RR7748B MOTOR RALLYING THE 1977 LOMBARD-RAC

(2 Dec 1977) RR7748B MOTOR RALLYING THE 1977 LOMBARD-RAC
The 1977 Lombard-RAC, the most taxing rally in
Europe, was almost a clean sweep for Fords, whose
cars took five out of the first six places. Swedish driver
Bjorn Waldegaard, who won the Monte Carlo and the
Safari rallies earlier this year, achieved a remarkable
hat-trick by winning on the British course as well.
Hannu Mikkola was second in a Toyota. This report
follows competitors on the 1900-mile route, including
over 400 miles of special stages where split-second
timing is vital to success.
