The all-lady Queens of the Dust crew of Pauline Sheghu and co-driver Linet Ayuko continued their charge at the Safari Rally Kenya after successfully clearing the opening stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Ayuko calling the pace notes and Pauline navigating dust, rocks, and punishing terrain, the crew says their mission remains clear — finish strong and secure a podium place come Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This rally is tough. Yesterday I drove at night, and the mixed conditions of wet tracks and dry patches posed a real test for us. Our focus, however, remains the same — to put this car on the podium. That is the dream, and we are giving it everything,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pauline has completed the shakedown and day one of the rally and now tackles day two, which sees crews navigate the Soysambu, Elementaita, and Sleeping Warrior stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The penultimate stretch takes crews through the Hell’s Gate section before the rally concludes with the awards ceremony at the same venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
