I also have the original VHS recording and can say this program is what got me into classic cars, especially John Chatham’s Healey 3000!

Saw it live on the telly, back when I was a teenager. How exciting it was...

Rallying coverage used to be so good back then.

The TV coverage was so good. I never even knew really existed until my dad was transferred to japan for his job in 1981 and we moved to Nagoya. Motorsport in general was much more mainstream there. We just never had even a hint of it on American tv. My best friend in high school (Nagoya Japan) was a big fan of rally and introduced me to it. It’s been my absolute favourite form of car racing (and cars) ever since.

31:48 wow they really just dumpped on Richard there. Dude litterally pased Didier (who after the stage would go up to Burns to state his amazement at the time) and the announcer is seemingly implying becasue there was slightly more light Burns was just gifted the lead.

1:05:30 LMAO. Burns gets a puncture. All Colin has to do is maintain a steady pace to keep his 90 sec gap to Kankkunen. …40 secs faster than everyone else on the next stage. 😂😂😂 dude is the goat 🐐 bruh

What a beauty this Impreza was...

Excellent, thank you for putting this video up, great memories watching this live on TV!

I love Nicky Grist's voice! It's like I'm playing Colin McRae Rally again :D

Thank You !!!!! Fantastic Report !!!!! PLEASE MORE from Rally Sesons 1993 - 2000

Steve Rider, between rally and golf, a class act

The factory works Healey’s factory colours were RED WITH A WHITE ROOF, not GREEN !

Would be better if the commentator told us who was in the cars passing rather than white ring on about his past exploits

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!!!!

Fantastic, much as I enjoyed the Beebs coverage, which I still have on VHS. This does evoke the true rallying experience. And the names, Mikkola, Vatatren, Blomquist, Alen, the Royalty of Rallying.

I've still got my original VHS recording of this, I love it. Great picture quality on your copy, many thanks.

I can remember standing there as an 18 year old, when me and my mate left Norfolk to come to spectate the roads where clear, half way there it started snowing and we both had trainer's on, might even be my white Capri in the parking at the very start of the video, can't make out the reg :)

Great video

Awesome footage. Love hearing those F2 cars screaming at the top of its RPM.

Great footage 👍🏻
