I loved the response on why he was on the rev-limiter past every crowd.

That's a great read. :cheers:



Out of curiosity, I wonder what the loophole was?

...he found a loophole in the FIA rules that let him enter a twenty-year-old car...

It was also a Rally America event. Any car with an RA logbook could enter the rally. He wasn't in the top WRC class. He also beat 400k rally cars that broke or crashed out.

It's a really cool story but the author is pretty vague about the circumstances.
