Just started saving Part 5 Guys. Fingers crossed my parents computer dos'nt crash. If it saves i'll try and get the other parts saved too. I can upload them then from my laptop. And then finaly start a new project (s)
All uk rallies back then were on organisers marked up maps even the rac. That means they had a blown up stage diagram with the route marked on it with junction numbers. This was the reason why so many English co drivers sat with stars such as Henri on the rac rally, brought up on reading maps. Some of the best co drivers could read just as much info off the map as they could pace notes!
@hannas1234 Because that wasthe fomrat of the RAC rally back then. No practice allowed and no pace notes. There was still a co-driver but he had no notes to read just maps which anyone could buy, that they could guess the route with.
@sitag14 He always wanted to drive for Lancia though. He saw them as the best team, Peugeot considered him for 1984 while picking there drivers but. So even if audi offered him a contract i dout he would have taken it.
Thanks a bunch Marvdogger, toivonen is fantastic i have learnt a lot about him from watching all your videos, they are very very good. terribly addictive!
Showing the younger generation (ME) whats what in the world of rally a glimpse into the stage at which rally reached its plateau.
Bright colorful and exciting racing, with some of the best drivers the earth has ever seen being tested to the absolute limit of all endurance and sometimes paying the ultimate price.
In 1985, the RAC Rally had 880 Km of 63 Special Stages, I can't imagine the kind of physical and mental toughness it takes to do all that in a 500hp+ monster like the Delta S4

@Marvdogger To my knowledge co-drivers had also a road book given by organisers to spot junctions and so on.

@Marvdogger Henri didn't go to Peugeot because they offered mainly testing and not so many events in -84 season.
I think for Toivonen (and Alén) the spiritual home was Lancia. They just fit perfectly there.

@fueldragster
Tour De Corse had ~1000 km. It's really to hard to imagine how they could drive that cars, and drive them fast, using all that power.
