Elfyn Evans stretched his lead in the FIA World Rally Championships standings following his first Safari Rally win.
Apart from Super Stage 1 at Kasarani on Thursday where he was beaten by Ott Tanak, Evans was on top of the race throughout the weekend, eventually finishing over a minute ahead of second placed Ott Tanak.
The Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 driver, co-driven by Scott Martin, beat Hyundai rival Tänak by 1 min 9.9 seconds to secure his second win of the season.
In doing so, he opened up the largest championship lead ever recorded after three rounds of a WRC campaign.
Evans arrived in Kenya riding a wave of momentum following victory in Sweden and a runner-up finish at Rallye Monte-Carlo.
Now, with a commanding 36-point advantage at the top of the drivers’ standings, the Welshman has carved out clear daylight between himself and his title rivals after the third of 14 rounds.
The first two rallies of the season were held in Monte Carlo and Sweden. The WRC next moves to Spain on 24-27 April.
