Excellent engineering isn't an unfair advantage. This is why the audi and Nissan's r32. Dominated racing thru out the world. Both Perfectly engineered in my opinion .
Niki Lauda called Walter Röhrl "genius on wheels". Some even say he is the best rally driver of all time. He is even in the Finnish Hall of Fame of Motorsport, as a german. What this guy is capable of doing with a car is just unbeliebable.
Yeah he is very special. He didn't like road racing though because he didn't like direct competition, he once said that he simply wants to drive as fast and as best as he personally can, the other people in the race don't really count for him. Four times winner of Rallye Monte Carlo with four different cars says a lot though.
Too bad Audi's achievements on the track don't equal reliability in real life. Actually with broken gearboxes I guess It is. It was also admitted in this video that the American cars were far more powerful but obviously the Audi was at a big traction advantage, which it should be...it has awd and is lighter. Not apples to oranges. It would have been just as offset to put an Audi on an oval track with a NASCAR and been shocked the NASCAR was faster on a wide open track. The mistake with Audi was letting them on in the first place. Audi has achieved a lot, but nobody should be shocked a lighter awd car out turns a heavy rwd car anymore then anyone is surprised the awd R8 was leagues behind the rwd vettes on the races where top end mattered.

That's the problem with racing, being the best engineer is considered the "Unfair Advantage" Whether it's the AWD on Quattros, The twin turbos and AWD on the R32 GT-R, aerodynamics on the Superbird or the rotary in the 787B instead of making something that can compete with these new technologies and push racing and the auto industry forward many race organisations instead choose to stagnate never innovating on their own calling the technologies unfair and ban them. Imagine where Australia's car industry might be if Ford and Holden were forced to make something to rival the Skyline? Where we LMP cars be if Mazda were allowed to keep and perfect their rotary and other companies were forced to innovate to keep up? Were would NASCAR be if the other manufacturers had to make something to rival the superbird?
One thing that unfortunately goes along with better engineering, is cost. When cost gets prohibitive or excludes too many teams, the competition suffers and so the series suffers. I'd be more inclined to call money the "unfair advantage" before engineering. Sometimes a lack of money spurs the best engineering, then the teams with money have the new tech banned(cough, Ferrari). That's unfair.
The S4 was a blast to drive. It handled great and it had a comfortable, yet firm ride. Although it was stock (except for a massive open element air filter in a custom housing I made) it was very quick. Also very solid and quiet even at freeway speeds. It's a really good looking car and I got quite a few thumbs up when I drove it. Routine things like oil changes, air filter, etc. were relatively cheap. But I ran into two problems.....First, a failing "power steering pump" and leaky hoses. Second, the front differential bearings were quite noisy. It also needed a new clutch(the original had 100,500 miles on it). The pump, bearings, and clutch were just too expensive for me to replace.So I had to sell it.
I have a 2016 S5. Bought it used with 13k miles. Supercharged V6 and the handling is amazing. It's like driving on rails. My sports car is better in the snow than my mother's SUV.
I have driven (but not owned) the first three you list; wonderful cars to drive! The only , and expected drawback, was the understeer at very low speeds, say 20 MPH or less. That's where the better weight distribution of the Subaru AWDs has an advantage. In any event, one of my fond memories was accelerating full throttle in the 5000q through a frost heaved, poorly patched Pittsburgh curve. The car leaned some, but went perfectly across it like it was new pavement.
I watched Hans Stuck and Hurley Haywood race at Sears Point Raceway in Sonoma, California in the IMSA GTO series. Hans Stuck spun out about mid-race and was down a half of a lap. Hurley Hawood was then the leader. By the finish of the race Hans had not only regained that half a lap he had spread out his lead over Haywood and took the win. He also won Summit Point, Mid-Ohio, Heartland Park, Watkins Glen, Lime Rock and Laguna Seca Rousch Racing won 6 to his 7.
7:35 I had a 1990 Audi Quattro 90 20v that this car was based on. I lived in Seattle at the time (rainy) and raced SCCA autocross with a couple of friends. (1998-2001) I put a set of Yokohama's, I believe the wear rating was around 60, street legal but very sticky tires and proceeded to destroy anyone and everyone in the indexed competition. (PAX) the Z06's and Boxter's didn't have a chance if there was any precip. Good times.
With shitty box on box aerodynamics, a crude throttle body fuel injection system with a single un-heated oxygen sensor, and a hydraulically controlled automatic transmission. 16 is actually not that bad for what it was. But go ahead and be a dick. It's OK, 'cause we know you don't know shit about cars.
I remember vividly watching all this transpire in Trans Am and IMSA GTO. I was super interested at the time because my father's daily driver was a 5000 Quatro. The two seasons outlined in the later half of this video was some of the most dominating winning I've ever seen in any class of racing. Absolutely a blast to watch.
