The World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally in Kenya faced an interruption when organizers announced the cancellation of stage SS3 Camp Moran 2, originally planned as the first stage of Day Two. This decision was taken after heavy rains rendered the route unsuitable for competition. The WRC's statement indicated that the event would continue with SS4, scheduled to begin at 09:11 local time, as the adverse weather conditions persisted.

Competitors were already dealing with challenging weather during the initial day of the rally, experiencing wet and slippery conditions that tested their driving skills extensively. Among the competitors, French driver Sebastien Ogier expressed relief at his performance, managing to finish third despite the difficult conditions. The cancellation highlights the unpredictable nature of rally racing and the impact of environmental factors on such events.

The Safari Rally is known for its demanding terrains and can be significantly affected by weather conditions. The cancellation of SS3 underscores the organizers' commitment to the safety of participants while also maintaining the integrity of the competition, as they aim to adapt the schedule in response to the ongoing climatic challenges.
