The previous year's winner, and the next year's World Champion, Bjorn Waldegarde.
Another future World Champion, and the original Stig, Mr Blomqvist in the I-can't-believe-they-rallied-something-that-big Saab 99 Turbo.
Great sound, great colour scheme, great car and a great driver: Markku 'Maximum Attack' Alen.
A future double World Champion, Walter Rohrl acting as chauffeur to Christian Geistdorfer, who is sat in the back.

Sandro Munari. 'El Draco' on his last RAC.
Then the new kid on the block - Russell Brookes.
Penti Airikkala. He never had any luck on the RAC with Chevette, but eleven years later he was to win the event in a Mitsubishi Galant.
John Haugland in the 'surprising' Skoda 130RS