This is honestly better then the majority of the documentaries I see on TV nowadays, so much more straight and to the point. Also liked the ad break in there, such a throwback. Why dont we ever get voices like this in TV anymore??
5 Cylinders. I'm realy lousy at math. But 2 X 5 = 10, or at least I think so. Seems like Audi has done a few things with its 10 cylinder engines. At some point, they may just cut the V10 in half and come up with a five cylinder engine...again!
Music but oh so bad for the turbo hahaha. You are damaging the turbo by having the air flow back inside causing the sound. That's where a blow off valve comes in. But i guess since they change the turbo every race, it doesn't matter hahahaha
Wow, goosebumps at the childhood memories! One of the greatest things about the Safari Rally was that it negated the speed advantage to a great extent due to the unforgiving terrain. It became about skill and endurance rather than plain speed which kept other makes competitive to the Quattro, which was consequently by no means guaranteed of winning. The Americans and their much touted Dodge Ram Chargers found this out the hard way, lol. Some of the best times of my life, watching these machines fly past on Kenya's back roads as a kid.
My favourite thing about racing drivers is when they are in the zone they are literally in a trans and are not focusing on anything other than what they have to focus on. Before they are men, fathers, husbands, they are racing drivers first. crazy. love it
Walter Röhrl once said that the late Group B cars were so fast, that "if you wait until you feel something in the car it was the last time you felt something"
Great video. I especially enjoyed the comments made by Hans Stuck about changing his driving style (left foot braking) to maximize the advantage of AWD.
F1: mercedes dominated 2014 because of their inventive turbo system reaction: well they had the better idea and were smarter than us, I guess we need to better our systems to win. (basically same thing with LeMans but for prosche or audi) Us:Audi dominates racing series with intelligent engeneering, awd and small light and highly effective turbo engines that actually need drivers involvment with more than either gas or brake. reaction: THATS UNFAIR. they are using systems more advanced than our banal "nothing can displace displacement" v8's THEY MUST BE CHEATING, BAN IT
I saw that damn IMSA quattro at a little known race. Stuck my head in through the window just after it won and looked around. There was no one around. Wow that thing was blazing fast and you wouldn't believe the construction details. Group 44 was legendary. The cars are still in existence in a collection somewhere.
mimimiii, he's better, so we have to change the rules.. ridiculous! audi did NOT break any rules! just because the competitors were not able to invent something like audi did.
The Ford with the RS200 wasn't the only loser of Group B being cancelled. Ferrari had just finished the 288GTO which was supposed to compete in circuit races and tarmac ralleys, Austin had the V6 MiniMetro for rallying and Porsche the 959/961 which was designed to do everything. The Porsche did win the Paris Dakkar and its class at LeMans to be fair though.
I remember seeing these car racing as a kid!!! The sound!! The chirping and turbo sounds!!! It was awesome!!!!! I wish they could race again........... in the weather tech series GTLM class!!!!!
Seldom have I smile so much through a racing documentary (and boy I like them when they are good!) but this one is really good!!! Thanks for sharing :)
How very american. The Chevys and GM crap isn`t winning,change the rules. And when that doesn`t work,pretend they don`t exist and don`t invite them back.
I`ll shit on anyone who bans or finds an easy way out of beating/getting rid of serious oposition instead of working on their own game to catch up. I shit on them for banning Audi,i`ll shit on FIA for banning the Mazda/rotary,i shit on the Australians for banning the Nissan R32,i shit on Floyd Mayweather Jr for always wanting catchweight unless he was certain of the outcome. Floyd is a GREAT boxer but his BS with always wanting the playing field tipped in his favour tarnishes his whole legacy. The whole idea of finding an easy way out instead of upping your own game repulses me and needs to be shat on. So pretty much all i do is run around and shit on stuff :/
Yeah this behavior has lead to the state of most kinds of motorsport right now where every car is exactly the same. I like the times when it was as much a competition of who builds the best car as it was for who drives best.
They Didnt ban the 787B from Le Mans, They banned any car that wasnt using F1 Spec Engines, 787B wasn't very competitive in any other race it competed in, hence why mazda pulled out after the le mans win
Imagine if we knew back then what we know now: That in 2017 F1 cars would have 1.6 liter V6`s and the top class,fastest LeMans racers would be running on Diesel and 9 volt electric dildo engines. I remember thinking going from V12 to V10 was bad..... Not to mention the banning of Group B rally!!
The Balls on those Group B Drivers back in the day . To go so fasr with huge crowds parting like Moses parting Ghe Red Sea . The Female driver of the Quattro up Old Pikes Peak was Awesome too !!!
when you lose, let's change the rule! Just like WRC, when Mitsubishi employed electronically control transmission system and kept winning. WRC just banned them for the sake of the losing teams!!!
@AlexGRFan97 WRC and F1 can go fuck themselves with their literal libraries of regulations. Make cars go really really fast with a few smaller rules to make it a game. Sprinkle firefighters and medical teams accordingly all around the track. Done.
