It is absolutely Fantastic that we have Three top drivers from the North American Rally Community competing in a World Rally event. (Did I miss anyone else?)

This is particularly prestigious because of the limited entries (WRC events capped at 90).

AND -- I don't think just a few short years ago we would have been able to imagine having a few drivers competing in North America who were capable of competing on an International level.

Despite the Growing Pains, there is a lot to be said about the elevation in status and ability that the Manufacturers and Foreign Drivers have brought to our shores.


I wish these drivers the Best of Luck!

Mike,

Canada (and to some extent the USA) can certainly claim Pat Richard as one of it's own. He cut his rally teeth in CARS and SCCA. Way to go Pat!

But the Higgin's? NO. They are first rate. But didn't learn their craft here and don't call North America home. Claiming them for North America is WAY too much of a stretch.
