The snow certainly was lying thick in Kershope. Have fond memories walking the stage well before the cars came through. You could hear a pin drop. Think spectators were discouraged from going to Pundershaw or Shepherdshield - one of those. Good times - really enjoying these uploads.

Wonder how many people, like me, forgot all about the Mazdas? Great memories. Thanks

That was great! I just discovered your channel about an hour ago and I will be watching a whole lot more of your videos later, but now I am going to sleep, because it is 2.36am 😄.

Sleep

Flushing an oily clutch with Cola is something I've seen before. Many rallycross teams to this day have a 6-pack ready for service near their toolbox.

Thanks for sharing, loving this series. Was '88 a cold winter or signs of global warming....Admittedly I'm a Southerner but been 13c this week and they were rallying in ice in November!

The absolute class of these superhuman everymen (*and women)

[@granitebhoy830]

6 former world champions in the top ten! When was the last time spectators were treated to that. A proper rally when a number of drivers could be the overall winner.

Pentti Airikkala, the left foot braking academy master of class. 😁

[@gozza18.77]

Well william acknowledged his mistake in the earlier programme

[@rallyimpact]

And then said that kielder was in North Hampshire!

[@chunder27]

@@rallyimpact To be fair, they did this on a tight timescale, Woolers was a pro as were the rest of them, and they did an amazing job with half the people that modern tv folk use. Have to say Barrie Gill was not the best though, endless mistakes.

[@amphilbey]

@@rallyimpact That or Northamptonshire was it 😂

[@rallyimpact]

@@amphilbey haha indeed, kept it in line with the errors in the broadcast.....honestly 😆. Putting the errors aside, the programs were fantastic brings back the memories. I watched in lightwater valley and Dyfi that year.

[@amphilbey]

@@rallyimpact 👍Yes great memories. Miss the coverage nowadays and would be great to have major Rally GB event again to get the bobble hats out for

[@sporkybutterz]

Like lemmings...haha
