The dust is still settling after Elfyn Evans made history on Sunday, March 24, 2025, becoming the FIRST British driver in 23 years to claim the legendary WRC Safari Rally crown in Kenya!
And he didn’t just win – he owned it, storming through the Wolf Power Stage at Hell’s Gate for an extra five points to seal the deal in the most dominant way possible!
Elfyn Evans, powered by Scott Martin, wrapped up his victory with an iron grip on the race, keeping his Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 steady and unshaken across the punishing African savannah.
With four stage wins and nerves of steel, he never cracked under pressure, as the brutal rally claimed the likes of Kalle Rovanpera.
The Welshman’s victory isn’t just personal; it’s a legacy. He joins the ranks of the greats, as the first Brit to conquer the Safari since the legendary Collin McRae in 2002.
The Safari’s unpredictable wildness didn’t stand a chance against Evans’ focus and grit.
Behind him, Estonia’s Ott Tänak and reigning champion Thierry Neuville fought for the scraps, but no one could catch Evans’ steady hand and relentless pace.
Tanak, who led for a while, hit trouble and fell back, while Neuville stormed from eighth to take the final podium spot.
And just when you think it’s over… BOOM – a British double! Gus Greensmith capitalized on Solberg’s misfortunes to bag the WRC2 title, making it a day to remember for the Brits in Kenya.
The Safari Rally may be brutal, but Evans showed that nothing can stop him—no matter how fierce the dust, how savage the terrain, or how many legends have come before him.
This is his moment. This is his victory. And the roar of the Safari just got louder.
