Last month we posed you all the following question, giving you the chance to win a copy of
The Daily Mirror World Cup Rally 40 by Graham Robson:
What was Roger Clark reportedly asked to do at 14,000 feet as part of his altitude training for the London to Mexico Rally?
And the correct answer was:
Make love to local girl at 14,000 ft. Report back.
The alleged request came from Ford’s Stuart Turner, who wished to know the effects of lack of oxygen at altitude. Clark reported back with: "No girls at 14,000ft. So tried it 14 times at 1000ft. Will this do?"
Congratulations to Jon Thompson from Chertsey, Surrey, pictured here with his brand new copy. We hope you enjoy the read!
The Daily Mirror World Cup Rally 40 is available now.

Lasting six weeks and covering 16,000 miles from London to Mexico City via some of the most varying, tortuous and difficult terrain on three continents, the 1970 World Cup Rally was a unique high-speed event. Attracting many serious works teams such as Ford and British Leyland, it was, and remains, the toughest rally of all time.
We have a copy of this book worth £35 to give away!Just answer this simple question relating to Anthony's review.
