This month Ford Abu Dhabi's Mikko Hirvonen will bid to win Wales Rally GB and the World Rally Drivers' Championship.
It's one of the toughest rallies on the calendar, with snow, fog, ice and rain all possible, and hundreds of kilometres of muddy track.
And it's always been that hard.
Back in the '70s, Ford ruled the roost, with 8 successive wins in the event - here's how Hannu Mikkola and Arne Hertz led a Ford 1-2-3 in 1978...

Watching this having just heard Hannu passed away last Friday. this rally probably the last time someone led an event by 7 minutes.... What a driver, and such a nice man. R.I.P.

Great days. Was out spectating on this, lots of different cars, typical long RAC. It's a bit sobering to see how many great names in the rally have now passed away, the latest being Hannu, but how great it was to see so many British divers fighting for top positions. I suppose I've been spoilt watching rallying in the 70s, 80, and 90s. My favourite cars. The Escort, Audi Quattro and Subaru impreza from those different eras.

More weight in the rear axle = more traction
