1993 Network Q RAC Rally, in-car with Kankkunen and Grist - SS2 Weston Park (4.10km)

[@christhomas2644]

Unbelievable car control in very tricky conditions. Next level

[@VHSRallies]

It really is!

[@SuperOrbit69]

That was bloody lovely! Brilliant driving by Juha. Interesting to note that he was beaten on the stage by Gwyndaf Evans in the Group N Escort Cosworth.

[@disasterdriver1305]

This is intense, the stage is so narrow and slippery.

[@Rontti]

Old incars are always welcome, thanks!

[@carcontrolcommitment]

these particular videos are gold. I am guessing that they were saved by someone in the BBC production team for the 93 event and were never destined for broadcast? Some editor/directed decided that the stuff that was broadcast was enough? And luckily for us someone else took the view to keep the tapes? And here we are!

[@VHSRallies]

Glad you're enjoying them.

[@handbrakebob]

Why doesn't the WRC use this camera angle anymore? The Gp.A cars might be slow by comparison with the modern stuff, but they're so much more interesting. A proper handful and a joy to watch.

[@ianpurcell7266]

And they used a conventional gear stick.wrc cars now are boring yokes.

[@JamesScantlebury]

Because the seats are now so much further back in the car - think how much "bigger" cars have got since the 1990s - this camera angle is now impossible!

[@TorAndreBrresen]

@@JamesScantlebury It's far from impossible but the FIA now have a rule that you can't mount a camera between the seats, at the same hight as the co driver seat flap is perfect. Done that in a Fiesta WRC

[@Zero_Ninety]

Tor Andre Børresen What a retarded rule, this is the best in car camera angle. I love being able to see what the driver is doing.

[@ilkkak3065]

​@@JamesScantlebury ordinary cars are bigger, but Celica was 400mm and Mitsu 300mm longer than Yaris Rally 1 is.

[@tonythemadbrit9479]

Thanks for the video. The pace notes having ice warnings show that an ice noting crew probably went through the stage a couple of hours before it was run, which I don't think was allowed in those days (even using notes was fairly new to UK stage rallies at that time). Not criticizing Juha or Nicky, just pointing out the historical aspect (I illegally used notes on many rallies, as did many co drivers in the 80s and 90s). It may also be that the organizers provided crews with a bulletin with warnings about where ice was seen.

[@goncalogalhoz3833]

This is pure WRC

[@Jermeister]

Rallying with right foot-braking! Amazing master skills, Mr. Kankkunen!

[@MrDavidfball]

Massive thanks both my local stages in 2 evenings SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@VHSRallies]

You're very welcome!

[@sterlo83]

Man Grp A was awesome, the attitude of the cars under brakes, understeer then oversteer, old school anti-lag, I could watch this stuff all day long. Modern wrc cars just aren’t as interesting for me...all though they are a shit load quicker. Technology in aero, suspension, gearboxes etc has taken away some of the spectacle

[@Zero_Ninety]

The modern stuff does nothing for me.

[@TheBadBunny87]

Not only that, if you really wanted to you could go to a Toyota dealer and buy the actual car, well at least 60% of the actual rally car with 100% of the rally car look.

[@sardengineering]

Thanks very much, epic footage 👌🏼 lots of hard work keeping it on the straight and narrow 💪🏼

[@leonelpadilla8484]

These videos are always inspiring!

[@martymcfly3159]

Simply awesome! Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@VHSRallies]

You are so welcome!

[@martymcfly3159]

@@VHSRallies thanks so much. Cheers from Italy

[@MrPanzagnan]

Surely one of my favorite drivers, along with Sainz and McRae. I’d say kind of “relaxed” driving style!

[@ProudAmerican111]

Gotta love this!

[@SM-mk2wh]

Sensational!!

[@MartinBradyRallyCoDriver]

Great uploads thank you.

[@EdAb]

Holy Handful Batman! Juha looked like he was trying to keep the car from committing suicide. Brilliant!

[@Bob-Jenkins]

Yeah, it's like a dance. A dance on the knife-edge of traction and car control. Like ballet, but fun to watch. 🤔

[@villealamaki8902]

1:54 tightens and opens?

[@Mr.Reflex84]

if hell had a rally stage.

[@ОБЫЧНОЕВИДЕО-в8д]

Круто 🔥 мне понравилось видео 👍 посмотрел с удовольствием

[@deanejuliannarumphf4172]

AMAZING Nicky Grist Welsh Rule who are who are we We are Wales Cymru

[@MrPanzagnan]

Could it be possible to see also Sainz and McRae onboards? Even from the 1995 edition?😻😻😻

[@VHSRallies]

Sure, if someone has them on VHS and is willing to get them converter!

[@minibus9]

cool video

[@rikki87sufc]

Does anyone know where Juha and Nicky placed on the two opening stages? Great content as always.

[@ELUSIVEJIM]

Stage 1 they were fastest and had a lead of +1. This stage 2 they were equal 8th fastest with Didier Auriol and Jonny Milner. Overall after two stages, they were second +3 behind Armin Schwarz in his Mitsubishi Evo.

[@charade993]

Hi!

[@randomfaca]

these roads would not be decent for a tractor let alone a car :>
