Aaltonen, Rauno (SF)

b 17/1/1938 (Turku)

An accomplished sportsman who began his motoring career as a motorbike rider (road racing, motocross and speedway) and also was a national powerboat ace. In the non-motoring sports, he performed well in sailing and skiing.
Aaltonen came to automobile racing through rallying in 1956 with Mercedes and Saabs, but continued at the same time his motorbike career (1958 Finland Champion) and also had a brief single seater try. Went on to become on of the greatest and most versatile Finnish drivers ever. Has been a factory driver for Mercedes, BMC (1962-67 his greatest years), Ford, Lancia, Datsun, FIAT, BMW and Opel and shone on the roads and tracks of the world. Probably the greatest Mini driver of all-time (41 factory outings resulted in 8 overall victories and 14 class victories), he was deeply involved with the development of this car.
Fell in love with Africa during the East African Safari Rallyes, an event he never won despite coming close numerous times (five times second in 21 starts !). Wrote a book called Revolution Behind The Wheel in the 1970s.

Alèn, Markku (SF)

b 15/02/1951 (Helsinki).

Legendary flying Finn Markku Alèn passed his driving licence at 18 in 1969. The following day, he finished second of his first ever Ice Race (his father was a regular competitor in this typical Scandinavian racing) and later in the year starts his first 1000 Lakes Rally on a Renault 8 Gordini. He continued racing in the popular Finnish Ice Racing Series in 1970, becoming National Champion.
After a great progression in rallies in private Volvos and Fords, Markku became a FIAT factory driver in 1974 and would remain with the Italian team for 15 full years, thus earning the reputation of being the most Latin of the Nordic drivers. In a 30+ year international career, Markku built one of the greatest records of rallying history. He started 129 WRC events, winning 20 of them and scoring 840 points. Despite this, he was never crowned World Champion. He did win the 1978 FIA Drivers Cup (forerunner to the Drivers World Chmpionship introduced in 1979) and can be considered as the main factor in Lancia’s 1983 World Manufacturers title against the mighty Audi team. He was in fact also World Champion for eleven days in 1986 after winning the Olympus Rally. But shortly after, the FISA decided that the points of the San Remo Rally (which Markku had won) would not be included into the WRC standings and handed the title to his arch-rival Juha Kankkunen. 
After this rather controversial episode, Markku remained three more years with Lancia, winning his last WRC event at the 1988 RAC Rally. He then drove selected rallies with Subaru and Toyota, also doing a lot of testing work for the two makes who used his skills to progressively become two of the most successful makes of the 1990s. A big crash at the 1993 1000 Lakes Rally finally decided him to stop competing on a regular basis in the WRC. Many were surprised when he then decided to try his hand at Touring Cars through the famous DTM / ITC series. But it must be remembered that during his Lancia years, Markku started a handful of World Sportscar events (notably at Le Mans in 1980) and twice won the Giro d’Italia. However, he could not benefit from a top-team car and had to be happy with Italian privateer Giani Giudici’s Alfa's. Results were predictably disappointing, and for the 1997-98 seasons he came back to his roots : Ice Racing via the French “Andros Trophy”. Now at the wheel of a factory Opel, Markku was one of the top performers of the series for two years, scoring several podium finishes.
After celebrating his 50th birthday in February 2001, Markku decided to compete one more time in his home event, the 1000 Lakes Rally (of which he is the best performer ever with 6 wins and 10 other podium finishes). At the wheel of a private Ford Focus WRC, the veteran driver finished a creditable 16th overall.

Ascari Jr, Antonio "Tonino" (I)

b 1942

Went to Coventry in 1960, working for Jaguar. He returned to Milan where he got a job with Villoresi's Innocenti-Mini Agency, before becoming involved with the construction of Formula Junior cars for Stanguellini and Foglietti. On reaching the age of 21, he inherited a sum of money from his deceased Grandmother, and he used this to drive in Formula Junior at Monza on the 29th August, later attending the Vallelunga race school. Guested in the 1964 Agentine Temporada series, sitting in a Maserati driven by Fangio and Jose Froilan Gonzales. On 15th April 1964, it was announced that Ascari Jr would race for two years for Scuderia Madunina, driving a Foglietti-Holbay F3, and he became "Overall Champion of Italy". He soon gave up racing, succumbing to pressure from his mother who didn't want him to race, and pressure from a sponsor who wanted to exploit his name.