I remember that time, but I could only read about the race in the magazine... That's why I have watched this video more than 10 times and enjoy watching it every single time . I enjoy listening to every word they are saying in this video, every word about the race and that Audi and it's technology. How Audi could crucify every other car in their total disbelief..😂
loved the last commercial, I remembered Dave Winfield playing for the Angels in 1990-91 after watching him play live in the Bronx for ten years. Cecil Fielder winning a World Series with Jeter and the Yanx in 95... But don't get me wrong, the Quattro was just AWESOME!
I was at the rain race at mid-ohio. It was amazing to watch Stuck in the Audi. More than once I could see him wiping the fog off the inside of the windscreen with a rag with one hand and driving with the other. It didn't slow him down a bit. FYI - read the book (The Unfair Advantage) by Donohue. He defines it as finding an advantage by parsing the rules for little tweeks that others miss. Like using the brake hydraulics to pull the caliper pistons in when changing pads on a pit stop. Ingenious not really unfair. As far as the Audis being banned from Trans-am, while it would have been great for them to continue, they were radically different from the rest of the field. Most production based racing series (Europe too) are intended to race like against like, the all wheel drive was truly radical at the time and not at all like anything else. In that sense they seemed correct to exclude the cars. It's not like a Lotus Elan beating a V8 Camaro where the engineering is similar but executed differently, I.E. heavier with big power VS. light and quick. If Trans-am were a prototype class then no, they should not have banned them.
I have watched this documentary several times and boy I enjoy this.. I was a teenage boy when I saw this new kid, new Mohammed Ali, Mike Tyson in the racing rings.. Race tracks became a battlefield between the high-tech M16 rifle and primitive Bow and Arrow.... For me the Audi became the all mighty God in auto racing and manufacturing, and I still believe so... Ever since I drive only Audi.. when I could afford I drove the flagship Audi and when I'm broke (like now days) I drive a cheaper and older model.. BOY, If only Audi knows how many people I've convinced not to buy MB or BMW and go for Audi.? All because of my belief, Audi is in different a league, it's in a class of its own..
Jokes aside, it is really a good move to ban any sort of unfair advantage. One easy example would be the infamous "Fan car". If brabham keep it, and FIA not considering banning it, manufacture who can't or don't have enough budget to develop the system brabham invented would probably rule out of the championship and manufacture who had the money and brain would dominate and kill this thing called "competition". Other than speed or safety reasons, this inventions showed us how brilliant it is if engineers are capable to found a loophole and using it as much as possible to gain more advantage without breaking the rules
Thought about taking my Audi TT Quattro to Summit Point next year. Now I have to go, knowing it was one of the tracks that Audi used to build the hype around the Quattro system!
I had a 1990 Audi Quattro 200 back in college...5 speed, fully loaded, ahead of its time technically (digital gauges, 1,000 buttons like a cockpit). It was a dog off the line but when the turbo kicked in and having a lockable rear diff, it was a cool car. A big boat, but a cool car nonetheless. As far as the unfair/fairness in advantages..it depends on how you look at it. There are rules for a reason, to keep competition close. They don't allow 200lb wrestlers to wrestle in 135lb weight classes. They don't allow heavyweight champions to fight in the welterweight class. So once Audi introduced an AWD version..it was the racing commissions fault for not having rules to restrict drivetrain or weight or power...an advantage they didn't assume until it was introduced. So the new rules are not to cry about unfairness, its to keep the competition competitive. Every sport has rules..they're in place for a reason. I don't see it as the US being inferior, I see it as the US not having a necessity for AWD where rally driving wasn't as big. The V8 Cobra was introduced and made Ferrari look bad, but I don't consider Ferrari inferior...nor Cobra superior. The advantages were introduced from an angle the norm had not considered and it changed how things were done. The geographics of countries also dictates how they adapt technology into it...America has A LOT of open, big roads. We have bigger cars, engines, less population density requiring condensed roads and small towns/villages. Europe has a lot of twisty roads, narrow..where big trucks simply cant traverse. Its a product of its environment. Comparing one car from a country that built its car for a reason to another is silly. Adapting the advantages to make what you have more efficient however, makes sense.
i think audi didnt care that much. i think they wanted to show off what they are able to. since the americans laughed about them. also it was a huge PR attack on the market in the US. since everybody thought audis are boring and volkswagen were picking on them because inside the vw group they werent doing well and vw had to pump money into audi.
If the NBA made it illegal to have anyone over 6' on the team because it's an unfair advantage, that'd suck. What about usain bolt? Or Michael Phelps? Have they not an unfair advantage?
@@GerBarne apples to chestnuts really. Why not let Michael Phelps compete against 2 year olds? Why not have Usain Bolt compete against middle school students? Why not let me run a ZR1 in the MX5 road races? Use logic...
