well, not in '83, in those days..

Dang, I love that off-road race, not sure if it's shown in the states, there was a hummer in it this year though. Anyway, may have seen this shot, but in '83 a little car with a couple of bold french men behind the inclometer got a creditable 33rd.

Not bad considering two thirds of entries retire, crash etc.
