    Dave Richards? (at least his doppleganger) in the Schnitzer BMW pits for the GT3 race at Bathurst, Australia, mending bridges/ networking for an r5 mini project application? Dakar did not go too well for the X-Raid mini 4x4s and mini buggies and all the Euros tipped in that direction?

    Edit 4/2 - tv commentator confirmed that it was Dave Richards at the Bathurst 12 hour.

    Good to see that despite the dysfunctional team the Citroen drivers' friendship is intact.

    I noticed that guy with the beard and had similar thoughts, too. Maybe his German twin?

    Edit: TV commentator confirmed it was David Richards in his new role as head of MSA (UK's ASN).

And in the late 70s he was clearly the best rally driver in the world in my opinion. I'm sure that decision also played a big role in the success in the 80s that was to follow and the amazing longevity of his career, factory rally driver until 50. The funny thing is, he looked younger in 1984 at 42 than he did in 1974 at 32.

    I was spectating with him in the same corner in a Finnish Championship event in 2002. I think he was there mainly to see his friend Timo Salonen who was in a Group N car warming up for his 50 year celebration Rally Finland later that year. Anyway, people were half jokingly asking if Hannu would also do a 60 year celebration event that same year, which Hannu politely declined. The thing is though, Hannu at 60 looked younger than most other Finnish rally greats have looked at 50. And probably could have also given a good run for the money on the stages.

    If you want to watch my ugly old grumpy face, take a look at Meekes´off at SS13. I´m kind of snubbling trying to push the car, which at that moment moved backwards. Kind of funny stuff. But at least I feel like moviestar. I wear a red winther hat.

    Btw my son was only one catching it on video. He is standing to the left waving Meeke to move on.
