1973 - the first year of the new WRC, starting with Monte-Carlo. However, it was only for Manufacturers.
Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Brabham Racing Organization's first F1 success. Sir Jack took the checker at the Solitude GP, against a strong field including Clark, Team Lotus and most of the British runners.

Having grown up in Kenya, to me Easter means just one thing - The Safari
And this year it's the 50th anniversary of the "Magnificent Seven" who managed to wallow through the mud to the finish in 1963:
1. Zbigniew (Nick) Nowicki & Paddy Cliff - Peugeot 404
2. Peter Hughes & Billy Young - Ford Anglia 1200
3. Jim Cardwell & David Lead - Mercedes-Benz 220SEb
4. Joginder Singh & Jaswant Singh - Fiat 2300
5. Hugh Lionnet & Ivan Philip - Peugeot 404
6. Ian Jaffray & Simon Bathurst - Peugeot 403/7
7. Bill Bengry (GB) & Gordon Goby - Rover 3-litre
This was the year that Eric Carlsson posted one of the most unusual reasons for retirement from a rally. He hit an aardvark! The impact pushed the anti-roll bar into a front universal joint which cost them 32 minutes making a running repair. The SAAB service car didn't have the necessary spares to do a 'proper job' and eventually the car lost a front wheel and that was that.Duncan Rollo

I've just been reminded by a post on another forum that today is the 60th anniversary of the death of Tazio Nuvolari, in my opinion the greatest racer ever.

Looks like a lot of understeer for Evans.
