When Rallies lasted a week. No service parks, no restart rules, no tv stage points, just pure rallying day and night. What great times for us old enough to recall them.

No round bales every hundred yards either. 😉

Spent My Easter childhood watching these on Tv and on VHS i wore the tape down rewatching them, these bring back memories, travelling to the Wicklow mountains with my dad to spectate, he would have loved to see these on here. Brilliant job preserving this!

The most grueling tarmac rally of all time? I'd say so. Total length almost 1000 km's, five days, 51 stages (some night ones too), muddy and wet roads with varying weather.

Great to see the nightly reports again, I was out spectating on this event and it was great to see the Metro and Dai Llewellyn win. The sound of the 6R4 through stages like Barnes Gap up in the Sperrins on that last morning was fantastic. Great memories, Thanks!

Hard to think with all the technology these days the coverage of this rally was way better.. what a rally it was.. not a round bale in sight.

I saw those new Markku Alén quote T-shirts you're selling on your site and I'm just howling with laughter, absolutely brilliant idea. ''I go I go, also I go fast'', still giggling to this rally english he spoke back in the day hahahaha

It's a quote taken from the 1981 Rallye de Portugal report, which used to be on this channel but got removed relatively recently.

Beating a fire-breathing turbo.nutter.bastard RS200 in a Opel Manta. Respect. Loved Mantas, had a GT/E. Oversteer. Lots of lovely oversteer. Those (V)6R4 engines sound fantastic hooning it down the Irish B-roads!

It was great that the late John Price went on to campaign the Metro 6R4 , in many rally championships after they were banned from the world stage at the end of 1986!

Says a lot about Llewellyn's shifting/clutch ability. From what i've seen, he had the least amount of gearbox problems in both the metro and the quattros. Really impressive