@@dham99 if there was a middle school student who could run as quickly as usain bolt, we probably would let them compete against him. Maybe we'd make them wait until they were 18. I get the argument about sportsmanship and good spectacle. But Audi didn't break any rules, and instead of the other teams rising to their challenge, they banned them.
Audi had a clear disadvantage on the straightaways. They was established in the video. Remember that when the Audi 200 debuted in the Trans Am, everyone kind of laughed at it. So, the organizers were smart and left the car alone. And, it is not silly to compare cars from one country to another. That is what motorsport is all about. Or maybe you didn't care when Ford took it to Ferrari at LeMans from 1966 to 1969. 24 hour European endurance races was not something Americans were building cars for, but Ford said that they would defeat the Europeans at their own game, and they proved it. Sorry, but your comments don't ring true.
Genius Engineers: Design and build from scratch machines faster than everyone else Racers who lost: You can't do that it's not fair Racing rules: You can't do that
say what you want about American cars. my friends m3 needs constant expensive maintenance, valve adjustments, etc while my 17 year old corvette is faster, has more grip, has a real manual transmission, gets beat on constantly, and needs nothing but an oil change now and then. yep its got a plastic dash. is that what you're looking at going 150?
but every car has it's own advantage because awd also gives more resistance I can keeo going about all types of cars but still let someone be happy with the setup and look and everything else he is happy with. because a koeningsegg agera RS is also RWD and it is faste in a0 to 60 mph/0 to 100 kph than a Chiron and that one is awd but the cornering like you see in the vid would propably be better in the Chiron so awd does not always proof it is better
I had a 1986 Audi 4000 CS Quattro with a stick. My fondest memory with it was one morning after eight inches of snow, the snowplows hadn't gotten to the fast lane on the interstate and I drove it at highway speed with a huge roostertail of snow behind me the whole way to work. Not bad for just having all season radials on it.

Left foot braking while on power... The brakes must have been glowing at the end of the race!
I watched rallies for 20+ years. The brakes would be glowing in less than 5 miles! That's where you go to racing pads, rotors, and brake fluid. The pads won't work well unTIL you get them warm. Then they work great! I miss the night stages at STPR in Pennsylvania. From the correct vantage point, you could see the glow from the Audi brakes AND turbo!
Yes! welcome to my intellect ''Group 44 Inc'' Europe's Man makers and Legends in the Automotive world, Too much for the ''Jarheads'' with the bigger Guns... Aye! Free Scotland!! (from the UK).... And Peace on our Planet!

I love that this still has the commercials in it and you don't see one for 20 minutes! Today there's one every couple minutes. Also a great racing documentary. Although it ended very abruptly. I was like that's it? lol
And then you had Nissan 10 years later doing the exact same thing with their AWD system in Japan and everywhere else they went. Even getting close to being thrown off the oval in the US too where they babied a R32 around the track, but the officials still noticed the car's capabilities. (That video is on RUclips of that run, some home video recorded footage of the R32 GT-R. search for Rolex Daytona to find it) But it is these machines that makes excellent road cars later, and which is why I believe it is important to demand road car production of the race machines. Otherwise all you get is like Peugeot and Citroens today, boring FF machines that doesn't have much in common with their WRC counterparts.
I knew there was something special about the quattro ever since i hit the first corner everything they are saying about it is 100% true the quattro really is the best for the power it has and it's never about how the road is it's how ever the driver wants to attack
John Buffum is an American rallying icon and living legend! He and his Libra Racing team won more rallies in the USA than anyone durring the '70s - '90s. I've talked with him. He's a neat guy.

(1998-2001) I put a set of Yokohama's, I believe the wear rating was around 60, street legal but very sticky tires and proceeded to destroy anyone and everyone in the indexed competition. (PAX) the Z06's and Boxter's didn't have a chance if there was any precip. Good times.
what a genius, the best foot work on this planet
I'm sure Rohl taught Stuck the rally spool up techniques.
"At GMC Truck we make fuel economy a priority." 16 mpg. XD XD XD
lol
That was pretty decent for the day. Remember those trucks are still stupid heavy and strong.
Still better than a 2017 Toyota Tundra.
It's a truck. It's bigger and heavier. It gets worse mileage. Grow up.
ootdega Would you like calamine lotion for that butt hurt?
With shitty box on box aerodynamics, a crude throttle body fuel injection system with a single un-heated oxygen sensor, and a hydraulically controlled automatic transmission.
16 is actually not that bad for what it was. But go ahead and be a dick. It's OK, 'cause we know you don't know shit about cars.
11:20, that has to be one of the most epic overtakes I have ever seen! Just brilliant!
I remember vividly watching all this transpire in Trans Am and IMSA GTO. I was super interested at the time because my father's daily driver was a 5000 Quatro. The two seasons outlined in the later half of this video was some of the most dominating winning I've ever seen in any class of racing. Absolutely a blast to watch.
