Lee,
Probably no comment as we have seen this before when we saw it on TV last March ! Its nothing new. Personally I like the one when Juha Kankkunen sat in the engine bay operating the throttle by hand and had his co driver steer the car looking through the side window. Lancia Delta Integrale I think it was.
Or the one where the co driver had sit hanging out the back boot of a Quattro to counter balance the missing front wheel.
See you in Sebring in 4 weeks time !
