That video is from 1994. Kankkunen ran #1 in 1994, in 1995 he was #2. You also hear the commentator mentioning the car debuted earlier in the year, in 1995 they ran the full season. Also in 1995 this type of special stage was run at night.

[@dracoxoc]

Both are incredible cars!!!!

[@hashrulsubzero]

David Lapworth (Prodrive) was right about the speed of that Toyota (if you watch Chris Harris' Colin McRae tribute on Top Gear, you know)...

[@bcm70]

It was a great event. Can't believe we let it go.

[@user-ju8kh2sp2t]

Subaru!!!!!!!!

[@mayorofthenonsense]

Yeah, not so much off the line in 1st or 2nd gear, but you can see it when he’s exiting a corner, perhaps in 3rd or 4th gear. There’s a significant amount of extra torque being delivered. You can hear the extra boost and see the additional acceleration when compared to the Subaru.

[@jamesbondenry]

1995..... The St205 debuted in October 1994 at the Sanremo rally driven by Juha Kankkunen at the end of the championship as a test for the following year. I was present during the race !!!

[@EDGEDAZZA]

Lucky you

[@Holanduzo]

It cant be, KKK was nº2 in 1995 and McRae 5, that was the Australia non WRC event from 1994, just Asian-Pacific championship, it was even explained in the video.

[@chrisbiewer-rallye-info]

ST205 debuted in the Mänttä Rally just before Finland. In WRC Finland itself KKK drove again the ST185. Then he drove the ST205 in F2 only Australia 94, then in the last WRC events San Remo and RAC, all part of preparation of the 95 WRC season. So indeed this is Australia 94.

Definitely 1994.

Toyota celica is too much for everyone

[@oscaroyarzun9566]

El toyota tenia una trampa en la brida del turbo, tenia mas hp q el resto de autos.

[@Cheaty_Four]

Eso fue durante WRC, no este evento. El Celica gano sin trampas esta vez 😎

[@oscaroyarzun9566]

@@Cheaty_Four tienes razon, fue una fecha especifica 👍🏻

[@Holanduzo]

Kankkunen was the talent, McRae the brainless.

Celica uses illegal 30+ hp Tunibg

Cope, that was during WRC, not in this event 😏

[@ijuineiwa]

It was never written anywhere that what Toyota did was legal or illegal, just coz the other companies dont have such tech, they made it illegal ... later on everyone is using it when they caught up in tech :P

[@瘰]

@@ijuineiwa Later when Toyota removed illegal chip, Subaru on the same hp smoked it
