In the early 1980s, a Swedish driver named Kenneth Eriksson stood out behind the wheel of an Opel Kadett. In 1986, he was recruited by Volkswagen Motorsport as an official driver. A status he would not leave until his final WRC season in 2002 with Skoda. After a first break-in season at the wheel of the Golf Mk.2 GTI 16V, Kenneth Eriksson managed to develop the full potential of the little German car the following season. In Monte-Carlo 1987, the Swede won a superb 5th place. Enough to propel this Golf into the legend of the "Monte-Carl’". This would just be the start of some outstanding results for the Eriksson / Volkswagen Golf duo. The driver would finish 4th in the championship with a victory at the Safari, which is no small feat!
