Before you start shouting at me that Juha never drove a Porsche, check Manx International Rally 1984 entry list from ewrc-results.com.
This was a one off entry for Kankkunen with Porsche. He was substituting for Henri Toivonen as Henri had injured his back a bit earlier and was unable to drive. In an interview Juha said "Mr. Piironen called me last friday if I could come to England to drive a rally."
According to Juha he was allowed to drive other cars despite being contracted to Toyota at the time. Only other "tsapaniis" cars posted an issue.
Apparently Juha only had one week to practice for the rally, but it wasn't for much. Juha had to retire on special stage 4 of 49 for oil pressure related issues. Before his retirement from the rally he was running on 6th in the rally. I guess his pace would've improved as the rally would've progressed on.
Ah well, now you can go and try to do your best Kankkunen impressions with this car. And no I don't mean having oil pressure related issues.
