Alastair's greatest achievements in Classic Rallying were in his little Peugeot 205 Rallye.
The fifteen year old Peugeot 205 Rallye had quite a history behind it before Alastair got behind the wheel. It is a French, left-hand drive 1300cc hatch-back that was used as a reccy car at the Peugeot Sports works. It was then used by Richard Burns as a road car. Alastair took her to the World Cup Rally in 2002 and won convincingly. He has taken part in the World Cup rallies three times in the Peugeot, winning twice and missing out on the title in 1003 following an accident.
My victory in the 2005 World Cup Rally was one of my greatest achievements because I didn't just win: I beat the shit out of them. And the cars I was up against weren't like mine, they were 4x4s and classic cars. Every morning my competitors would wake up and see me in my little Peugeot sitting at the front of the line. They always thought: 'Oh well, he's going to get stuck today,' but I never did.
