I accept that in this case the meaning is obvious so there's no real need, but the principle is the same.

Sorry ! In the future, only in english !

One question, Volvo in Motorsport !

Could You clarify one thing, please ?
Mainly in the 70's there was allways a national class or a Special class. Did they made all the route like the others ? Did they classified in the end or there was a special classification ?
I ask that because sometimes they are mixed in the overall classification, sometimes not ...

Please, could You clarify this situation ?
Thanks in advance

The National classes in Sweden had there own classification. But some classes was both National and International. And there were also a overall classification of all classes in the rally. In later years the National classes dont drive the entire Swedish Rally, only one day. Saturday for example, but i am not sure when they started doing that. Perhaps i can figure that out in the book about the rally.


Here are the Swedish National classes in the 1970´s.

1966
There were 4 classes.
SM in T. Group 1 and Group 2 cars.
SM in Rally. Group 1 and Group 2 cars.

1973
SM in Rally. Gr 1 and Gr 2.

1974
Standard: A class and Standard: B class
Class: Special. (Old Gr 2)

1982
Standard: B, Group A and Special.

1983
Gr A, International class. Standard: B and National class (National class is the former Gr 2 and class: Special)
In 1999 the Nationel class changes to Group H.

RAC 73 - Co-drivers
Malcolm Harvey-Ross is listed with Colin Newman as co-driver in the only entry list I have.
Both were from the same area and in the same car club. Car is listed as a 911 but I think he had a 240Z. I can confirm the hotel they stayed at in York and I know the name of one of the service crew but I can't absolutely confirm the co-driver!

RAC77
Of the remaining "Unknowns" listed, none seem to be on the finishers list but I don't have retirements list.
