Whoever knows anything about rally history... top 50 WRC drivers of all times. It's very hard to compare different eras, but this made me laugh.

#47 Greensmith and #48 Serderidis

in front of Andruet (Monte winner & ERC champion) and Darniche (Monte winner & 2 times ERC champion)

#46 Therier, the would-have-been 1973 world champion (in an era with no drivers championship) behind Bourne, Kresta, etc...

Ingvar Carlsson on 41th. Well deserved.

That is called democracy ...
There is always a strong bias atrecent drivers. Many people may not even knowt he names of Darniche, Andruet, Therier ...
and yes i agree : Therier should be in the top 10, if not top 5. He was viewed by his peers as one of the most talentetd ever ...

Yes, also. But most with the 323 4WD...

Drivers from #40 to #31
I'd say all these drivers are worthy, but the order... Auriol #32 and behind Mikkelsen? Still missing drivers like Delecour, Gardemeister and Duval, are they going to rank better than Auriol and Munari?
I know it's not written by a journalist, but still

I was a little kid when he won my home rally with the RX-7. I looked at this car in amazement, knowing that somewhere there must be some better world:

I don't understand how you can complain when it's a voting.
