Very good - but please, no more referring to a rally as a race!
Waldegard first made an impact in the UK in a VW1600TL on the RAC 65/66 and Gulf London.
He then became an outright contender in a Scania Vabis 911. Not exactly "Porsche Sweden". This was usually a 911L, homologated in Group2, and thus a quicker car than a 911S of the new Appendix J Group3, where that had to be virtually standard. Although Ake Andersson initially seemed to get better results in the team, BW suffered unreliability rather than any difference in pace. SV taught Porsche all about forest rallying - it was never the other way round.
The reference to the 2002Ti on the 73 RAC doesn't really do him justice as he was much higher when the tree got in the way and then, as now in Historics, the 2002 was flawed by the homologated rear brakes.
Everyone seems to recall Mikkola and Vatanen in Escorts in the late 70s but BW was the rock on which Ford's success was founded. I have a vivid memory of him becoming quite emotional as he began to speak at the prize giving after winning the 77 RAC, referring to his earliest RACs in 1600TLs.
