Tony Pond gets 5 top stage times in the rover vittesse , (10 yards long 5 yards wide, 15 tons of british pride.) Thats an awesome drive in that car, respect to the late great Tony Pond.
Hachiroku and 930 in the same race? those are my all time favorites ! Tony Pond is amazing cause that Rover seems like a very difficult car since its huge and has a V8, then again all ive driven at the limit is lightweight 4 cyl cars (240SX and AWD Civic)
Gosh this takes me back! I was lucky enough to be McRae's co-driver on this event. Not only did we win this event but we went on to win the British Rally Championship too!!
cool

@buckyohare420 lol your right, it was the weight of a modern cruise liner, I'll bet it was good fun to throw around.

Those were brake lights. He was doing a little rolling-burnout for the crowd.

It was said that Tony Pond was pushing so hard that the power steering oil was boiling at the end of a few stages.
