Yeah, this one takes a short explanation.
Today, the Binky Boys released a short teaser about the next episode. It's been a while since the last one, and there's been a bit of to-do on the twitter, so I assume they wanted to X-Mas cheer folks.That video caused me to go look at older ones, and one of the first, if not THE first, is an out-take video It's 8 years and change ago, and it's fun to watch the very start.
In that video, there's a short segment that, as I recall, was never used, where Richard talks about the rally-version of the donor car being the most successful Group A rally car ever...until they got caught cheating. And then Nik adds that, "it was genius, you have to admit", and they encourage you to look it up.
Well, I had already looked it up, and I do agree with them. It's also a bit of a fun story, and so I thought I'd share it here.

It's not very long and doesn't go in all that deep, but it's still amusing. The then head of FIA, Max Mosely, called it "the most ingenious I've seen in 30 years".
