Actually the guy I think you're referring to is a New Zealander, Rod Millen. He was a successful pro rally & hill climb driver from the late 70's thru early 90's, who campaigned a number of Mazda's that included RX3's, AWD first-gen RX7's, 323's and this 20B powered FC you see being restored in this linked Speedhunter article, before he started racing for Toyota.
