释义 |
Toivonen was awarded a controversial first place on the 1966 Monte Carlo Rally - the top three placing Minis of Timo Mäkinen, Rauno Aaltonen and Paddy Hopkirk and Roger Clark's 4th place Ford Cortina were disqualified. Rally officials determined the headlamp bulbs were not homologated, following a last minute rule change.[2] The winner therefore became Toivonen's Citroën DS. As a result, Toivonen did not brag about his victory in the prestigious Monte Carlo rally because he felt he had not deserved the victory.{{Citation needed|date=April 2015}} However, when his son, Henri came in first at the same event twenty years later —- this time in a convincing manner —- Toivonen said, "Now the name of Toivonen has been cleared." {{Citation needed|date=April 2015}} Toivonen was European Rally champion in 1968 and won four other events for Porsche in the same year. {{Citation needed|date=April 2015}} While Toivonen was mainly known for driving rally cars, he also drove for Porsche in World Sportscar Championship races and for Renault in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. {{Citation needed|date=April 2015}} Notable results
