    I guess it's safe to say Kankkunen had one of the best car control skills of all time

      Easy motion on the wheel and nothing surreal like throwing the car full 120º like "rally simmers" do, amazing to watch something believable yet genious.

    Me and my mate made the journey from St Albans in my Mk2 escort to see this in 1993. We arrived at the snowy bank of parking, to play in the snow, while looking for a space. The stage was amazing, and seeing this skills of this man, and many others was inspiring. I think Robbie Head rolled the Megane that day, but might have been 1995. Anyway, the day was amazing, and on leaving the venue, the last runners were still running through. We got onto the gravel track to the main entrance as the group N cars were being watched by the spectators. My mate then says...give it some...so I honourably obliged. ( Now this was a rally prepared Escort), and to my mates delight we made so much noise on exit, that most of the spectators watching, turned around to see what all the noise was about...Marvellous!! We then had a fun journey back down the M1 in tandem with the Skoda rally team... Memories of bygone days, where you could drive properly. I think I have another Mk2 itch to scratch.

    • @nightowlrally
      @nightowlrally 11 месяцев назад

      Yep! That's what's known as a Scandinavian Flick, or a Pendulum Turn. You brake to load the front suspension and take the weight off the rear and guide the car first to the outside and then back to the inside.

    • @RABEANTs
      @RABEANTs 4 года назад +2

      I think with the time they re used to it, and of course you have to be comfortable with the language , noting that it is the driver who created those notes, and here the driver is a finnish native

    • @MisTomis
      @MisTomis 4 года назад +1

      it's a skill you learn like playing instrument, first you have to think about each finger placement etc and after some time you can play the same tune not thinking about it and having a chat with a friend.

    Much less stuff on the notes back then. It seems that drivers nowadays have too much information on the pacenotes, but on the other hand there were many places they didn´t mention about, mud or cutting or even a gate on that stage. Was there a limit on how many times they could practise a stage in early 90"s?

      @@forevercomputing I know how MPEG works. I'm just curious as to why you would expect anything else on a digital video website. The VHS Rallies project is about saving old VHS footage before it degrades beyond the point where it can't be digitised - or enjoyed by anyone, even on a VHS deck, because the tape has perished. I try my best to use sympathetic capture methods (lossless raw AVI, not MPEG) before restoration. But yes, in the end, they have to be output as something that isn't 30gb in size. I choose a fairly mild MP4 setting for that.
