1. Welcome

A warm welcome to the 2018 WRC Safari Rally Project ARC rally, one of the toughest rallies in the world.

This year’s Safari has taken a paradigm shift from the norm as the Kenya government has undertaken to support the event and build it up to an AFIA World Championship rally by 2020.

Besides financial guarantees, the government has set up the WRC Safari Rally Project headquarters at the iconic Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani Nairobi and formed an inter-ministerial Steering and Organising committees from five ministries to deliver a world class event.

Kenya is home to some of the world’s most legendary rally stages - the event is our opportunity to showcase Kenya’s unique geographical features, temperate weather, culture, heritage and its people to the rest of the world.

The Government’s support for the Rally also shows our continued commitment to motorsport which has been part of our heritage for the last seven decades.

I hope that spectators and competitors alike will have a fantastic time during the Safari as they sample our hospitality and unique counties.

Peter Kaberia

Prinicpal Secretary

Ministry of Sports and Heritage

4 52018 WRC Safari Rally

Message from the Chairman of the Organising Committee

On behalf of the Kenya motoring fraternity, I would like to welcome all local and international competitors to the 2018 Africa Rally

Championship Safari Rally from March 16 to 18.

This year’s event is different in many ways as it is coming on the back drop of a very engaging but fruitful season which spells hope and promise in the horizon not only for Kenya but Africa at large. For the last two years Kenya has been preparing the ground work to return the Safari Rally back to the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) fold by 2020.

We have been working closely with the FIA and the WRC Promoter who is the championship’s Media and Commercial rights holder to fast track this dream.

On February 27 this year we hosted the FIA President Jean Todt who opened the Safari Rally Headquarters which will be the nerve centre of our WRC campaign under the aegis of the Kenya Government-funded WRC Safari Rally Project.

At this juncture I would like to thank our government, Mr. Todt and our African brothers for their support in our initiative. As you will experience, this year’s Safari will be running under strict FIA and ARC rules and regulations. We shall adhere to this and requests co-operation from everybody involved. The route concept remains tough but offers smooth roads on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. We want drivers to enjoy as they test their driving skills. The itinerary is designed around WRC standards and so are many other aspects,

Finally I wish every stakeholder to feel welcome and enjoy our hospitality in this great show of man and machine.

Phineas Kimathi.

Requests from the above must be sent to the Media Director, using the form which can be downloaded from the media section, www.safarirally.co.ke.

Guidelines and Information for Accreditation Applications

Up to a maximum of three (3) representatives per organisation will be considered for accreditation by the Organising Committee. A separate application form should be submitted for each person to be accredited. A maximum of one (1) pass will be issued to websites (photo tabards are not issued to websites).

To be accredited, a publication must:

i) have a circulation size and quality that satisfies the criteria of the FIA ARC.

ii) be on sale to the public.

The FIA and ARC considers the media pass to be a working tool to be used only by bona fide members of the press. Publishers, marketing personnel, sub-editors, staff of the publication’s secretariat, etc. cannot be accredited as media.

Media passes can be allocated to general news, specialist, business and lifestyle consumer publications that do not intend to publish conventional rally reports but whose coverage is considered to be of promotional benefit to the sport. As a general rule, however, the FIA will not accredit publications less than one year old.

Accreditation for Press Photographers: The FIA / ARC provides 12 (twelve) photographer Tabards for Kenya-based Photographers. Priority will be given to national publications and agencies based on circulation, frequency and previous coverage of 2018 WRC Safari Rally Project. All photographers must attend the WRC Safari Rally Media Delegate’s special pre-event safety briefing (time tba) before being granted a tabard.

Once applications have been processed by WRC Safari Rally Project and approved, a letter or email confirming successful accreditation will be sent to the applicant(s). This letter must be produced when collecting passes at the event. No pass(es) can be collected without this confirmation.

Please note that tighter restrictions introduced for media accreditation in 2018 will remain in place for this year’s event.

9.2 Reconnaissance Procedures

A reconnaissance record card will be supplied which must be carried in the car for the duration of reconnaissance. This card will be stamped appropriately recording every run on each special stage. Failure to produce this card will result in refusal to participate in the reconnaissance.

Competitors will be issued with reconnaissance numbers that must be fixed to the front windscreen.
