Yes Peter I do remember that race, Martin totally outfoxed Seppo if I remember right and just waited as the 205 driver over commited himself in his efforts to get past. The ultimate in cool overtaking manouveres.
Also I remember Rennison pulling off a couple of round the outsiders at Chessons, but not quite able to pull one off on Schanche in the A Final.
Welch was a very under rated driver in my opinion, you have to say that during a lot of his career he was developing brand new cars, first the different rear end in the Ztrac, then the totally unique Opel.
You guys must remember the Terje Schie round the outside at Samson in the Inter Nations Cup. V brilliant. And also the remarkable drives in the car first time out in 87, beating Rennison at Cadwell (I was there) and then running very well at the Croft Inter Nations.
Brillant, oh for a time travel machine!!!
