Agreed, I remember when Road Rallying was Pre-Plot (aka road racing) there were a couple of guys who did remarkably well and occasionally winning events with bog standard cars from the local car rental! They were up against specialist RS2000's, TR8's, HS Chevettes etc. Andy Dawson did the same in a Ford Sierra and won a National Series event.
Of course being quick doesn't always apply as Vicki Butler-Henderson found on Fifth Gear (Brit TV show) when she teamed up with IRC champ, Andeas Mikkelsen to do our car club's 12-Car rally in a Fabia vRS coming 7th o/a (I think) out of 12.
