Rally History (part III)

[Kaps]

I think we should welcome a great name from WRC history to the forums! Greetings, Fred.

Indeed we should!


I can't believe this age we live in!

If I could do that back in the 80's & 90's (I mean make contact with such people) it would blew my mind!

Even now it feels very nice!

So, welcome Fred!

I'm starting to get embarassed here! Thanks Kaps.

My co-driving days are long gone (Dakar 2001 was the last). Now I organise events and do some stewarding.

My hobby is rally history, mostly 1945 to 1972, but of course all the other stuff too so this is a good place to be.

Thanks again.

Hello.
I'm new here.
I'm searching for champions results previous 1970 (rallybase).
I have a few questions:
There was an international rally championship like 1970-1972?
Or continental/regional championships?
Do you have the champions (drivers/engines) for those previous years?
Thanks a lot.
