Some say TopGear stole his name

[modelcitizen72]

@duncanmotorsport All I know is, he's called B., Stig

[duncr]

Does the co driver make a mistake at 1:06? Stig appears to hit him

[RallyFinland]

@duncr No, he doesn't. Their intercoms went "mute", so Stig couldn't here the co-driver and tried to signal that to him.

[duncr]

@RallyFinland Thanks for the correction

[lealowo]

why isn't that video 6 hours long?

[liimis1]

This is Jyväskylä 1987.

[barsorrro]

That looks like a handful (and a "footful" ;)) of a car to drive. There's no telling it where you want to go -- this is always a hard-negotiated compromise between what the driver wants and what the car wants! :D But Stig is such a masterful negotiator there!

Fantastic footage! Thanks for sharing!

Extra video,thanks

[Mknives]

What car is he driving in 88'? Is this a group A car or a course car?

[RallyFinland]

@Mknives Yes he was, with a Group A Sierra RS Cosworth., 5th overall

Allthough I'm not 100% sure that this is 1988, it might be also 1987.

@RallyFinland

Yes hard to tell if this clip is of the 1987 or 88 rally.

[Tobbe240]

@trafotevoli 88

[bodieofci5]

It's between Stig and Ari Vatanen for the best of all time I think...

[nos97]

So much better in the old days!

[Masikoira]

just like dancing!

[Safarigod]

One of the finest drivers in motorsport that ever lived.

[Ionouts]

Incredible control!

[Copshootcop74]

350 bhp RWD....... Amazing! Stig as great as always!!

[loolmannen]

@Copshootcop74 If you mean the Audi S1 its not RWD, Its a 4WD, Just so you know it ;)

[Copshootcop74]

@loolmannen I meant a early Group A Ford Sierra Cosworth the car Stig is driving in the clip and that's RWD. Group B was banned at the end of '86 Audi only used 200 Quattro's and coupe Quattro's for the first few years of Group A and they were too heavy and underpowered to be real winners. Audi withdrew the from the Championship with the S1 after Portugal in '86. I am well aware the S1 is 4WD, cheers! :)
