NOTES ON CONTENTS: Covers "all international rally cars from the 1950s to 2000, from the lightly-modified production cars of the early days, via the fire-breathing 500-horsepower monsters of the 1980s, to the computer-aided, exotically-constructed cars of today. There are features on each model backed up by results and specification tables and lots of technical and historical features to set the scene."
