1974 World Rally Championship season . It took place betweenApril 11 andApril 15 1974 . The Safari Rally didn't use special stages at this time to decide a winner. Instead all of the route was competitive - with the driver with the lowest accumulation of penalty time between time controls being declared the winner [cite web| title = juwra.com/About timing | work = Jonkka's World Rally Archive | url = http://www.juwra.com/about_timing.html | accessdate = 2008-05-15] .The rally was won by local driver, and Safari specialistJoginder Singh . Singh beat off competition from WRC regulars such asBjörn Waldegård andSandro Munari to secure his first WRC victory. The Safari often saw unheralded cars on the winners ramp and this year was no exception - the Mitsubishi Colt Lancer scored no more points throughout the rest of the season.Fiat held on to their lead in the championship for manufacturers through picking up one point for tenth place.Results
