Walter Röhrl-Audi S1 Rallye Monté-carlo 1986

[@kevatcrewe]

Just think what Walter's doing there: 1) Driving a car with around 600hp on an icy, snowy road 2) Concentrating on driving, looking as far ahead down the road where possible and analysing the road 3) Looking at the road and telling Geistdorfer the pace notes to write down for the stage This is why Group B drivers, in particular, are the very best.

[@johnmcluskey]

The exhaust grumble of this thing at idle is awesome. The noise when accelerating is the best engine sound ever!

[@EASPORTSWRC]

Even Walter has a moment at 2:02. That makes us feel better when driving the car in-game now 😅

[@motoladyd.petrova7998]

THE BEST RALLY DRIVER !

[@Qnickel27]

love this video! it's amazing to think it was tken in the 80's, it looks like it could have been taken yesterday!

[@maestrotimbal696]

Phénoménal Audi /// S1 💪💀💀💀

[@EmersonMeyer33]

A legendary pilot and a legendary car!! Very nice!! Thanks!!

[@johnmcluskey]

No helmet :0) These drivers had balls of steel!

[@Remy16121993]

He would win the F1 Championship.

[@sergeandre152]

More please !

[@piotrek42gv]

@Rik1pk Henri Toivonen and lancia delta s4. This is King and Queen !!!!

[@JFBDriverTraining]

You are so right. Today is rubbish.

[@Hatzemann]

Its a testride: You can hear him telling his partner what he has to write in his book for the real race...

[@JFBDriverTraining]

@piotrek42gv - You are absolutely right. And i hate the noise restrictions that are placed on the current cars.

[@secretRBRman]

I just wish all video footage of group b was released! u do relize that peugeot teams recorded full onboards for almost every stage for review. imagine if they created a DVD from that!!!

[@feliperc4805]

Holy shit.

[@dbwrc]

fantastic! rorhl has balls the size of melons. slight error at 1:59 shows how hard snow banks are. been watching some old sierra rs500 footage and it shows that big power, simple chassis is the way to go.

[@Gioagla]

I was tellin the right thing mate...:) Walter is like Jerry Lee Louis and his burning piano ....you understand what i mean :)

[@JFBDriverTraining]

@JFBDriverTraining - and 1985 might also have been a different story for Audi because Walter Rohrl would easily have won in Portugal (he hit trouble on the final night) and Hannu Mikkola would have won the RAC rally (he retired on stage 22 whilst leading. But as today's rally GB only has about 17 stages, and most of them are repeated over and over again, you get my point).

[@gregorpohl6196]

probably nothing, he is too "long" for a formula 1 car. ...in Germany it is also called "the long" (1m96cm)

[@7794filip]

what pace note system did he use? Does anyone understand what he is saying?

[@andy22223333]

@Kurzb3 naaa, er sogt "ah, zefix" :-) ich find das so wunderbar, weil genau das einer der vielen Dinge ist die ihn auszeichnen und ihn so aussergewöhnlich machen. Das Streben nach absoluter Perfektion in der Fahrzeugbeherrschung.

[@piotrek42gv]

@Rik1pk But citroen ride in the WRC, and lancia in the men's B-Group.

[@037racing]

@Rik1pk yes, Fiat, Opel, Lancia and Audi

[@paolohf83]

Guida stile scandinava , spettacolare

[@piotrek42gv]

@Rik1pk Yes you are right. In my opinion, B-Group was the golden era of motoring stories. Car manufacturers created some really great designs. And at the present time creates a plastic toy. And I do not like the current limitations of the FIA. It is not enough power and far too many stupid restrictions. They want to make F1 WRC. Sorry for my English: D

[@Rik1pk]

@JFBDriverTraining yes i know you're right. When i was a child I remember the days of Colin Macrae, Richard Burns, Carlos Sainz, Tommi makinen and etc, they just had problems after problems with the cars. So i just want to imagine the insane Group B Era... After the big stumble with the BX, Citroen is going in the right way, so as Ford, i think. The VW group with the Polo it will be awsome and very competetive. I don't like the new huge, and tall "Mini" but in Prodrive factory they are genius!

[@JFBDriverTraining]

@schwalbstar young Rohrl would also die of boredom in todays WRC.

