Great photo and subject, absolutely. Very correct, a remarkable sample. I believe this particular rally-Z never quite received the recognition from us Americans it deserved. Perhaps due in part for lack of (real) rally events here. None of the less, when you consider the amount of effort required to complete the Darker Rally, let alone win, you can appreciate it's achievements and historical importance in motorsport.

FIAWR Constructors Championship wins equal high sales in Europe, rightfully so. These vehicles, albeit piloted by arguably the most talented drivers in the world (F1 legend Michael Schumacher conceded as much), conquer a variety of terrain and elements in anger. I'd like to see one of our domestic bigger-than-you, 747 jumbo SUV take a stab at it.

One last thought, how does an FIAWR navigator avoid nausea?---Jerry
