Rod Millen is IIRC the current PP record holder in his outragous Toyota. I recall this being brought over to the Goodwood Festival of Speed recently.
US specials mostly dominate since the factory assaults by Audi and Peugeot works teams in the late 80's, with the sole exception of a Saab works-sanctioned effort by Per Eklund with a special 700hp 4x4 Viggen based on his then, rallycross car. I think this was about 3-4 years ago.
Eklund I seem to recall wons his class and was 2nd O/A. Not sure how the times have moved on since the days of Rohl and Vatenen's battle up PP.?
