This story is getting around fast but it's a shame the information in the title is wrong.

From what I've read elsewhere: he entered a piggyback event that had 9 competitors. One was a 206 WRC that hosed everything and won by 48 minutes. Two were Evo 9s (of which one DNF'd, two were FWD Peugeots (one DNF'd), two were Group N FWD Clios (both DNF'd) and one was a FWD 2 litre NA Group N Lancer (that finished 2nd). There were 5 finishers and he finished 4th.
