The 1972 East African Safari Rally starts awash with mud and the challenging conditions leads to several early retirements. The gruelling event is eventually won by Hannu Mikkola and co-driver Gunnar Palm in a MKI Escort RS 1600.

I still remember my older cousins waking up at 4AM to wait for the cars; we all had the newspaper pullout with driver names, route, and times. This was more than just a rally it was a national experience. My favorite drivers were Joginder Singh and Bjorn Waldegaard

Were you from South Africa? I cant imagine the feeling of earing the cars just coming, then seconds after seeing them in all their mighty power and speed coming at you.

Yes, when Australia had a big manufacturing industry, developed after WW2 so as to be self reliant, And a corresponding export market of such products. Sadly destroyed after the 1960's by successive "progressive woke" governments.@@shulestuff
