Me and My Team
M-Sport owner and Ford World Rally Team principal Malcolm Wilson introduced the reader to his team, telling not only facts about the team and Dovenby Hall operation, but also reflects the history leading to Ford contact and article also has a surprisingly long stretch of Malcolm's thoughts of top drivers of the other teams.
Markko Martin
Story of Estonian Markko Martin, consisting mostly of his privateer years as he was signed by Subaru only little before book went to press.
First Time Winner - again - for Subaru!
Subaru engineer Christian Loriaux introduces Subaru's Impreza WRC2000, going through changes in bodyshell, engine, transmission, interior and exterior. Also in separate sidebar are lessons learned so far, though it is claimed that no negative things had been found out.
The Cars in My Life
Juha Kankkunen tells about the cars he has driven in his impressive career so far, from private BDA Escort to Toyota Celica Twincam Turbo, Peugeot 205T16 and Group A Lancia Delta and Toyota Celica. Juha also offers insights into cars that he never drove.
Citroen Aims for the Top
In 2000, Citroen's WRC challenge was only it's infancy and this article, detailing the road that led to two wins with Xsara KitCar in 1999 and construction of the Xsara T4 World Rally Car prototype is very interesting reading. The huge difficulties they faced, from internal politics (Citroen and PSA) to relations with FIA and other teams are explained. Also mentioned, albeit only very very briefly is the least succesful of Citroen's rally cars, the infamous Group B Citroen BX4TC.
