Peter Lang, 1973 Australian Rally Champion. Probably the last time Harry Firth threw him the keys to one of the race cars.

I read somewhere that after this incident there was a concern that Peter Lang's competition license may not have covered him racing in that class that day. Another reason that he stayed on the dirt after this.
