"Finland's Rauno Aaltonen treats rallying as an exact science and in his quest for absolute perfection is constantly analysing both his own style and ability and the construction and layout of the cars he drives.This is something that he has applied equally effectively to the other sports in which he has been so successful -- motor cycling, ski-ing and sailing."
