Properly impressive, and as you say definite legend status!

Properly impressive, and as you say definite legend > status! Actually it isn't as impressive as it sounds. Firstly it was third in class, not third in the event. Secondly, it was a high altitude event and even the non-turbo J-WRC cars were within 5% of the WRC cars. Definitely wasn't WRC cars as the gearboxes alone cost $400,000 however thats what the story implied he had beaten. All kudos to him but its been blown out of all proportion by people with no understanding of the sport. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

So why wouldn't they help here?
