Hmmm i wonder if the Gord team allows gronholm and Hirvonen to fight it out in the 2 remaining stages....Sordo is not far behind though...but i think that both Gronholm and Hirvonen can control him.

If you want results for the 1974 WRC Rally of the Rideau Lakes, you have to ask the correct person.

Since I was the organizer of the event, that would be me.

What do you want?

Rock and €rap

Stage Flash 4
Car 38. SOHLBERG/PIETILAINEN

“Half way into the stage there was a big rock around a corner. I hope no-one put it there. I could not avoid it. Now the engine is hot.”


Stage flash 7/8
Car 34. HIGGINS/MARTIN
“The car is tracking out at the right rear wheel because I hit a large stone in stage five – it was impossible to avoid. The spectators are a problem, there are big stones in the road and we had a stone thrown at my co-driver’s window. Also in stage five, we went through the water splash and knocked off the wheel speed sensor. After that, the car started misfiring. At the start of the second super special stage, because of the right rear tracking problem, the car oversteered and I hit a bridge, damaging the right rear wing.”

Car 43. BENIK/BUNKOCZI

“Many problems for me. We had no turbo pressure for stages five and six. Then we had to change a fuel pump and then we hit some stones that spectators had put in the road.”

Service Flash D
Car 43. BENIK/BUNKOCZI
Had problems with the fuel pump on all three stages and then the gearbox was damaged when he ran over some stones on the 11th stage.

Car 37. PAVLIDES/GIRAUDET
A stone hit his screen and damaged the glass on the co-driver’s side.
