Onboard With A WRC Driver In A Rear-Drive Historic

WRC drivers are amazing pilots, but what happens when you take one out of his high-tech 4WD hatchback and stick him in an old Ford Escort?

Oversteer. Lots and lots of glorious oversteer.

This is my favorite current WRC driver, the wonderfully aggressive Jari-Matti Latvala in his own Mk2 Escort RS1800 on the Lahti Historic Rally. Of course, you knew that already.
