1983
FIA World Rally champion, Hannu Mikkola was one of the big 'names' at the Rallyday 2007 last Saturday.
Crash.net Radio caught up with the Finn at Castle Combe to get his thoughts on that event and the current state of the sport...
Crash.net:
Hannu, what have you made of the Rallyday so far?
Hannu Mikkola:
It looks to be very nice event. There are lots of good cars and lots of people. It is fantastic to see people are still interested in old cars and in rally cars.
Crash.net:
Do you enjoy events like this?
HM:
Yeah I do like coming to things like this, I think in this country interest is very strong. In Great Britain people enjoy the history - and rallying much more than some other countries.
Crash.net:
What do you make of the WRC now?
HM:
It is a completely different sport now. It is not the same as when I was doing it. It is much shorter, it is done in daylight and I could say much more commercial. There is no night time driving or competing in fog or any of that kind of stuff. But the cars go very, very fast and there are some good drivers in it.
Crash.net:
Do you still follow the sport?
