As a Rally car it would be probably the scariest ride you could have. with all the weight cuttings that car was borderline unsafe to begin with. I love it that was when safety protocol was don’t Wreck
VATANEN, capable of the best and the worst, combined streaks of victories and spectacular comebacks, with streaks of abandonments on road stages. Spectacular where ever there is one, in stages against the chrono. Very brave, almost to the limit of recklessness, which is why he is one of the most remembered pilots of that time. SALONEN, quite the opposite. Consistent pilot, little given to risk, if he did not see it clearly he did not run as much as he could, but with an extraordinary ability to be in the right place at the right time. KANKKUNEN was consistency personified. At that time he was a promising young man in his debut in a winning team and he took advantage of his opportunity right away, with the great merit that at 27 years old he managed to defeat an established driver like Markku Alén. SABY, a very good "team pilot" more than fulfilled the role that Jean Todt entrusted to him, including the impossible task of standing up to Toivonen in Corsica, of unfortunate memory for everyone. That is why Fiorio signed him for season 87 for the official team Lancia in the first year of Group A as the top category of the WRC. Of JEAN TODT, what to say, with what later was. He was an excellent organizer and a great strategist who faced the "almighty Lancia army" with already an important resume in the WRC at that time. From co-pilot of Frequelin, Nicolas, and even of Mikkola, went on to convince a brand CEO like Peugeot in financial problems at that time, to embark on this risky project that revived and was a real sales boost for the brand. The "Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 project" ended being an unprecedented marketing and image success for the French brand.
it would be interesting to understand why Lancia used such a small rear spoiler compared to the other cars, it is well known that the S4 was difficult to drive, a larger spoiler similar to the Metro as they used on its debut on the Costa Smeralda 85 perhaps would have been more effective to control the s4.they had also the side skirts of the underbody car, but they then no longer used unlike Audi and Peugeot
Lancia did want to use a bigger rear wing like they had used when testing the prototypes but the FIA were having second thoughts on rear wing size after giving Audi and Peugeot the ok for theirs. Austin Rover got away with it by fitting the same wings and spoilers to all 200 of there road cars.
Dobrý den děkuji za odpověď mám rád staré časy tam to auto nic neodpustilo proto jezdci museli auto znát dokonale. Já sám mám historické závodní auto a jezdím po závodech . Dnes je závodní auto samá elektronika sekvenční převodovka a jiné. To už jsou pro jezdce jiné podmínky.
Now that was FANBLEEDINGTASTIC! I was mesmerised by this. Just facts, no hyperbole and someone said the music was shite… well I say the music is absolutely spot on period perfect. Thanks for making my month!🫵🤡
Thanks so much and taking the time to comment. I always read the comments and enjoy reading people's thoughts on my videos (good or bad) . I'am glad you liked the music it needed to fit the era.
