It meant the Wahome had to rejoin the rally under Super Rally rules but was able to drive cleanly through a brutal event, that saw all WRC3 competitors forced to retire at least once, to rise to the lead on Saturday. “I’m proud and I’m happy I made the history,” said Maxine Wahome when asked about the breakthrough moment.