This is honestly better then the majority of the documentaries I see on TV nowadays, so much more straight and to the point. Also liked the ad break in there, such a throwback. Why dont we ever get voices like this in TV anymore??
I remember when Audi first made 5 cylinder engines, the "experts" said that this would never work properly.
Never underestimate the Germans. 😉
@@FAT8893 never overestimate the experts
Err...... Why do i suddenly thinking about RC211V motorcycle?
Well, I guess i was just me!
I had a '56 Mercedes 180 or 190....
It had a in-line 5 cylinder w/ dual carbs. and 4 on the tree...
It worked very good !
5 Cylinders. I'm realy lousy at math. But 2 X 5 = 10, or at least I think so. Seems like Audi has done a few things with its 10 cylinder engines. At some point, they may just cut the V10 in half and come up with a five cylinder engine...again!
i will never forget hearing one of those audis at goodwood festival a few years ago, the turbo fluttering sounded incredible
got to love the quattro"s flutter bwaaaaaapflutututututu
Donovan Van Der Weerd got an 5 cyl. Turbo b4 Audi s2. Love it so much!
yup !!! the best music to my ears !!!!!
The high boost pressure ran has a lot to do with that.
yeah but it was an amazing car !!!
Music but oh so bad for the turbo hahaha. You are damaging the turbo by having the air flow back inside causing the sound. That's where a blow off valve comes in. But i guess since they change the turbo every race, it doesn't matter hahahaha
I love this video. I must have seen it a hundred times. Racing in the 70's/80's/early 90's was fantastic! Vrrrooouuuummm...tutututututu! 🖤
Nascar does not want you to see this. Awesome video!
Wow, goosebumps at the childhood memories! One of the greatest things about the Safari Rally was that it negated the speed advantage to a great extent due to the unforgiving terrain. It became about skill and endurance rather than plain speed which kept other makes competitive to the Quattro, which was consequently by no means guaranteed of winning. The Americans and their much touted Dodge Ram Chargers found this out the hard way, lol. Some of the best times of my life, watching these machines fly past on Kenya's back roads as a kid.
My favourite thing about racing drivers is when they are in the zone they are literally in a trans and are not focusing on anything other than what they have to focus on. Before they are men, fathers, husbands, they are racing drivers first. crazy. love it
This is the best 23 min on car porn for gasoline heads on youtube , Very smart to cut this from the orginal film ! :)
thedriver133 what original film ?
@@abdurrahmanmoustapha This
@@abdurrahmanmoustapha I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the film is called "Secrets of Speed."
"With these cars, if your thinking. Your too slow." An amazing quote for group B as a whole...
That overtake straight out of a right-hander at 11:20 godlike!
Proper!👌🏼💪🏼
The German Popometer was the unfair Advantage
Walter Röhrl once said that the late Group B cars were so fast, that "if you wait until you feel something in the car it was the last time you felt something"
Great video. I especially enjoyed the comments made by Hans Stuck about changing his driving style (left foot braking) to maximize the advantage of AWD.
Recently picked up a B5 S4 and MAN the Quattro system is amazing! You feel really confident in turns.
Love the part when they talk about Rohrl road racing. Just a rally legend showing up to show the kids how a quattro car works.
Quattro all wheeled drive wasn’t an unfair advantage it was pure genius.
F1: mercedes dominated 2014 because of their inventive turbo system
reaction: well they had the better idea and were smarter than us, I guess we need to better our systems to win.
(basically same thing with LeMans but for prosche or audi)
Us:Audi dominates racing series with intelligent engeneering, awd and small light and highly effective turbo engines that
actually need drivers involvment with more than either gas or brake.
reaction: THATS UNFAIR. they are using systems more advanced than our banal "nothing can displace displacement" v8's
THEY MUST BE CHEATING, BAN IT
MigotRen That's the typical reaction I've come to expect from the US and UK. Anything they don't understand must be prohibited. Sad way to be
MigotRen clap
because they themselves have an unfair advantage, geography
It happend in F1 as well, but only because of the same reasons as said in the indycar bit. Because it was too far from conventional car construction.
After the F1 was sold to an american company, they force the teams to use simplier engines without the new turbo tech for 2020.
I remember Audi kicking ass in the Trans Am and GTO races and it was sad that the Quattro cars were banned.
So far ahead of their time. Audi won so much, quattro was banned. Then Audi took out full page magazine ads to flaunt it, lol
That “Specialty prepared Quattro” is BAD 🔥 🔥
it’s a tradition to watch this at least once a year 😂
I got in trouble with the Finnish customs officer who did not believe that a car could have 5 cylinders!
lol that is hilarious
I saw that damn IMSA quattro at a little known race. Stuck my head in through the window just after it won and looked around. There was no one around. Wow that thing was blazing fast and you wouldn't believe the construction details. Group 44 was legendary. The cars are still in existence in a collection somewhere.
mimimiii, he's better, so we have to change the rules.. ridiculous! audi did NOT break any rules! just because the competitors were not able to invent something like audi did.
