Carl “Flash” Tundo and his partner Tim Jessop were the masters of the “flash floods” on the second leg of the Safari Rally yesterday after extending their lead by 22 seconds.

Tundo who is seeking to equal Shekhar Mehta’s record of five wins maintained his dogged campaign in search of 2018 honours after clocking a cumulative time of 1:36.52.3 hours in the wet, muddy and slippery conditions which are already proving quite unforgiving to the top local crews.
