Review of the Year

David Williams reviews the 1996 season.

Top Ten Drivers

Michel Lizin takes up the unattractive task of making the list of ten best drivers of 1996.

Profile: Tommi Makinen

David Williams again writes of Tommi, having done it a year before as well.

Interview: Bruno Thiry

David Williams interviews Bruno Thiry during the time when championship was suffering and along it, salaried driver jobs were rare.

The Aftermath of Group B

Ten years after the Group B was banned, David Williams looks back. Speaking with Tony Pond, David finds that besides Group B, FISA's 1986 decisions killed other things too. One of top losses was the element of endurance, which in turn affected the way how cars were designed and built.

Profile: Wayne Bell

David Williams' profile of Wayne Bell, an Australian driver who was first involved with Hyundai when Korean manufacturer made appearance in WRC.

Technical Review

Martin Sharp tracks the overall development of Group A cars in 1987-1996, detailing the changes and recognizing the trends.

Interview: Malcolm Wilson

The fantastic story of how Malcolm Wilson was appointed to run Ford's rally team, dramatized to read like a soap opera by Jerry Williams.

To Sanremo with Ford

Russell Bulgin travels to Italy with Ford and follows their efforts at Sanremo Rally. Besides the proceedings of the event, he also writes about the future of the Ford - amidst all Boreham re-organization talk that went on during the season.
