PRESSRELEASE

Day six extras in East African Safari Classic!

Car No. 36 Shaheed Wissanji
"We have had a day without brakes. The master cylinder is failing and we have lost thirty minutes on the road trying to cure the problem in service. But we have completed all three competition sections and we are still here - and we are still in the rally."

Car No. 29 Aslam Khan
"The front suspension broke 12 km into the second section. We sent a guy out on a bike to try and get a spare but eventually we had to wait for the service car to come. It was a bit frustrating since we had the helicopter hovering overhead - my helicopter on loan for filming the rally - but no way of communicating with it or we could have had the spare part very quickly !"

Car No. 48 Ekya Shah
Prina Shah went to have an X-ray on her finger and it was confirmed that it was broken. But the husband and wife team decided that they would continue.

EXTRA! EXTRA! From Day seven at 12:30.
News from Saturday morning is that Stig Blomqvist and Ana Goni have broken their Escort´s transmission in the first Tanzanian section about 9km from the end and are stopped. Forty cars have so far emerged from the section and no sign of the Escort yet.

John Lloyd had double trouble in his Datsun 240Z with first a puncture and then a broken fan belt after hitting a fence, losing twenty minutes in total.

Waldegård still leads with his Escort and now has an increased gap to second place man, Frederic Dor in a Porsche 911. Gerard Marcy in another Porsche 911 is third and seems to be closing the gap to Dor. Geoff Fielding is now fourth with his Porsche 911 and after John Lloyd´s troubles, Steve Perez has taken fifth place with his Datsun 260Z.

Even before reaching the Tanzanian border at Taveta, there were problems for Josef Pointinger whose Ford Escort hit the back of Joginder Singh´s official vehicle in the dust and damaged both cars. And the service crew of car No. 19, Paul and Mary-Ellen Kane also fell foul of the bad visibility and the 4x4 carrying many of their Mustang´s spare parts slipped off the road.
