1982 World Champion Keke Rosberg rotates his Williams FW08C toward my left eye at Turn 7, on his way to taking second at 1983 Detroit Grand Prix after qualifying 12th. Ground effects were banned for 1983 season - replaced with flat bottoms, so every driver had to adjust his driving style to cope with less downforce - except Rosberg. 

Of all the sportscar brands currently jumping on the Safari band wagon, Porsche certainly has the most authentic offroading heritage. After all, the all-new, limited-edition Porsche 911 Dakar was inspired by the Porsche 953 that won the Paris – Dakar Rally in 1984. Proven on the world’s toughest rally slopes, the all-wheel-drive system soon made it into serial sportscar production – first in 1986 in form of the highly exclusive Porsche 959, then in 1988 when the first Porsche 911 Carrera 4 was introduced for the Type 964.
