    I was there that year with few friends, on one of the first stages after Kankkunen got 4wd back on service. Other top factory drivers came first, very fast as usual, then some slower cars before slightly longer gap and we knew that he had been given a little bit extra space in front of him which was of course very reasonable, everyone knew that he would be fast. But no one of us guessed even close how fast...
    Banging was the first sign he was coming, still took almost 2 minutes before he was there. We had a good spot where we could see a long part of stage and we were going to take some pictures. We forgot cameras completely when we saw how incredibly fast he was coming from previous corners and what lines he took over ditch edges, those were just so... unbelievable.
    There was one curve where the ditch bank on forest side rose way above road. He didn't lift at all when he got to that corner (others had braked) and we really thought that there is not a slightest chance even him could keep that car on the road through that curve with that speed, this would be the end of his rally as he would roll very, very far away from the road.
    Others had kept front wheel slightly on that ditch but not even close to what Kankkunen did. He just forced the car sideways well before the curve (somehow it seemed so easy), left a veeeery long line to that opposite bank with his front bumper, his other front wheel almost on that ditch too, still flat out and the exit speed from that curve was on totally another level compared to others, one or two gears higher.
    It took us some time to fully realize what we had seen. Rally driving on a level that most likely none of us would never see again. And never did. We couldn't understand how he could keep the car on the road at the speeds he was going compared to others even though we were already "veterans" in rally spectating. The speed difference to other factory drivers through those corners was like WRC/national class type of difference.
    None of us was much disappointed about the fact we didn't get any pictures because those wouldn't have been able to tell the real story of what happened. If only we have had a video camera then and managed to record that... Would have been that "once in a lifetime" clip.
    For me and my friends Kankkunen will always be the greatest rally driver ever no matter how many titles others get. He was just.. phenomenal when he got into that complete attack mode.

      @@Snarl616 For over 45 years it has been about the team... which is fine by me. The Stratos won not because of the drivers, or even the car, it was the revolutionary strategy of the team. Audi drivers primarily won because of the car, at least until it became clear that their tech advantage was being surpassed by both other teams and their cars. No one in their right mind would ever argue that Hannu, Stig and Walter weren't the best drivers of their days, but they weren't always enough . These facts are what made Ari's world championship win so special. That fact that David Sutton was able to put together a team that solidly beat the big boys in still amazing!
      As for the length, I agree with you, rallying has become formulaic. We need the mayhem of greater distance to bring back more variation. Not a lot mind you. The 1985 RAC and '86 Monte were nuts, but maybe another 100km of special stage would be nice.

      I get the romance around group B and older rallying in general (ESPECIALLY with lancia...god I love those cars) but the cars running today are the fastest to ever rally. The driving is incredible-to say it’s just about money and not about skill is completely ridiculous. Especially since the WRC itself is not doing great at the moment. Not that much money to be had.

      It was a turbo restrictor cheat. They were caught in 1995, disqualified from 1995 championships and excluded from entering 1996 as works entry. I'm not sure it has been suggested that they had been using it prior to 1995?

    And that was the reason why Finnish rally drivers are the best, and Juha is one of them... He made a mistake that caused his car to be badly damaged and being in 76th position after that accident, bu he didn't gave up, he continued racing and with a damaged car, he moved up 67(!) positions and he finished in top 10... And of course this performance showed how amazingly talented were the Finnish drivers back then...
