Oh man, what a neat group of cars. This is the era where you could show up with just about anything and be competitive if you were a fast driver. Porsche 911s, the Datusn 240z, I saw a BMW 2002 at one point, the old Volvos, the Saabs, its just anybodys game! And of course the Brits show up with a Morris...

Shekhar Mehta's sideburns are absolutely first class! It really is a blast from the past. Ach, how I dream for the days of the 1980s Group B, when I were a lad....

So sad that SAAB is now gone... This two stroke SAAB on the video, it has similar taillights to the Beetle from that same period, looks nice

Those cars! Porsche 911, Datsun 240z and that lovely boxy Volvo 144 (or was it a 142?). What an era.

[@trafotevoli]

Mehta was Kenyan, not British.

[@sugarnads]

trafotevoli kenya was part of the empire then. So, yes, he was british.

Not difficult to understand why in these times only finn drivers can win their finn race in them finnland. Try to figure what a supremacist can be...
