WRC: Five of the best
Imagine the thrill of grabbing hold of a car and throwing it round some of the most iconic and awe-inspiring roads in the World Rally Championship. That image could become reality as Autosport magazine took five rallying aces to their favourite stages in the world that you can drive yourself.Now, autosport.com brings you the video footage from their spellbinding ride, and each driver's account of his exploits, serialised from today.
Mikko Hirvonen is on a roll. The lead driver of the Ford World Rally Team is powering his Focus Zetec-S along Great Orme with a grin on his face that even today's wet and windswept weather cannot shift.
"It's been a while since I last drove this road - and that was flat out under competition conditions," grins Hirvonen. "Now I can actually take in the fantastic scenery around me and really enjoy the car, the road and the drive."
