As Turkish motorsports fans, we would like to see Petter Solbergi doing laps in Istanbul Park with his Impreza wrc, especially the 8th corner, he will like it very much, maybe he will do much better laps than his colleagues in Formula 1.
Henri was era of driver who did not fear death. He drive like maniac. Hes statement says it all "In this event surviving to goal, feels great". That means true devotion to drive like crazy in bare limits. Thus he drove out and not todays drive to satisfie needs style driving.
Masterpiece. Herni Toivonen. The greatest guy from Finland. And the best Finnish rally driver of all time too. My favourite person from Finland as well.
If there is a driver in the rallies of the 80s who is still remembered today, he's Ari Vatanen. You still hear about him today, for a reason, there were more effective people, with better track records, people like Röhrl, Alén, Mikkola, Blomqvist, even someone that all of us who lived through that time have in our memory (Toivonen), perhaps the best of all. Even in spite of everything, people have Vatanen's spectacular nature in their minds, his comebacks (in that rally, 1000 Lakes 1987, to his teammate Blomqvist, being the first time he drove the Sierra Cosworth), even if they ended up in a ditch, his bravery, his way of fighting for such a risky victory, that! people value it a lot. After the accident, at the Group A era he was left a little on the sidelines, perhaps because of the time he was without competing, perhaps also because of his determination to continually take risks, even knowing that his mounts were not winners.
just picked up my very own Tamiya plastic model kit of petter solberg's 2005 Rally Monte Carlo Impreza WRC today. cant wait to paint, glue, and slap the decals on it
Amazing well told. Group B was so experimentally unbridled, it was only a matter of time before the beasts would turn on their tamers. I really lost it when I saw his daughter's tear at the end.
