20 years later - and Ari's still there

Q&A interview with Ari Vatanen. Interview goes through topics like his nearly fatal accident in Argentina 1985, short-notice dismissals from Mitsubishi and Subaru, changes in WRC and tragedies of life (and WRC).

An insight on the drivers by the men who know

Dieter Bulling (Toyota), John Wheeler (Ford), Greg Wheeler (Mitsubishi) and David Lapworth (Subaru), engineers of the top WRC teams at the time, give their views on top drivers they work or have worked with. Differences in driving styles, approaches to testing, styles of communication and personalities. Best part of this article is that since same top drivers have driven for various teams, they are covered multiple times and from different point of view.

Two-wheel drive rallying - back to the future

At the time, it was planned that F2 cars would become the top formula in WRC. With that in mind, Holmes explores the world of two-wheel driven cars, their peculiarities and current status, explaining the historical backgrounds and Kit Car rules. Two mini-articles explain technical challenges with Nissan's engineer John Easton and with title "Then as now" views of Stig Blomqvist, an expert on 2WD cars.

Go east - the Asia-Pacific Championship revealed

With more interest from Japanese manufacturers in WRC, also Asia-Pacific Championship has gained more status and interest. Holmes relates some stories about this regional championship.
