How did the big fat guy in the white suit ever fit in a rally car? BTW was the sponsor Dunlop?

I used to be 'in to' rallying a good while ago, but these days it looks rather like they got rid of the 'top flight' class and brought forward the 'support class' to be the 'main event'?

Also wish the WRC could be better financed and a better stage for manufacturers.

That was either sponsored by Michelin or edited by someone with a tyre fetish!

I've never seen so much coverage of people checking tyre pressures!

... See if you can spot the subtle tyre sponsor's message
Hark! It's significantly more subltle than the toe-curlingly crass, hard-sell series of 'great drives'-type vids that Autocar/PH/Haymarket made on behalf of Dunlop and foisted upon the readership rolleyes
