Quickest rally drivers on tarmac/asphalt?
I caught some old 80's footage of event like The Manx, San Remo and Ypres recently and marvelled at the names that were taking part as well as some of the equipment.
When 'i were a lad' I was quite into the Group 4 and Group B's but lost interest in the 90's. I always recall that some drivers were more at home on ashphalt and some on the loose, but who were the real tarmac rally aces? The late Tony Pond springs to mind, he seemed to be able to make anything go well but I always understood that Rohrl, Toivonen, McRae Senior and Brookes were aces as well? What about the French and Belgian drivers who did most of their major events on the black stuff like Auriol, Frequelin, Ragnotti and Duez, Sniyers and Droogmans?
