Such a variety of cars and all having the wheels driven off them. Would love to see this kind of variety on the Roger Albert Clark Rally

How did things change to today's rally- only a few car manufacturers 😢

@@nicolaasjansevanrensburg7543 Your really touch my soul! 👍❤💛 It is important to believe that rallying still has the possibility to get back to its former style and pleasure. I think this mostly depends on the real passion and thoughts which every person who likes rallies can bring in. And how well we will succeed in combining our knowledge and ideas as best as possible. As for me, I have given much attention to rallying since almost fourty years, because I always loved vehicles and I found out that rallying is the sort of motorsports which is mostly enjoyed by me. This is based on several reasons. After this long time I think that I have got enough experience that I can quite exactly estimate about what is good for this sport, and what should be avoided, because it is likely to let the identity of the sport go to the waste. There should be still some profound opportunities to re-establish rallying with much more of the former spirit. Some events like the mentionned Roger Albert Clark Rally are turning in a very interesting direction. Maybe it is possible to set signals that rallies, especially these ones with great reputation, once more should be longer and more spectacular (many tricky corners, often on gravel, but also mixed with tarmac...and with jumps, where possible). And also there should be found a solution to get more car brands or constructors for participation. Maybe you would like to tell me a little more about your points of view regarding rallying. It is always enjoyable to me to communicate which other persons with a deeply emotional connection to rally sports. Many greetings. Andi Lugauer

Quel spectacle et quelle belle époque!

[@TheLRider]

Watched it all unfold at Sutton Park. Happy happy days..We also did Oliver's mount in Scarborough if I recall correctly.. I know it was that year because Hanu's Escort was sponsored by Calibri lighters in that magnificent chocolate and gold colour scheme. I had one of their cool lighters 😊

Roger Clark my favourite driver of all time

[@zebop917]

This was a time when the RAC Rally really meant something and still covered a large part of Great Britain. Grizedale Forest was my spectating point.

When they eventually build a time machine, I know what will be my first port of call.
