The Tuthill Porsche Safari Film

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

As we come up to the 12-month countdown before the 2023 event, we thought it timed perfectly with releasing our full-length film from this year.
We documented our drivers more closely to get an understanding of the experience from their perspective; with some drama thrown in for good measure.
After the event being postponed from November 2021 to February 2022 it was great to finally welcome competitors who had never tackled Kenya before, and some completely new to rallying, which made the dynamic between customer and crew quite special.
The final results left Patrik Sandell in 2nd place with five other cars finishing in the top 10 and a further four in the top 20. An absolutely fantastic result to see so many cars and drivers complete the rally relatively unscathed.
Despite Tuthill Porsche not getting the 1-2-3 podium finish we'd hoped for, the driving experience is just second-to-none and can't be found at any other event in the world!
With thanks to Petroleum&Co for filming and Oak Lane for editing this film for us, as well as thanks to the event organisers and marshals for making the event happen.

    As a missionary kid born and raised in Tanzania by parents from Finland..I followed the East African Safari rally when it passed by our doorstep and was very proud when Hannu Mikkola was the first overseas driver to win the event. At the age of 6 years I was asked what I wanted to become as grown up...and the statement was : A rally driver in Africa..of course..wearing t- shirt with the EAS logo and a Datsun 240 Z on. When I got older I followed the rally every stage listening to shortwave radio. After finalizing mechanic trade school and national service in Finland I returned to TZ for my first job : Truckdriver in Africa..😊. The challenges was quite equal..without the speed of course... Now many years later watching KZread and still following the events going on today I envy those having the chance and opportunities ( money )to rally in Africa. Having been on African roads since day 1 in my life...and still travel them occasionally..there is no place on earth where I feel more at home than on the African roads.❤

    This is a movie I never thought I needed. I remember following the action live and also on social media....its amazing to see the stories behind every photo or short clip uploaded. As a big Ken block fan, it's sad to know he won't compete again on our rally but am at peace knowing he got a taste of Africa. I hope to see the porches again this year! Hopefully this time I will get out of the office to see it for myself! Incredible work guys! 👏

    Not to take away to the other drivers - but it got me emotional whenever I saw Ken.. and his impact on Tuthill Junior, so typical that he found a way into his heart immediately. His nice and calm demeanor will be missed. Great job on the team filming and capturing the event. Hats off to the swedish guys, looked like real professional driving.