Ford rs200 was built and they couldn't even use it because of the timing of the rule change
hehaheadshot97 the rs200came to late, with the Portugal accident weeks after the escorts arrival, the group game was up.
They have Donald Trump as the president, what more can we say.
Ford's been killin' people since the 1900s as it seems...
The Ford with the RS200 wasn't the only loser of Group B being cancelled. Ferrari had just finished the 288GTO which was supposed to compete in circuit races and tarmac ralleys, Austin had the V6 MiniMetro for rallying and Porsche the 959/961 which was designed to do everything. The Porsche did win the Paris Dakkar and its class at LeMans to be fair though.
I remember seeing these car racing as a kid!!! The sound!! The chirping and turbo sounds!!! It was awesome!!!!! I wish they could race again........... in the weather tech series GTLM class!!!!!
Thanks for posting this. I used to have this VHS, but I loaned it out and it never came back. Wonderful to see it again.
The five-cylinder was just a great engine.
Der Fünf Zylinder war einfach ein geiler Motor.
'Was' he said.
Hmpf!
Yes
Seldom have I smile so much through a racing documentary (and boy I like them when they are good!) but this one is really good!!! Thanks for sharing :)
How very american. The Chevys and GM crap isn`t winning,change the rules. And when that doesn`t work,pretend they don`t exist and don`t invite them back.
I`ll shit on anyone who bans or finds an easy way out of beating/getting rid of serious oposition instead of working on their own game to catch up. I shit on them for banning Audi,i`ll shit on FIA for banning the Mazda/rotary,i shit on the Australians for banning the Nissan R32,i shit on Floyd Mayweather Jr for always wanting catchweight unless he was certain of the outcome. Floyd is a GREAT boxer but his BS with always wanting the playing field tipped in his favour tarnishes his whole legacy. The whole idea of finding an easy way out instead of upping your own game repulses me and needs to be shat on. So pretty much all i do is run around and shit on stuff :/
Yeah this behavior has lead to the state of most kinds of motorsport right now where every car is exactly the same. I like the times when it was as much a competition of who builds the best car as it was for who drives best.
They Didnt ban the 787B from Le Mans, They banned any car that wasnt using F1 Spec Engines, 787B wasn't very competitive in any other race it competed in, hence why mazda pulled out after the le mans win
If it wasn't a 3.5L V10 then it's banned, not just rotaries
Imagine if we knew back then what we know now: That in 2017 F1 cars would have 1.6 liter V6`s and the top class,fastest LeMans racers would be running on Diesel and 9 volt electric dildo engines.
I remember thinking going from V12 to V10 was bad..... Not to mention the banning of Group B rally!!
Those cars were an absolute joy to watch. Just dominant. Head and shoulders above the competition.
It always amazes me to see the spectators at the rally races barely avoiding being roadkill.
The Balls on those Group B Drivers back in the day . To go so fasr with huge crowds parting like Moses parting Ghe Red Sea . The Female driver of the Quattro up Old Pikes Peak was Awesome too !!!
when you lose, let's change the rule! Just like WRC, when Mitsubishi employed electronically control transmission system and kept winning. WRC just banned them for the sake of the losing teams!!!
@AlexGRFan97 WRC and F1 can go fuck themselves with their literal libraries of regulations.
Make cars go really really fast with a few smaller rules to make it a game. Sprinkle firefighters and medical teams accordingly all around the track. Done.
@@MycketTuff WRC is way faster than group B as it is right now.
Thanks for sharing. Such a quality piece on the early years of the Quattro.
Thanks for the nice comment :)
I remember that time, but I could only read about the race in the magazine... That's why I have watched this video more than 10 times and enjoy watching it every single time . I enjoy listening to every word they are saying in this video, every word about the race and that Audi and it's technology. How Audi could crucify every other car in their total disbelief..😂
I saw this back in the day on ESPN and I remember some of it for years. Seeing it now brought back great memories. Such and awesome documentary
loved the last commercial, I remembered Dave Winfield playing for the Angels in 1990-91 after watching him play live in the Bronx for ten years. Cecil Fielder winning a World Series with Jeter and the Yanx in 95... But don't get me wrong, the Quattro was just AWESOME!

