On the two occasions that Italian Massimo 'Miki' Biasion won his Safari Rally titles in 1988 and 1989, one thing remains vivid in his memory — the distressing sight of a jumbo helplessly stuck in the mud. Biasion was competing in one of the Safari Rally editions when he saw an elephant struggling out of a muddy hole. "I have won two editions of the Safari Rally here but Kenya's wildlife and beautiful scenery have always made me want to return to Africa again and again," Biasion said. "We had to radio our service team and spent about 8 hours trying to help the elephant out of the mud," Biasion recalls wistfully. Biasion admits the rally, which runs until Sunday, makes him nostalgic about his heydays."
