I love this era so much... The cars, the drivers, the sideways RWD action.... Thank you!

Henri was pure genius at the wheel, just look at this how quickly he returned his positions from 7 minutes (!) behind to leading overall, but even gain his advantage over 5 minutes ahead (!). It is just so incredible.. I'm always watching for his racing lines when he tooks close and fast movements , very agile at almost any point. What a racing chad he always was...

[@WerdnaLiten]

Great stuff!! When rallies were proper endurance events.....

incredible Marathon unthinkable today 615 stage miles or 1000 kilometres of stage driving..Coleman gambled on a Pace that would preserve his Opel as much as possible, but also the risk of going to far in Arrears is a danger, But he must be complimented on never getting in to an unnessarry shoot out until the final leg,great Memories 🎉@paddy Sullivan 📼 videos 1990s ireland

[@arigato7788]

Damn the aerials on the Sunbeams and the Chevette were absolutely huge, what's up with those

[@creepingjesus5106]

Old school, low tech CB radios on board. Out in the sticks you need all the aerial you can fit, to talk to your service crew!

Thanks for the visit

[@garywhite1]

Great video I was wondering if you could get the '79-'83 rothmans

[@VHSRallies]

You mean the Circuit? It was Benson & Hedges in quite a few of those years. I have them but... rights issues. I'm trying to find a solution.

[@garywhite1]

@@VHSRallies interesting I think rothmans didn't being the sponsor until '82 or something close to that ok let me do some research on it and I'll get back to you and let you know what I find out

[@nikonfx8763]

was that the famous MCD MK2 that Vatanen had driven by warren Craig,?

[@VHSRallies]

Think it might have been a sister vehicle, as driven by Roger Clark and, on one occasion, Billy Coleman.

Man Russel Brooks would have Won many more Champs, if his cars didnt allways break a dam prop shaft, or blow engine... lol. i dont think his true patential was ever really shown.
