"British drivers in this year's Mote Carlo Rally received a questionnaire from Lucozade, and amongst the 84 drivers who returned it the preference for drinks was:-
Lucozade... ... ...79 (of these 18 drank only Lucozade during the rally; 46 also drank coffee).
Additional drink scores were:-
Alcohol ... ... ... ..9
Tea... ... ... ... ... 8
Orange Juice ... .4
Ribena ... ... ... ..3
Fruit Juice ... ... ..2
Soup... ... ... ... ..2
Hot Chocolate ...1
Water ... ... ... ... 1
Fifty-six drivers used glucose tablets or sweets as well as taking Lucozade. Sixty-eight liked large bottles of Lucozade., 10 would have rpeferred the small size and six had no preference. Thirty-three took the cardboard cups offered, 20 disliked them, three suggested straws should be used, 28 did not take the cups. Seventy-three found Lucozade a good thirst quencher, 50 said it kept them alert, 53 that it maintained their energy. In following the rally MOTOR SPORT got by on Lucozade, glucose, tea, coffee, Perrier and plenty of good French wine."
Didn't help them a great deal obviously. This was the winning car.
