Mark Lovell 1988 Circuit of Ireland Sierra Cosworth Incar

it's funny, when you watch these in car cameras you start to get the impression that the drivers are invincible and can't make mistakes...

1 mile a minute, 60mph AVERAGE speed. Awesome Mark Lovell.

unfortunately I only got to see him rallying once at the '89 circuit in Waterford. Bought a cosworth 4 years ago, driving it now reminds me of those times. RIP Mark and Roger

Was going through some old rally videos a few years ago that I had since a kid and decided to check up on a few drivers. I was shocked and saddened to learn of Marks death, I never heard about it in '03. He was a superb driver especially in the cosworths going sideways everywhere. Guys like Mark were such heros to me back then,

[TheJerryludlow]

...even more awesome when you work out the AVERAGE speed. 60mph on roads like that.

I've got this footage on a video. Mark Lovell was a simply awesome tarmac rally driver. I got my first Sierra aged 19 and have never driven anything else, probably because of how Mark used to drive his Cossies. I also compete in road rallies because of footage like this. This footage is exemplary driving.

I had the chance to hang with and talk to Mark about RS200 days a few times. He was really one of the funniest and nicest guys I have met in regards to rallying. A proper driver with no funny business.

Mark Lovell, without doubt the greatest tarmac rally driver this country has ever had, and one of the best in the world.

God speed Mark, you are sadly missed.

As always, absolute commitment from Mark Lovell.

When I was a young lad, he was right up there with the rest of my heros, people such as Tiovenan, Vatennan, Alen, Mansell, Senna, Villenerve, Bell, Schanche, Brock, Sytner and Rouse.

So thanks for all the memorys Mark Lovell. You never failed to make this man who was once a young boy get excited when he saw you doing things in your RS200 or Sierra Cosworth that mere mortals could never dream of.
