Indeed. The 5 day RAC sorted the men from the boys.

An example of one of the greatest battles in rallying history, Audi vs Lancia, 1983. Mikkola vs Rohl.

Gosh, had missed this news yesterday, very sad. A great rally driver and I loved watching the RAC rally in those days.

RIP - Part of my childhood.

Also the reason why my first car was a Ford Escort
(unfortunately not the Mexico RS1800 Escort he drove, but an ex reps Escort 1100 with 100K on the clock)
