Fantastic book. HHF was a friend of a friend, and was tragically killed not too far from where I live.
At last year's Silverstone classic (of which said friend gets us competitors passes) there was a wall to draw motoring pictures to commemorate Henry.
I chose to draw Mr maximum attack launching over a crest in martini integrale.

@Allez Andruet & @AnttiL, useful info, thanks. I guess I don't know much of Alen, most of Group B era for me is related to AUDI, Peugeot 205 T16, S4, Rohrl and of course Toivonen, R.I.P.

Hope that isn't just chucking money away? There doesn't seem to be space in the wrc calendar with Kenya and Japan on the way. At least one European round is getting cut nevermind more added, and we need more tarmac.
Can understand why you're excited though and I would be too if/when Scotland ever replaces Wales . The stages in Estonia look incredible and the fan base is there, I'd just be massively surprised if your country gets in. But good luck

are you kidding? this is exactly what we need with only Sweden and Finland being very fast events atm. we should at least have one more, i dont care if it is Estonia or Poland as long it is fast.
And personally i would like to have one more tarmac round too.Last edited by EstWRC; 1st February 2019 at 07:24.

I agree, there should be one more fast event, something to bridge the gap between the likes of Portugal, Mexico and Sardegna and the faster ones of Sweden and Finland. Right now Australia is the only one that is somewhere between, but even that is closer to Portugal's speeds for the most part.

In Italy Alen is very much loved.
There are some sentences that he said with his particular italian language that are still remembered by most of people. I didnt follow rally back then (well, I wasn't alive for a big part of his career haha) but I hear about him from time to time.
Some I can translate in english trying to translate also the "mistakes".
If tyro keep I winning race! If tyro don't keep, I like bomb into mountain!
"Fault of I, car made PUFF"
"I remember first series 037 problems gear, then change and ok. dashboard fantastik, all clear: much lights saying me when problem. green lights maximum attack, red lights going slow and kikki calling assistance."
Talking about his son debut on tarmac: "for him asphalt is first time, he slow and learn" then he look at the sky "if rain, better we go home".
And still about his son running in Sardinia after he retired:"Sardinia no trees... Anton took only!!"
I tried to give the same tone in english language, for sure it's not the same but he was a greatest driver and also a very nice person. He knew what rally was about.Last edited by AL14; 1st February 2019 at 12:38.
