Despite breaking his shocks and losing brakes in Kedong', Kenya's Carl Tundo is determined to make a podium finish at this year's World Rally Championships (WRC) Safari Rally.
Tundo said the predicament he got at Kedong on Friday had made him lose a couple of minutes resulting in him losing the lead after the first flag-off.
He, however, said it had made him stronger.
However, since he didn't drop out, Tundo said "I'm determined to ensure we finish at a respectable position after the predicament in Kedong and possibly at the podium."
Tundo in the company of long time co driver Tim Jessop are driving a Ford Fiesta.
He said he had also suffered two punctures in the second stage of the rally at Kedong but resolved to continue with the rally, which has the last stages on Sunday.
World champion Kalle Rovanpera is still at the lead.
When asked to explain what Kenyans didn't know about him, Tundo jokingly said "I'm left handed".