[@piotrek42gv]

@Rik1pk WRC dies needed Resurrection B-Group. And amazing drivers;) as Henri Toivonen, Walter Röhrl, Juha Kankkunen, Hannu Mikkola and many others. Interesting as advised by the WRC drivers in cars with the power of 600PS without electronic systems.

[@Rik1pk]

@piotrek42gv true but citroen didn't have enough time to teste a group B car (Citroen BX)

[@Rik1pk]

@037racing with 4 diferent cars right?

[@Rik1pk]

@piotrek42gv yes no doubt that :P but i love Walter Rohrl style, 4 WRC titles with 4 diferent cars... no one did that right? Lancia Delta S4 gives chills but the raging sound of that Audi, god :D

[@piotrek42gv]

@Rik1pk You're right. The FIA should reactivate the B-Group. thanks once again rallying to have grown very fans. However, the question of safety is only debatable issue. In the class S1600 also are accidents. Currently, we have much better opportunities for the construction of fences safety and security systems than 25years ago. FIA F1 puts on because there is a $ $.

[@cristianmicu]

there's an icy road, no protection, downfall to the right hand of the road, and for him is casual driving lol

[@Kaipeternicolas]

no sound?

[@037racing]

@Rik1pk Röhrl is 2-time World champion and 4-time Monte winner

[@Rik1pk]

@piotrek42gv no need for the restart button :P my idols: walter rohrl and audi quattro s1

[@JFBDriverTraining]

@Rik1pk - you can't compare Citroen's record to that of Lancia. Today's rallies are so short with no endurance. Audi would have won the World Championship for manufacturers in 1981 and 1983 if the rallies back then would have been as short as they are today because retirements usually came AFTER the length of current events would have already finished by 100's of miles!

[@Rik1pk]

@piotrek42gv you'r english is more perfect than mine xD yes yes. i wish i was born in that era, but i am glad to see Colin Macrae, Richard Burns and Carlos Sainz smashing the stages :P FIA should creat a prototype group like Group-B but with more safety restrictions.... right? I think the WRC ill be more softer than this... they need small cars, and wide axles, (nex wrc now) plenty of power without any aids, just pure simple skill....

[@Rik1pk]

@piotrek42gv For the reviews i had the oportunity to see and read about rally car's from 2000 until now, all the journalist said it was very easy to drive, more easy than a normal road car :S. And they compared to the 90's cars and that cars where mechanical and hard to control, so imagine group B. If you look at this last seasons, Loeb has 7 titles because i doesn't have strong oponents or cars :S. A rally with two teams :S

[@Pitchplus8]

what would happen if u put a young walter röhrl in an F1 Car ?

[@Sketch1994]

@schwalbstar Old Röhrl would swap cars in the first pit stop

[@Kurzb3]

sogt er bei 1:56 als er in Schneehaufa eintaucht - Kruzefix?;-)

[@MrYamahaRD350]

@7794filip He is talking in german --> He's from germany ;) But it is the normal system like Left3; Right4; 200; ...

[@piotrek42gv]

1:58 ułaaa.. grubo

[@piotrek42gv]

@Rik1pk But lancia was 10 times world champion: P

[@hintmint88]

He is a tall man

[@Rik1pk]

@piotrek42gv Just driving a car without ABS is dificult on hard breaking points, imagine 600 hp without any traction control and ESP and ABS. That's why that drivers are so so talented. I think the results of Motorsport should depend on the skills of the drivers, not on the machine. Sofisticated cars with no driving aids what so ever it's what i define pure and real motorsport...

[@gonchimar1389]

1:57 Audi got tired of the slow lap....

[@piotrek42gv]

@Quattroowner King died as a king, and thy king is a normal old man.

[@Quattroowner]

@piotrek42gv your King dies 1986 ... So Röhrl was and still is King

[@gonchimar1389]

I know, when I saw this I found it funny how the car went into the snow at 1:57 as wanting for more power, just kidding. Cheers!

[@Rik1pk]

@piotrek42gv and citroen is going on the same way

[@schwalbstar]

@Pitchplus8 young röhrl would be bored

[@Gioagla]

come on ....we have the KenBlock legend...lol..

[@DrBrainsurferCH]

@piotrek42gv lol, but audi was first...

[@Hatzemann]

Yeah, u 're right! Ken Block ---> LOL! :-D Walter has passion and skill, Ken only has youtube xD

[@rallyivan1234]
