I talked to Malcom Wilson about the Kim Santos accident shortly after the rally (he was driving for Rover in the 6R4 at the time). A Portugese journalist couldn't understand why the top WRC drivers had pulled out of the event and Malcolm explained it was out of respect for the dead and to ensure it wouldn't happen there again. The journalist's reponse was "They were Portugese who were killed. I am Portugese and I don't care - why do you?" Incredible!
