    A very interesting read Henry. I had to laugh when I read "he quickly repaired the car with the help of two spectators" . Ah, those were the days

    That still happens in the WRC doesn't it?

    At least you can get fan help if your car goes off the road.

    I only read about half the article, but it is interesting to read about a guy who is completely overshadowed by his son, but yet was a great driver in his own right.

    No/Yes. You can be disqualified from the race or get a harsh time penalty if you get repairing help from the spectators, even if they hand over tools for you. But pushing a car back on the road by spectators is very common and not penalized.
