Henri Toivonen - A Morte

The tragedy of the 1986 Tour de Corse and Henri Toivonen and Sergio Crestos final rally.
Henri was on a different level that day, pulling out a lead off over two minutes breaking stage records.`
The end of Group B rally.

Henri was my Hero ever since I saw him win the RAC in 1980. I was 22 when this happened, and I can still remember the absolute devastation I felt when I saw the news. Everyone bangs on about Senna's death, but to me, this was by far the most tragic. RIP Henri.

I Agree a pair of real legends , rip your comments in English for all us non-italians "Unfortunately, Sergio Cresto, his navigator, also died in that tragedy. I don't understand why it isn't mentioned.

[@luismaciel7463]

Thank you for this. I stopped watching Rally after Toivonen's death. He died on the day after my 11th birthday. I also stopped watching formula 1 when Senna died on my 19th birthday. Now I had to research a lot about them for a work I had to do. Although painful and making me still cry after all these years, this footage are actually helping me to cope with those traumas, maybe even take a look to what has been happening in Rally and Formula 1 all these years. I still have a Markku Alén autograph, he exchanged a few words with a 10-year-old kid, unfortunately I don't have Toivonen's

[@elettrolanzo]

io avevo 17 anni ai tempi e cominciavo ad appassionarmi a questo mondo. qualche anno fa sono stato sul luogo in cui è avvenuta la tragedia e mi sono fermato a pensare. sono stato assalito da un sacco di emozioni che non so definire. quando ci penso mi accade ancora. ne sono avvenute di tragedie negli anni a venire e ogni volta è la stessa cosa a prescindere da chi sia a perdere la vita facendo motorsport. non so descrivere cosa ho dentro e so di essere banale e di non dire nulla con queste parole ma quando ci penso mi sento smarrito.

Been to Corsica for the Tour De Corse Hystoriqe twice and visited the crash site to pay my tributes. Bit if a fan!!!!. He was feckin amazing as was the Lancia Delta S4. Both untouchable.

@@barfuss2007 I greatly respect and admire W R. however his remarks about finnish "racing" drivers so often being on alcool effect definetly sounds a bit harsh,that's why I have been searching for it in the net,unsuccessfully though. I also have plain personal recollection of a creepy shoot featuring a great finnish driver at a check point in the 80es: he "surely" was on drugs (amphetamine or cocaine) and no wonder for that....long efforts under pressure on GroupB monsters easily took need for extra aids of some kind. Back to Group B cars outperforming the drivers' "mental" performance Röhrl himself admittedly agreed those cars were, at times, faster than human brain, telling it shortly. Let me highlight one objective point: let apart the Toivonen/Cresto tragedy I have no recollection of serious accidents during the GroupB monsters' season. Do you have some ?

[@barfuss2007]

@@@INDIGOBLUE555 in the interview with Röhrl a big accident in Portugal was namend but I dont know if it was the same year. Why dont you ask Röhrl himself? I think he will answer you correctly. The Group B cars were deninitly too dangerous both for the spectators and the drivers. Röhrl drove so fast because he predicted the reactions of the cars too... thats the reason he survived.

I knew that Henri was ill, but I did not appreciate how ill he was until I saw this video and the interviews. A lot of flu medicines warn not to drive, and that is when you are driving something sedate, rather than the insane monster that the S4 was. I am unsure whether he should have been allowed to drive/compete on this event. A great talent. I saw Henri win the RAC, a truly great driver. He will forever be in our hearts. RIP.

[@Marvdogger2]

Its hard to get across to people how hard these Group B cars are to drive. Malcolm Wilson was staying in the same hotel as the Lancia team in Corsica and he said at breakfast Henri was sat at a table over from him and he could not believe the amount of tablets the Lancia doctor was giving him with his breakfast.

Sono passati oltre trent'anni, eppure quante volte ci ho ripensato? Odio la spettacolarizzazione di eventi che hanno coinvolto la vita di persone umane, ma non posso fare a meno di cercare e vedere video come questo. L'aspetto piu' inquietante dell'incidente e' che fin da subito era chiaro a tutti che tutto il sistema, spettatori da casa inclusi, era colpevole. Avevo 15 anni il 2 maggio 1986: in quel giorno, prematuramente, credo di essermi ritrovato adulto.

[@samv7015]

Che dire:bellissimo commento e bellissimo pensiero.... In quel giorno io avevo 13 anni,ma seguivo i rally con grande passione tramite tv e giornali:la mia cameretta era tempestata di poster di Lancia Martini in tutte le salse e sopra il letto avevo il poster gigante della vittoria di Toivonen-Cresto al RAC 1985,dove si vedeva la S4 volare su un dosso circondata dal fango..... Quel giorno fu traumatico per me come per tutti gli appassionati,i piloti,i meccanici.....tutti..... Ogni volta che vedo video sul GrB mi viene la pelle d'oca e una strana euforia per quell'ERA che non tornerà più :un'era dove si vedevano veri piloti e assi del volante ognuno con il suo stile,si vedevano mostri da oltre 500cv ognuna con la sua filosofia e il suo caratteristico sound..... Ora sono tutti uguali con auto tutte uguali che addirittura hanno la sbandata assistita:non so quanti dei nuovi idoli sono in grado di guidare una di queste belve.-..... Questo è un bellissimo e doloroso documento,ma rimane una testimonianza di quel giorno tragico che fece spegnere quella follia che alimentava i rally in quel periodo:auto folli progettate da ingegneri folli,guidate da piloti folli circondati da spettatori che forse erano i più folli di tutti......... Vorrei però tornare a quel periodo quando il rally veniva mostrato nei tg,se ne parlava ovunque... e forse proprio il Gr.B ha permesso all'automobilismo di avere quella visibilità reale ( e non aiutata da tv a pagamento e sponsor..) che non ha mai avuto Un periodo dove tutto era più bello e più umano di ora,l'italia era una potenza economica,si potevano acquistare tante belle auto con cui sentirsi un pò pilota (Uno Turbo i.e.,Super5 GT Turbo,Ritmo Abarth,Delta HF Turbo),c'erano veri sentimenti e belle personalità......

