These were proper rally days, all through the night, the noise awesome and the car never straight!!Vatanen, Mikkola and Makinen were gods, with roger Clark not far behind. They were brilliant rallies when you could almost watch every stage i.e no traffic and easy forest access. The bowl at Ceri being the best loose stuff and Epynt for tarmac!!!!
Thrilled to locate this collage...sad to realise that Tony Pond , Pentii and no doubt many others are no longer with us...their legacy will doubtless live-on..... Allan Phillips formerly the BBC's World Rally Championship correspondent

Ari is my all time favourite driver!

Great video, I appreciate they only have so much film time, but it would be nice to see some of the lower numbers perform !!
