However I am currently intrigued by this topic, I just can't get enough. Last night my wife and I ate dinner together on the couch while watching a 2 hour recap of the 1998 WRC season on youtube.

I can't wait for the book to come in. I read a chunk of it on goole books before they decided I had had enough of a preview.

Maybe you can answer this for me, but what was up with Mitsubishi's sponsors that year? In the beginning they had "Pall Mall" patches on their jumpsuits, replaced by a "questions mark", replaced my all "L's", replaced by Pall Mall again but this time with a "smoking kills" warning underneath.

Good one. I don't remember exactly but I do remember that it was around this time that folks in motorsports were starting to distance themselves from cigarette manufacturers. Look at how subaru re-designed the 555 logo on their car around that same time so that if you didn't even look at it closely you wouldn't even figure out the association. Doesn't matter much cause they switched to full Marlboro sponsorship from the season after if I remember it right.
Although sometimes the decals were blank, like at the 1999 season opener at Monte Carlo:
I wonder if it was based on the location? Like certain locations prohibited advertising for cigarette manufacturers? I don't know.
