Lehtinen has played a key role under the Toyota team since the Japanese manufacturer's WRC return in 2017. After competing and working with Toyota, Lehtinen has also been a consultant with the Rally Finland.

"The appointment of the two officials is pegged on their experience and role in the WRC blue chip events - GB Welsh Rally and Rally Finland and envisaged to help Kenya deliver a world class event. The two gentlemen are now part of the WRC Safari Rally Project to ensure Kenya fulfills its mandate of returning to the WRC in 2020," said the Project's CEO Phineas Kimathi.

Kimathi said the two experts will work alongside officials of the event's Organizing Committee in a tripartite agreement between the FIA President Jean Todt, WRC Promoter and the WRC Safari Rally Project. Todt has been instrumental and very supportive of Kenya's return to the WRC.

They will also inspect the draft itinerary in Naivasha area and also tour Kajiado in a tight schedule which concludes on Sunday evening.

The Safari rally will be held from July 4 to 7. Enditem
