The car he had at Prescott was designed was Carlos Sainz Sr in 1992 for rally Australia, but wrapped in his colours of green, red and white, “the colours of my era”.
Grist won his first championship in 1993 co driving for Juha Kankkurnen and widely known and respected in the motorsport world as one of the most successful co drivers in WRC history.
