On this day in 1977, Ford's Swedish rally driver Björn Waldegård's talent impresses at the World Rally Championship, despite six punctures:
“Waldegård took the lead as the rally hit the Welsh forests and never looked like losing it. Mikkola hung on but gradually fell back and only really put the pressure on again on the final day in an effort to narrow the gap and force an error.
“Even six punctures could not handicap Waldegård enough to be caught. lt was a rally that rewarded the traditional virtues of speed, consistency and professionalism of driver and team.” Unfortunately for Ford, it wasn’t quite enough for the title, despite their Italian rivals’ poor showing.
