutal conditions ever seen in modern rallying.
Homologated three months ago, the #msport Poland #fiestarally3 is a cost-effective four-wheel drive competition car built for the FIA's new Rally3 category, providing the perfect introduction to four-wheel drive rallying.
The renowned #safarirally #kenya made its return to the #wrc calendar this year after an almost 20-year absence, bringing back legendary views of Africa's jaw-dropping and wildlife-filled landscapes. The scenery wasn't all that returned with Safari Rally's 2021 #event, the #rally itself was still just as brutal and physically taxing on both car and driver as when it last ran, providing the Fiesta Rally3's toughest test to date.
Deep sand as fine as powder, strewn with rally-ending rocks and aggressively undulating narrow roads awaited 53 cars on this year's #safarirally with over half of the field not making it to the finish. The #fiestarally3 underlined its fundamental build strength and reliability, making it to the finish of the Kenyan classic in 16th overall.
Reliability and strength weren't the only key characteristics highlighted by the toughest stages in #wrc so far this year, the performance of the EcoBoost-powered #fiestarally3 was demonstrated by the capable hands of Kenyan driver Jeremy Wahome. He navigated Kenya's harsh stages to consistently deliver top-20 stage times, taking on experienced locals in Rally2 cars while solidly beating Group N cars in the timesheets to eventually take the ceremonial finish in 16th Overall.
