Excellent! This always set me up for Top Gear Rally report!
I remember the year that the BBC lost Formula 1 to ITV and decided to stop using this theme for Rally report and replace it with Fleetwood Macs The Chain from F1.
The BBC excuse was "The Chain" was the soundtrack of BBC Motorsport.
I was TOTALLY FURIOUS Jewelled is the correct theme for Rally not the F1 theme...then BBC lost Rally to Channel 4 as well and it started to suck! Isn't it on Dave now sigh! Come on BBC get back the rights!
Absolute class, remember the Top Gear Rally Reports with great fondness, have marshalled on a few RAC Rallies many years ago, always loved this track, for many diehard Rally fans it will always be associated with Rallying, tnx for posting, time to dig out some old Rally pics of the past :-)

Didn't Channel 4 also use this for their American Football coverage or am I thinking of some other godlike 80s tune?

@SentinelTera Yes it was used on the opening titles. When Frank Gifford used to present it.

I like how @ 0:37 we see a proper car
Then @ 0:40 we see how boring things have become...
Then @0:45 and a proper motor returns...

@Fedaykin24 Damn right.!!
Bring back Tony Mason - He may be old but he sat beside King Roger for years = cred. Move over Murray.!! And roll a proper Rally Soundtrack.
BBC grow some balls and stop pandering mutants who don't hold a full licence, and CBBC.
