A cracking list to choose from. I got into the sport around the time that Roger Albert Clark was dominating things but as I worked in a Triumph garage, Clock Garage on Milnshaw Lane, my support went with Tony Pond. Mikkola was always good to watch, always so smooth and tidy weras when Ari came through everybody stepped back and held their breath.
Waldegard is certainly one of the best ever. He didn't win much but then again he wasn't always in the best car but he drove such a selection of cars, Porsche, Stratos, Escort, Audi, Toyota whatever he was in he always gave his best. We met him last august when we did the Eifel Historic Rally in Germany. I was co-driving Accrington lad Gary Gee is his ex works Lotus Sunbeam whilst Bjorn was in the Celica Turbo that won the Ivory Coast Rally and as ever, he drove flat out and the German crowds loved it.
Mind you, we beat him on 4 stages!!!!
My vote goes to Blomqvist though. To see him in a Quattro was fantastic and 3rd overall on the '96 Rac in a Skoda Felicia!!! Magic
