Three British Rally Championship titles probably belied the motorsport talent that was Mark Higgins. The Manx native never got the big break of a full time seat with a works team in the World Championship but on his home event, he was untouchable. Trying to place himself in the shop window of the factory teams, Higgins hired a Toyota Corolla WRC for his home event in 2002. Andrew Nesbitt, who was in the form of his life, could only manage second place to Higgins who finished almost 5 minutes ahead after a devastating performance.
