The Safari Rally is on the verge of regaining its lost world status after the famous event secured the 2019 International Automobile Federation (FIA) World Rally Championship candidacy.

Kenya, who was stripped of its WRC status by global body in 2002, could return to the competition if their candidacy event slated for March 2019 conforms to the conditions set by FIA.
