Time to dispell lots of myths, all in one hit. Next time someone tells you front wheel drive is boring, show then this. Our Ice Driver Ford Focus sometimes gets overlooked, but this shows you what front wheel drive is all about.
Also, we’re big believers in the fact that if you can drive, you can drive. Not difference between rally drivers and race drivers, if you’ve got it, good driving will show through. Nor should age be any impediment, never ever stop driving and learning new techniques and polishing your skills.
And to prove all of the above the points, this superb clip of Rangotti in a Renault Clio Cup car on You Tube is superb. We’ve just worked out the he was around sixty years old when this was shot….
So next time everyone’s praising Loeb (rightly so, because he’s good too…) remember that he’s not the first fast French Feller

Exciting. Pretty lax crowd control on some of those corners.
The driving style reminds one of Eric Carlson for Saab in the ’60s. Thanks for the memories.
