ECTS, Rally Trophy and Paddy Hopkirk

Snippet from JoWood Productions' press release:

**

Visitors to JoWooD's ECTS booth (no. 1615) will get sneak previews of
highly-anticipated historic rally sim, Rally Trophy; real-time strategy
hit-in-the-making, World War III - Black Gold and the sequel to the business
strategy smash, Industry Tycoon 2. There will also be an appearance by
Belfast-born rallying legend, Paddy Hopkirk who will be on hand to relive
the glory days of 60's rallying and demonstrate his driving skills with
Rally Trophy's Mini Cooper, the car he drove to victory in the 1964 Monte
Carlo Rally.

Rally Trophy is a rally sim for the PC with a difference. Instead of the
modern, run of the mill WRC cars found in nearly every other rally game on
the market, Rally Trophy features the illustrious cars of yesteryear. From
the Mini Cooper 1275S and the Renault Alpine A110, to the Ford Escort MK1
RS2000, the Ford Lotus Cortina and the Lancia Stratos, in Rally Trophy,
players will be able to pilot eleven timeless classics from the golden age
of rallying. Already generating huge interest among the racing sim
community, the all-new version to be shown at ECTS is set to continue the
trend.

.. What can I say? Legendary Paddy Hopkirk driving Rally Trophy can't be a
bad sight ;)

Yeah. I met him once - in the toilets at the Autosport show in
Birmingham years ago! AS I recall, I said "Hello". And he said "Hiya".
Timeless, eh?
