sian Pryce might be one of the
Ohottest talents in the UK right now
but the rapid Welshman faces a baptism of
epic proportions when he and fellow
Welsh codriver Dale Furniss make their
African debut on this years East African
Classic Safari Rally.
The pair, who recently won the first
closed road tarmac rally in Wales in a
Hyundai R5, will drive a third car under the
Minti Motorsport Team banner. The pair
will also be behind the wheel of the only
Ford Escort in the event…
Osian, who is a former Junior World
Rally Championship driver as well as a
“Below Zero” ice driving instructor, has (The pair are also the youngest competing team in the rally in 2019!)
been helping Minti Team principal Joey
Ghose prepare his stunning Nissan 240RS
for this years marathon rally and is a very
last minute addition to the entry list.
Although the likeable 26 year old has 12
years of rallying under his belt (he began
rallying in Latvia aged 14!), he will need a
few days to understand the unique nature
of the East African roads… but once he has
settled in, expect some impressive times!
In Welsh they say “Croeso”… in Swahili we
say “Karibu”!
