Behind the scenes of the toughest Safari Rally era

Behind the scenes of the toughest Safari Rally era

Our chats with Derek Dauncey about Mitsubishi's Safari Rally heroics in recent weeks have given an incredible insight into just how tough the legendary Kenyan event was in the 1990s.

Settle in for a fascinating reminisce about those extraordinary days.
