  • what's that black Hubcap he is putting on the wheel at 8:25

  • @TheBulletproofer Sucks cool air into the brakes.

  • Would be nicer without the music and more of the engine sound.

  • @mauson1963 Your right it would, but 90% of that footage has no engine sound only talking over the top so i had little choice..

  • Can you tell me Marvdogger, why there such a difference in the stage milage of the two Rallies,after all they were both being run under World Championship Rules....Great work Marvdogger,James

  • @Silvermac27 Well rallys changed little in the 60s,70s and 80s. As it was mainley up to the organisers of the rally and FISA more orless agreed with them. The Tour de Corse has always been a long rally and the 1000 lakes has always been a fast short rally.

    The problems of course comes, when your rally 400bhp+ cars on stages orignally desisgned for cars with 160-200bhp. The strain on the drivers goes up 10 fold which the organisers did'nt seem to relise till it was too late.

  • To give people an idea how tough the 86 Tour de Corse was, the first day of the rally had more stage miles than the total miles of the 86 Thoasand lakes rally!

  • thank you for this AWESOME and VERY SAD film!!
