RE: Pic of the Week: Waldegard and the 911

The old master is leading the field of 50 or so cars.

He was 20 seconds faster than everyone else through the sections of foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro.

He is 68 years old.

Was watching some YouTube videos of old Safari Rallies and most crews didn't seem to wear helmets, the nearest was a pair of Kenyan Sikhs who had turbans to keep them safe.

Funny enough I was chatting to a woman from Kenya a couple of months ago and I told her that when I heard East Africa mention I always thought of Joginder Singh. I turned out that a couple of her uncles had competed against him.

Photo does look a little staged from the looks on the co-drivers face and the way the pair are looking straight out at the camera instead of in the expected direction of travel.

Nice shot though

M.

I think they are looking at the camera because that's they way they are supposed to be going. The dust trail on on the right was their entry into a left 90 turn towards the camera which they overshot and are correcting for. Still a nice pic!

Thanks for making a good picture rather dull with pointless opinions. Well done!

No need to be rude Mr. Wheelman.

Because the roads were called sections rather than stages there was (then) no requirement to wear helmets.
