In the first line of his post LazioCenturion states that the statistics are only going back to 1979: "I compiled a list of the Driver's and Manufacturer's Champions back to 1979". I think he's aware the manufacturer stats are only complete since 1979, not since the start of the WRC, and as long as he doesn't claim otherwise, I don't see any problems.

A couple of things:
1) I suppose one could add the 1973 to 1978 manufacturer's titles if you want. My stats focus was always on the driver's championship, so I have not done much with the preceeding 6 seasons.
2) I am aware there are other sites with some of these stats. This was just a little posting along the lines of my stats for each rally.
3) Nicky Grist did not actually win a co-driving title but took over half-way through Juha Kankkunen's 1993 season. So I suppose one could categorize that in several ways. (Juha Piironen was the initial co-driver until he had a stroke or embalysm or something like that).
4) On the topic of Manufacturer's and Countries. I have seen on several sites, this stat listed in some form. Subaru, Mitsubishi and Toyota are Japanese manufactures and so that is why I labeled them as such.
With Ford, I know they are an American Company. However, often the nation of record on the sames sites mentioned previously is Great Britain. So, I am not sure if Ford is incorporated in both countries or what. Thankfully my info is not set in stone, so if someone can clarify this, or any other piece of information, I would be glad to make adjustments.
Thanks for all your feedback and help. I am just having fun.May God Protect Rally Drivers and Co-Drivers

Cool stuff, Lazio!

Even stranger considering Ford don't build any "Ford" brand cars in the UK anymore!
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

So, for all purposes and intentions, Ford should be counted as US entity.
First stage of the rally will be live soon, looking forward to it
