Rauno Aaltonen: The driving skills he used to deal with young people throwing rocks at the vehicle.

Finland’s celebrated motor sport driver, Rauno Aaltonen, won many events and along with local Australia hero Bob Holden, in 1966 finished first in our famous touring car race at Bathurst’s Mt Panorama, in a tiny Mini Cooper S.

Rauno is now 83 years old, still has an international racing licence and remains thoughtful and crystal clear about the right approach to racing and to life. I recorded a chat with him for the Overdrive – cars, transport and culture radio and podcast program. The full interview and selected segments can be found on the web site drivenmedia.com.au.
