No format change from Rallying two but this book is very interesting for it includes top-10 results for WRC rallies for 1973 and 1974.
Text is by Martin Holmes and photographs by Hugh Bishop or Holmes himself. Photography mainly black-and-white with several pages of color photos in an appendix.

BL Motorsport - competitions department
In keeping with the tradition, Holmes visits a manufacturer competition department a third time. Article briefly introduces the current team and concentrates attention to Triumph TR7/8 rally activities, which were conducted at the time of writing. Keeping with the tradition, photos are plentiful and text is brief.
Thoughts of Ove Andersson
An interview with the future chairman of Toyota Team Europe. Conducted in narrative style as if Ove himself tells it to you, the interview mainly concentrates on mr Andersson's experiences with various works teams as a driver. At the time, TTE was still a small team but Toyota and TTE are also subjects that are visited occasionally as are topics like championship in general and involvement of some drivers and other manufacturers.
Audi Quattro rally car
A year before the car makes its competition debut, Holmes takes a closer look at potentially revolutionary Audi quattro. It is interesting to note that in a brief overview, Holmes has more open mind, finding more positive aspects and having less doubts than most of his contemporaries did.
The 1980 year in retrospect
For the first time, Holmes has a short review of the championship season.
