Delecour is some character alright. Some memorable moments he's provided to me were:-
1) Leading the Monte in a works Sierra Sapphire on his WRC debut before crashing out on the last stage (God, I'm old!)
2) Accusing another driver of illegal recce and trying to hit him. The other driver being Panizzi - his Peugeot team-mate! - and the location for the dispute being in front of the world's media during lunch.
3) While all other drivers chose to fly to Corsica, Francois went by Jetski.
4) Removing the engine from a Mitsubishi. Using a tree.
Quite frankly, he was lucky to survive the last shunt and perhaps he's chosen to retire to the warm French countryside with his family. I am sure he made enough money when he was driving and his unique personality, while great to watch from outside, must have made him a nightmare to employ.
