    Tallest/Shortest World Champions?

    Not the most related topic to the rally at hand, but I was just curious about this question.

    I know Marcus is fairly lanky, but I didn't know he was 198cm tall.

    198 cm, slender, old-looking. Obviously Marcus physical appearance doesn't bring fast driver to ones mind..
    I am a big fan of Andy Aigner

    As a short person myself, I have a slightly odd interest in how tall people are. 198cm is just over 6'5" - I didn't realise Marcus was that big.
    Richard Burns was a similar height to Marcus, as it was always commented on that he found the Peugeot's interior uncomfortable and Marcus didn't.
    Seb Loeb isn't very tall. He claims to be 5'9" but looks smaller.
    Speedqueens website is offline while I rehome it, but it will be back, and much bigger than before.

    Didier Auriol got to be the shortest one I think.

    In World Rallying 12 on p. 36 there is a pic of Auriol - Biasion - Saby standing on Lancia Delta's bonnet and to me it seems that Didi is slightly taller than Miki. Could be my eyesight too...

    It's scrappily put on Wikipedia. Apon thought, it seems about right, but I'm not so sure. He seems much taller than 6'2" to me, mainly because I have about 5 friends who are that height.
