What is the story about his road accident in a Ferrari F40?

In 1994 he was going for the title, started by winning Monte Carlo, but had a road accident in a friends F40 and broke his legs which caused him to miss a lot of the season. 93/94 was his best period driving wise and he could have done it, personally I think he would have missed out anyway as the Toyota and Subaru were starting to out develop Ford with stuff like the active diffs etc, although Makinen did win 1000 Lakes in a one-off factory drive.
Shame he didn’t get the chance as by ‘95 the Ford team was a not run by the factory and wasn’t really competitive and after that he went back to French Championship with Peugeot and the 306 Maxi.

This DirtFish ranking is pure joke! Can not understand why there is no Urmo Aava and Karl Kruuda, when we all know what Estonians are doing...

Here's my sum of the 2022 WRC stages. New ones, fast and slow ones, but also cancelled ones.

"Shitara Town 2 was meanwhile cancelled because Craig Breen went off on the first run of the stage, damaging a barrier." - Officially yes

Did anybody keep a red flag tally?

Well it was a fan vote and what can you expect when big newspapers urged people to vote.
Anyways I got Loeb, Ogier and KKK as top3 so my conscious is clean

I didn’t vote, but if I voted with my head I would have Loeb, Ogier & Kankkunen as my top 3.
If I voted with my heart, Mikkola, Toivonen & Vatanen with an honourable mention for McRae.

I would have probably voted Loeb, Ogier and KKK as well. Since once could submit only the top 3, I'm surprised they could make a top 50 list, you'd think not more than 20 drivers would get a vote. I guess the troll votes for Serderidis, Shinozuka etc. actually had a great impact
