The not very random Rally video thread.....

[Steve PH]

Currently I'm having a bit of a nostalgia fest, largely thanks to good old youtube. Growing up in England during the eighties the highlight of my year was always the British round of the World Rally Championship (also helped by the fact that other rallys may have been televised but were hidden away in the TV schedules).

So I figured some of you lot might appreciate some of these videos, its gotta make a change from NASCAR hasn't it?!

The first short vid is from 1979, to be honest I would have been about four at the time so its a little before my time but its got some interesting cars like the Lancia Stratos and Triumph TR8 but also lots and lots of Ford Escorts......



Now this is getting into my era 1984, the emergence of Group B



1985 Group B now in full swing, great footage in two parts, shame about the irritating commentator!

P1


P2


(I'm hoping the rest of this footage makes its way onto Youtube at some point)

1986 (Myspace vid so not embeded but worth a look)

Now this is from 1993, Group B is long dead but Juha's Celica GT4 and Colin's Impreza still lool pretty impressive.



I'll add more should I find any good quality clips.

That History of Porsche in rallying vid is good until it gets to the Cayenne segment (boo hiss!).

Today I really like this, shame the quality isn't better.

Rally ace Stig Blomqvist (not to be confused with "The Stig") takes his old dance partner the Audi Sport Quattro S1 for a blast through some closed roads in the French Alps. He has still got the moves!