[@dominicwood3451]

Hauntingly beautiful montage. Was too young to appreciate this era, but I now see that it simply couldn't continue. Toivonen and Cresto's death was probably the final straw but in truth Group B was too dangerous on the stages as they existed, and with the total lack of crowd control. The saddest part is surely that they already had a massive lead, all they had to do was to drive relatively conservatively and they would likely have won the rally, reliability permitting? I read of various theories; Toivonen's virus affecting/impairing his driving judgement, rocks placed on the road (which seems implausible because of the danger to any would-be sabbateur), or some sort of abrupt mechanical failure in the steering, suspension or drivetrain. People say that the S4 was a fearsome beast, which only Toivonen could master. Either way, given the entry speed to the corner, and no barrier to deflect the car's trajectory, a severe accident was something which could have befallen any of the cars in the rally on that part of the course. Much criticism came to Lancia because of various (seemingly crazy) design choices associated with the vehicle, e.g. fuel tank underneath the drivers' seat, but I'll bet that many of the rival manufacturers heaved a sigh of relief on the cancellation of Group B. Would a Peugeot or Audi have survived such an extreme crash without killing their pilots? We will never know. The outcome was a tragedy, no doubt about it.

Caro Marco Polo , nel discorso hai fatto un po’ di confusione. Ti spiego il perché da medico , nel caso di Toivonen non aveva la faccia preoccupata, era solo stanco perché non stava bene aveva la febbre. Di conseguenza non era Lucido nella guida , per guidare auto di quella potenza incredibile da 600 cv devi essere il più lucido possibile , a quei livelli oltre ad essere il miglior pilota.io ho fatto una prova un giorno avevo la febbre a 38 , provai a guidare un auto del pikes peak che hanno oltre i 600 cv Del mio migliore amico ,credimi caro marco mi è stato molto difficile guidarla perché appunto, ero malato e i riflessi erano lenti .Buona giornata

In realtà Miki Biasion in un'intervista ha detto che la sera prima lui, Henry e Alen scherzavano ed erano relativamente tranquilli perché le posizioni in classifica erano decisamente definite con Henry saldamente in testa alla gara che poteva tranquillamente amministrare il vantaggio su Saby pertanto sempre a detta di Miki, erano tutti piuttosto tranquilli. Poi magari il malessere di Henry ha influito, oppure è successo qualcosa che non scopriremo mai anche perché la macchina è andata completamente distrutta dal fuoco. Un'altra cosa strana è che secondo Miki, Toivonen è uscito a destra (all'interno della curva) per poi tentare di controllare la delta portandola fuori strada a sinistra dove non essendoci protezioni, è rotolata sotto la strada di qualche metro incendiandosi. Io sono stato sul posto diverse volte e ogni volta rimango incredulo di come si possa morire in una curva così insignificante. Ma purtroppo è andata così e l'equipaggio piu forte del momento se n'è andato.

Io penso che questi piloti siano l'incarnazione del coraggio...vederli correre e volare! a pochi centimetri dai dirupi e dagli alberi...lascia senza fiato...R.I.P

Quelle émotion.. je n'avais jamais vu ce document..

[@Tokyo-go2du]

I barely even know about this sport or this guy and this instantly get to my heart.. what a tragic loss....

[@bmwmotorsportfan1436]

An other impressive video. Thank you Marvdogger.

[@renzorocchi367]

Mi fa ancora male ripensare alla tragedia del 1986 in Corsica. Toivonen era davvero un asso e la Lancia aveva la vettura vincente. Credo che quell'anno il titolo sarebbe stato sicuramente suo. Riposa in pace Henri

[@questaebenzinah2600]

renzo rocchi Insieme alla 205 T16... erano le auto per il titolo.

[@shredfusion1]

ma alla fine si sa realmente quali furono le cause dell'incidente?

[@renzorocchi367]

shredfusion1 la S4 si disintegro' e le fiamme la bruciarono completamente. Impossibile risalire se l'incidente fosse causato da un cedimento tecnico oppure da un errore del pilota

[@giandujavettorello6184]

renzo rocchi E con lui perì pure Sergio Cresto.... poveretti, che sciagura...

[@questaebenzinah2600]

shredfusion1 Sapevo anche io del comando acceleratore... il che in effetti sarebbe compatibile con l'impatto in un punto relativamente "lento". In ogni caso, che restino in pace sia Sergio che Henri!
