30 years ago in a couple weeks, Henri Toivonen died in a Delta S4 after leaving the road at high speed. There is no evidence that he used the brakes.

I've heard theory that they were overcome by fuel vapors, I've also heard theory that Lancia was filling the roll cage with nitrous oxide for a little cheating action and the cage cracked while on stage.

It's my dream to build something like that. Low, light, on fat sticky tires, that shoots flames out an oversized exhaust!

Michele Mouton organized the Race of Champions, in honor of Toivonen.

His last public words: "Today, we have driven the equivalent of a full Jyskälä (Finnish Rally). It's hard to keep up with the speed."

Here's a quick question: Do all newer Corvette's have a button to toggle between km/h and mph? Because getting a km/h speedometer and leaving it the mph would be kind of awesome!

Assuming the numbers aren't digital and are printed.

And just like poor Roland Ratzenberger (who I was more of a fan of than Senna dues to his BTCC Exploits) being overshadowed by Senna at Imola in 94, everyone remembers Toivinen but forgets poor Attilio Bettega who died exactly one year to the day before (MaY 2ND 1985), also in a Lancia Group B car (an 037 rather than an S4 Delta) also on the Tour De Corse.
