| "I'd like a bit more power especially to pull up the hills in the second section. In the first section I felt I was being too cautious". First time on Safari, in fact first drive in Africa for Steven, so caution is probably a good thing, especially at this stage and especially since the 260Z has run without fault so far. | ||||||

| Unfortunately co-driver, Mike Stuart had turned over two pages of the road book in the first section and they got lost. They turned round and passed another car so they turned again only to find the other car stopped with a puncture. But they were able to confirm that this was the right road. They also had the front suspension break on that first section - compression strut broke away from main body. On the third section they think they have broken a bar, which helps to retain the differential and rear axle. | ||||||

| "We had a rear differential cross member come loose towards the end of the second section and that slowed us a bit". The suspension on the 260Z was proving troublesome and Perez was last seen negotiating with the service crew of Rocca to try and acquire his complete spare set. | ||||||

| Last night the Datsun 260Z was reset on the original Riega suspension and going away from the start this morning they softened up the damper settings. The front end now seems about right and during the rest day the crew will concentrate on the rear end, probably using some of the suspension from Stefano Rocca's car. "We had no problems with the car", said Perez. "But we had to nurse the car a bit because of the suspension". | ||||||
