A propos de cet article

"For nearly 20 years they had been saying that no European could ever win the world's toughest annual rally, the East African Safari. Safari Fever is the dramatic story of how that myth was finally laid to rest by Hannu Mikkola and Gunnar Palm, driving a Ford Escort. Nick Brittan's behind-the-scenes account of a remarkable Ford team effort has the excitement and tension of a top-selling novel, yet this is a story based on fact, not fiction. The achievements, the setbacks, the physical and mental toll, and the personal relationships which develop over several days of rallying on a knife-edge, all are portrayed in colourful and gripping detail. The reader becomes an invited guest in each of the competing cars, in the spotter plane overhead, and at the many control points along the route, an eye-witness to the making of rallying history.John Davenport, one of the world's top navigators and best known rally writers, contributes the second part of the book, which is aimed at the serious rally enthusiast. He traces the history of the Safari from 1953, explaining its growth from a Kenyan national event into the foremost international rally. His review provides an ideal backcloth to Nick Brittan's story of the 1972 Safari, and his comprehensive results tables are of great reference value to the rally student."
