Many thanks for posting these videos . I was employed by Michelin at the time of this event and with 3 others guys from Michelins UK factories , we were chosen to join the Michein media team ,and cover the event around the country, then send reports back to our respective factories to keep the workforce up-to-date with whats happening with th Michelin shod teams. We covered over 1500 miles over 5 days visiting M-Sport in Cumbria, before the event, and attending the Rally show in Chester the day before. This videos have brought wonderful memories back to me ,and hopefully to the lads i spent a short but fun and eye opening experience. Thanks

fairly certain Schwarz didn't even make the end of the season with Ford in 97.

[@wasi84]

Correct, he was fired after 6 rounds.

[@davey_projects2977]

Your channel is fantastic. Keep it up. Love the young Martin Brundle.

[@hazy33]

Not that young, he was 37 at the time.

Do you happen to have Day Two? I can't seem to find it if so. Many thanks for all the uploads thus far!

[@VHSRallies]

Yes, it was on the channel but appears to have been blocked in around 80% of countries because of one minute of music from Robert Miles. I will do a hasty YT edit and remove the music or the segment concerned so it should be back up in the coming days.

[@richardg5942]

@@VHSRallies Thank you so much. These videos bring so much enjoyment and entertainment, it is really appreciated.

[@craigpalmer347]

Great watch many thnx have you got 93 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@VHSRallies]

Yes, lots of it already on the channel, including a load of onbards with Kankkunen.

[@MrMcKane]

Brundles crash looked rather bad.
Was that one of Malcolms Escorts that Martin crashed? Malcolms barbs towards Martin were a bit vicious.

[@nicholasjones9705]

I think his Escort was prepared by a man called Mike Little.

[@maciekwysocki2009]

That was MLP Escort