I was at the rain race at mid-ohio. It was amazing to watch Stuck in the Audi. More than once I could see him wiping the fog off the inside of the windscreen with a rag with one hand and driving with the other. It didn't slow him down a bit. FYI - read the book (The Unfair Advantage) by Donohue. He defines it as finding an advantage by parsing the rules for little tweeks that others miss. Like using the brake hydraulics to pull the caliper pistons in when changing pads on a pit stop. Ingenious not really unfair. As far as the Audis being banned from Trans-am, while it would have been great for them to continue, they were radically different from the rest of the field. Most production based racing series (Europe too) are intended to race like against like, the all wheel drive was truly radical at the time and not at all like anything else. In that sense they seemed correct to exclude the cars. It's not like a Lotus Elan beating a V8 Camaro where the engineering is similar but executed differently, I.E. heavier with big power VS. light and quick. If Trans-am were a prototype class then no, they should not have banned them.
Best Audi Quattro documentation ever! If you Americans know something, than how to present stuff in the best way possible!
I have watched this documentary several times and boy I enjoy this..
I was a teenage boy when I saw this new kid, new Mohammed Ali, Mike Tyson in the racing rings.. Race tracks became a battlefield between the high-tech M16 rifle and primitive Bow and Arrow....
For me the Audi became the all mighty God in auto racing and manufacturing, and I still believe so... Ever since I drive only Audi.. when I could afford I drove the flagship Audi and when I'm broke (like now days) I drive a cheaper and older model..
BOY, If only Audi knows how many people I've convinced not to buy MB or BMW and go for Audi.? All because of my belief, Audi is in different a league, it's in a class of its own..
Basically America cried like a little girl when the Quattros beat them to the curb.
Can’t believe they didn’t bother engineering AWD drive systems. Fucking losers lmao
Well... They all laughed at hans until he brought the flammenwerfer.
But yo... This is some initial d stuff right here when hans explained he had to use his left foot to break and shit...
Man, those 5cyl engines sound gorgeous
We have learned nothing about making dokumentaries. This is really great stuff.
That turbo noise and the best thing I've ever heard holy hell
All that “Vorsprung Durch Technik” helped of course.. 🤓
"unfair" must come from a bad looser! XD
Jean Katana loser*
Yes, from a kinf od a "Thrump character"
@@yammmit no
@@iamincrediblystupidbut4364 Yes.
Jokes aside, it is really a good move to ban any sort of unfair advantage. One easy example would be the infamous "Fan car". If brabham keep it, and FIA not considering banning it, manufacture who can't or don't have enough budget to develop the system brabham invented would probably rule out of the championship and manufacture who had the money and brain would dominate and kill this thing called "competition". Other than speed or safety reasons, this inventions showed us how brilliant it is if engineers are capable to found a loophole and using it as much as possible to gain more advantage without breaking the rules
12:50 Stuck ain't SHOOK!
waddup boi?
Porsche did 9/11
Ain't SHIT gonna stop Audi.
Viva la Quattro.
I wondered why you‘d comment on a video like this.
But then I remembered you have an Audi fetish.
Holy crap its armoured skeptic
So happy to see this pop up in my list. I remember watching this episode when it first aired and it has always stuck in my mind...
Thought about taking my Audi TT Quattro to Summit Point next year. Now I have to go, knowing it was one of the tracks that Audi used to build the hype around the Quattro system!
One of my favorite parts in this video is at 2:55 and 3:40
I had a 1990 Audi Quattro 200 back in college...5 speed, fully loaded, ahead of its time technically (digital gauges, 1,000 buttons like a cockpit). It was a dog off the line but when the turbo kicked in and having a lockable rear diff, it was a cool car. A big boat, but a cool car nonetheless.
As far as the unfair/fairness in advantages..it depends on how you look at it. There are rules for a reason, to keep competition close. They don't allow 200lb wrestlers to wrestle in 135lb weight classes. They don't allow heavyweight champions to fight in the welterweight class. So once Audi introduced an AWD version..it was the racing commissions fault for not having rules to restrict drivetrain or weight or power...an advantage they didn't assume until it was introduced. So the new rules are not to cry about unfairness, its to keep the competition competitive. Every sport has rules..they're in place for a reason.
I don't see it as the US being inferior, I see it as the US not having a necessity for AWD where rally driving wasn't as big. The V8 Cobra was introduced and made Ferrari look bad, but I don't consider Ferrari inferior...nor Cobra superior. The advantages were introduced from an angle the norm had not considered and it changed how things were done. The geographics of countries also dictates how they adapt technology into it...America has A LOT of open, big roads. We have bigger cars, engines, less population density requiring condensed roads and small towns/villages. Europe has a lot of twisty roads, narrow..where big trucks simply cant traverse. Its a product of its environment. Comparing one car from a country that built its car for a reason to another is silly. Adapting the advantages to make what you have more efficient however, makes sense.
i think audi didnt care that much. i think they wanted to show off what they are able to. since the americans laughed about them. also it was a huge PR attack on the market in the US. since everybody thought audis are boring and volkswagen were picking on them because inside the vw group they werent doing well and vw had to pump money into audi.
If the NBA made it illegal to have anyone over 6' on the team because it's an unfair advantage, that'd suck. What about usain bolt? Or Michael Phelps? Have they not an unfair advantage?
