6th place Kenjiro Shinozuka: 44 years and 13 days
Unlike Sainz, the Japanese driver raced for years in the WRC and in Dakar but he did this at the same time and always with Mitsubishi. With the Galant VR-4, he won two editions of the Ivory Coast Rally, the last on the World Championship calendar: in 1991 with a lead of over two hours over the runner up whereas the year after, he limited himself to beating Bruno Thiry by one hour 23 minutes and 18 seconds.
