Hi, friends!
Sport of rallying has changed so much over last 25 years and when I watch this onboard, I can hear number of less spoken notes from co-driver in compare with these days top guys.
Tommi Makinen is a legend of sport who won four consecutive World Rally Championship titles from 1996 to 1999 and he said/thought that no one after that won't make it happen thr same way.
But he was wrong because Seb Loeb came soon and won nine titles in the row. But Makinen won the titles when there was much bigger competition of drivers and manufacturers.
Don't get me wrong but Seb Loeb destroyed the sport with his dominance and it is good that various guys win the title these days.
Did you know that Makinen was tractor driver? Yeah, he was. And that tractor driver won Monte Carlo Rallye four times. Very good, Tommi.
Please enjoy his onboard from 1999 edition of Monte...