@@GerBarne apples to chestnuts really. Why not let Michael Phelps compete against 2 year olds? Why not have Usain Bolt compete against middle school students? Why not let me run a ZR1 in the MX5 road races? Use logic...
@@dham99 if there was a middle school student who could run as quickly as usain bolt, we probably would let them compete against him. Maybe we'd make them wait until they were 18.
I get the argument about sportsmanship and good spectacle. But Audi didn't break any rules, and instead of the other teams rising to their challenge, they banned them.
Audi had a clear disadvantage on the straightaways. They was established in the video. Remember that when the Audi 200 debuted in the Trans Am, everyone kind of laughed at it. So, the organizers were smart and left the car alone. And, it is not silly to compare cars from one country to another. That is what motorsport is all about. Or maybe you didn't care when Ford took it to Ferrari at LeMans from 1966 to 1969. 24 hour European endurance races was not something Americans were building cars for, but Ford said that they would defeat the Europeans at their own game, and they proved it. Sorry, but your comments don't ring true.
Ferdinant piech was one of the most memorable and highly influential men in german automaking history
That is real race car driving. The pinnacle of automotive racing.
Two legends - Walter Röhrl and his Audi Sport S1 quattro.

Genius Engineers: Design and build from scratch machines faster than everyone else
Racers who lost: You can't do that it's not fair
Racing rules: You can't do that
"Unfair Advantage",more like bad engeneering by american car manufacturers :D
Paolo Mo so butt hurt they lost they weren't invited back man that had me laughing
If american car makers would not have bad engineering they would have no engineering at all.
say what you want about American cars. my friends m3 needs constant expensive maintenance, valve adjustments, etc while my 17 year old corvette is faster, has more grip, has a real manual transmission, gets beat on constantly, and needs nothing but an oil change now and then. yep its got a plastic dash. is that what you're looking at going 150?
but every car has it's own advantage because awd also gives more resistance I can keeo going about all types of cars but still let someone be happy with the setup and look and everything else he is happy with. because a koeningsegg agera RS is also RWD and it is faste in a0 to 60 mph/0 to 100 kph than a Chiron and that one is awd but the cornering like you see in the vid would propably be better in the Chiron so awd does not always proof it is better
what m3 needs valve adjustment??
Left foot breaking was not a new technique. It was used on FWD cars before this. In particular the SAAB Rally drivers perfected it.
What awesome memories this video brought back. Always an Audi fan!
I had a 1986 Audi 4000 CS Quattro with a stick. My fondest memory with it was one morning after eight inches of snow, the snowplows hadn't gotten to the fast lane on the interstate and I drove it at highway speed with a huge roostertail of snow behind me the whole way to work. Not bad for just having all season radials on it.
Left foot braking while on power... The brakes must have been glowing at the end of the race!
Māris Samats make them bigger!😎
brake boosting ftw
I watched rallies for 20+ years. The brakes would be glowing in less than 5 miles! That's where you go to racing pads, rotors, and brake fluid. The pads won't work well unTIL you get them warm. Then they work great! I miss the night stages at STPR in Pennsylvania. From the correct vantage point, you could see the glow from the Audi brakes AND turbo!
There‘s a good reason for air intakes on the outside of the rims...
Yea buddy there's scenes in the dark with red glowing disks

This is the best ad for Audi ever.
I love that this still has the commercials in it and you don't see one for 20 minutes! Today there's one every couple minutes. Also a great racing documentary. Although it ended very abruptly. I was like that's it? lol
And then you had Nissan 10 years later doing the exact same thing with their AWD system in Japan and everywhere else they went.
Even getting close to being thrown off the oval in the US too where they babied a R32 around the track, but the officials still noticed the car's capabilities. (That video is on RUclips of that run, some home video recorded footage of the R32 GT-R. search for Rolex Daytona to find it)
But it is these machines that makes excellent road cars later, and which is why I believe it is important to demand road car production of the race machines.
Otherwise all you get is like Peugeot and Citroens today, boring FF machines that doesn't have much in common with their WRC counterparts.
CMDR Sweeper a
I agree. Top Gear went over modern Peugeots. Theyre a nightmare :(
Wait modern WRC aren't homologated?!
Lol'd at that GMC commercial.
I knew there was something special about the quattro ever since i hit the first corner everything they are saying about it is 100% true the quattro really is the best for the power it has and it's never about how the road is it's how ever the driver wants to attack
John Buffum is an American rallying icon and living legend! He and his Libra Racing team won more rallies in the USA than anyone durring the '70s - '90s. I've talked with him. He's a neat guy.
Those commercials bring me to tears. I miss the 90's
"In 1981 Audi found the secret at last, a center differential", something Jeep was using in the 1970's and AMC put in the first mass produced AWD car, the AMC Eagle, in 1979.
Soo, why didn't they use it then?
