Wow, I've been trying to find this footage for years, thankyou so much, brilliant. Kim Austin was one of those exceptionally rare human enigmas. His abnormal talent meant he could leave his farm, jump into his homebuilt rally car then dial in his brain and drive 12 tenths beating guys that spent the whole year competing.He often wouldnt bother competing again until maybe the following year. Imagine if a guy with that kind of natural talent turned pro and rallied at the highest level.
