Among the list of large number of World Rallies, the Safari Rally in Kenya is famous become especially serious. Scorching temperatures, rough landscapes alongside flooded roadways recast into dirt clouds by the burning sun, all serve to hinder presence. Although the distance of battle is smaller as time passes, the rate of the race is becoming faster along with the surface has remained just like unforgiving.

The champions in 1997, the 555 Subaru Rally Team, using the Impreza WRC, try to defy chances once again in the 1998 Safari Rally. Sporting a roof-mounted snorkel for driving in hefty rainfall or higher overwhelmed area, the Impreza can constantly provide environment to its motor. Additionally, an "animal guard" had been applied to the leading of vehicle. Because title implies, it protects the radiator from damage in not likely event of striking an animal. Tall power projector lights, or "wing lights" were built straight into the side mirrors.
