79 years old (Born on August 16, 1945)
Happy Birthday, Russell Brookes! You're still rallying through life faster than your legendary Escort RS1800. Winning the RAC Rally three consecutive years (1977-1979) and clinching the British Rally Championship in 1977 and again in 1985 proves you're a master of speed, precision, and consistency—qualities that surely help when blowing out all those candles!Even though time races on, your legacy remains timeless. May this birthday bring you as much joy as crossing the finish line first at the RAC Rally. Keep steering clear of potholes and hairpin turns—unless there's cake waiting around them! Cheers to another lap around life's track!
