1979 Italian One Make Series
Haven't heard anything about the 2004 series. However....
Tonight I saw "A Tale of Two Rallies" (taped last night from Speed TV.) The two were San Remo and RAC, 1979.
It was the first time I ever saw a Lancia Stratos--man, what a beautiful, agressive looking beast! Wow!
Interestingly, the San Remo coverage, which was less than 15 minutes worth, still mentioned a single-make club event as part of the WRC round and gave them a bit of TV exposure! They even used the words "club" and "rally" together (if I recall correctly).
In contract, I was watching the Rim coverage from 1998 (on ESPN2 that year) and some overall National class winners didn't get recognized. I'm happy that this year the program editors and writers at Speed are able to be broader in their coverage of the different cars and classes.
Hmmm, part of this may seem like a hijacked thread, but in truth it's just a long-winded comment about the Italian one-make series featured from the 1979 San Remo Rally.
Your mileage may vary.
