World Rally Championship - News - McRae joins Motor Sport’s Hall of Fame

It's good to see, but is absolutely outrageous that he's the first rally driver inducted.

I agree

Completely agree, but entirely predictable. I did see some comments on Twitter about this fact....
We have to accept that Rallying is circuit racing’s dirty and less glamorous cousin – and the media will show an interest when it suits them.
Saying that, Motorsport is a good magazine....and the idea of a Hall of Fame is to be applauded, just don’t expect too many Rally drivers to pop up.

You only have to take a two second glance at how the race of champions has metamorphesised in recent years to support that theory.

[sollitt]

Nevertheless, Motorsport (the magazine) has covered rallying for as long as the sport has been in existence. So it is a little surprising that they overlook all of the greats in this area.

[Tomi]

Maybe they should call it the Brittish Hall of Fame, then the choose of rally driver makes sence.

[N.O.T]

Lets hope they do not include any other rally drivers...because their criteria are a bit grim.
