1983 Corsica Rally Tour de Corse. Mikkola Mouton Audi quattro A2

In 1983, Audi Sport unleashed their new Rally weapon - The Audi quattro A2, in Corsica on The Tour de Corse Rally. They fielded two cars, registered as IN-NL 67 for H. Mikkola and also IN-NT 49 for M. Mouton. These A2's are a much lighter and more powerful version of the LWB quattro. Despite Audi's greatest efforts, their new cars were no match for the might of the Lancia 037's on Tarmac, and it was not until the loose surface rallies where the A2 began to dominate - ultimately bringing Hannu Mikkola the drivers World Rally Championship in 1983 and Stig Blomqvist in 1984 - going to prove that the A2 quattro was the most successful rally car ever built by Audi.

Folks just sitting at the tables outside the cafe as the rally cars blast by them - can't see that happening these days...
