John Didrik Haugland (born 23 September 1946 in Stavanger) is a Norwegian former rally driver. He competed in 27 world rally championship events,[1] more often than not at the wheel of a Škoda.[2] [3] He had four Top 10 finishes in his career.[1] Haugland debuted in his first rally in 1965,[4] and had over 100 class wins primarily in the 1970s and 1980s.[5]
He worked for the Norwegian Škoda importer as a teenager and they helped him in his rally career. His first race as an official Škoda driver came in 1968.[6] Haugland raced a few times for other, bigger teams, but preferred the camaraderie and open nature of the little Škoda team. Haugland also owned a Škoda dealership outside of Oslo.[6]
Haugland is educated as a car technician and has gained much experience and skill in developing racing cars.[2]
He currently works for a number of rally teams developing their cars as well as running a rally school for young drivers. Drivers who have attended his rally school include Petter Solberg, Richard Burns, Alister McRae, Martin Rowe, Mark Higgins, Guy Wilks and Luke Pinder.
