WRC 2009: Funny Petter Solberg - Up Yours!

[Motorsportfun]

Teemu Arminen during Rally d'Italia Sardegna 2010:

"I'm trying to be clever in driving, but did you ever see clever rally driver?"

[gravelman]

When asked by a TV reporter what he could do with a works spec car, Irish rally folk hero Frank Meagher coolly responded with "Take it handy, and win win every rally around." Frank had led Mark Lovells works spec and works supported Group A Sierra Cosworth on the 1989 Galway rally in a very well used and highly outdated Ford Escort RS1800 run on a shoestring budget. He repeated this feat by leading Saeed Al Hajri's Cosworth on the Cork 20 rally of the same year

Sorry to bring a threat back from sleep although was watching a video of Tommi Makinen taking Tiff for a ride in his Evo VII WRC car in Wales testing.

Tommi (in his thick Finnish accent): "Since the last run we have made setup changes because last time on the first corner we almost hit the big tree".

Corsica, 1983
Q: All other drivers are absolutely exhausted. How are you taking it?
Tony Pond: Well, I'm drinking tea. Seems to be alright.

If you know more of Tony Pond's punchlines (they must be plenty), please send them here.

I think it was also Pond who said after another of his rally ending crashes:

"To be a world class driver you need to have world class accidents"

[A.F.F.]

"To be a world class driver you need to have world class accidents"

In that perspective Jani Paasonen was a world class driver... and more :)

Tony and Co-driver were drinking tea in a cafe - while the rally was still in progress - a person working in rally admin realised that he must have retired early. The TR8 had been plagued with electrical problems so the admin guy went over to commiserate. The conversation went like this:

Out of the rally then Tony?
Yep
Electrical problems again?
Yep
How exactly?
The conrod came out of the side of the block and knocked the alternator off....
