    About this ebook

    WILL YOU BE ABLE TO GUESS THE MORE THAN 70 DRIVERS OF THE WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP IN THIS BOOK?

     

    To do so, you will have their photograph... and three clues about the most outstanding or curious aspects of their career. Make your choice and move forward one page to see if you got it right.

     

    To facilitate this task, the drivers who appear on the following pages are those who have managed to win at least one world championship rally.

     

    The challenge is enormous. Some drivers are easier to guess, but guessing the vast majority of them is only within the reach of a true rally fan. Will you be able to identify them all?

     

    Whether you can or not, this challenge will allow you to enjoy yourself as you travel through time recalling the main heroes of the competition, and learning facts and curiosities about the drivers that you may not have known.

     

    Which driver drove a Mini with no hood and no visibility? Who, after 40 years of solo driving, retired after breaking his arm in the Safari Rally? Who was known for his phrase "now maximum attack"? Which driver became a member of the European Parliament?

     

    Go ahead and show how much you know about the WRC!

      Guess the WRC Driver - Hado Bannister

      INSTRUCTIONS

      Can you guess the more than 70 World Rally Championship drivers in this book? To do this, you will have his photograph... and three clues about the most outstanding or curious aspects of his career. On the next page, you will find the solution.

      To make this task easier, the drivers featured on the following pages are those who have managed to win at least one world championship rally.

      Still, the challenge is huge. Some drivers are easier to hit, but guessing the vast majority of them is only within the reach of a true rally fan. Will you be able to identify them all?

      Whether you succeed or not, I hope that this challenge allows you to enjoy traveling through time remembering the main heroes of the competition, and learning facts and curiosities about the pilots that you may not have known.

      What pilot drove a Mini without a hood or visibility? Who after 40 years driving only retired after breaking an arm in the Safari Rally? Who was known for his phrase max attack now? Which pilot became a member of the European Parliament?

      Go ahead and show how much you know about the WRC!
