Action from the penultimate round of the 1986 World Rally Championship. Originally broadcast on BBC Top Gear, although the bulk of the footage is edited down from the Rally Report '86 nightly shows during the event. Presented by William Woollard, with commentary by Barrie Gill and additional reporting by Sue Baker and Tony Mason. Converted from VHS TV recording.

The cars were so cool, nothing like this in America. Us Yankees looked at these ecobox cars as slow and cheap. Little did we know, the motorsports with them was way more impressive than any stock car race..

Such a shame they cancelled Group B. Was there anything else that could have been done?

The Ford's, Lancia, Renault, and Audi cars sure did dominate! I like the lower power cars too. Dig the Mitsubishi and Toyota, Ford's there too. Why I love hatchbacks and small, high revs, and loud compact mid size cars from all generations

Cool to a couple of "Gentlemen Racers" in this rally. The one team of 50 year olds with their own car, killing it. Very expensive hobby, but once in a lifetime job!

Flying down gravel.county roads in a sports compact or "rally car" looks like slot of fun. There should be local events everywhere, people can build a competition car with less than 200 hp and be fun. Rally and rally cross should HUGE is America ..dunno why it's not
