I know it's little off-topic, in-fact I don't underestimate Makinen's achievements, quite the opposite, perhaps there is only one certain forum member that does and we know who he is. I personally don't think the Japanese are "that stupid" to give him credit, quite the opposite. I'll give a look at that book, seems interesting.
A little on-topic - Yaris looks remarkably boring during the rally, but still really fast. It kind of reminds me of Makinen's performances in 90's. Coincidence?!?
