Title: Motorsport News Post by: SteveGales on 07 October, 2009, 07:45:55 PM In this week's Motorsport News (or as everbody still calls it..Motoring News!) continuing their rally driver profiles there's a two
page feature on Miki Biasion. Great insight into the running of the Lancia team under Cesare Fiorio and a few nice photos. Elsewhere in the paper there is an obituary to Pentti Airikkala who died last week after a year long battle against cancer. He was only 64. I remember seeing the adverts for his Left Foot Braking school and thinking 'I would love to have a go at that'. He also used to own an integrale, a very low mileage 8V I think, which he offered for sale a few years back. I wonder what ever happened to it? Very sad news Title: Re: Motorsport News Post by: fensaddler on 08 October, 2009, 07:36:17 PM One of the names of my youth, piloting rally cars (I associate him with the Chevette HSR) through Sutton Park in the RAC whilst a deeply excited 'and not cold at all' young kid watched goggle eyed. Pentti - you gave it plenty...
