That was a proper rally. Plum Tyndall and Derek Simpson were the masters of the rally video back then. That whole event was shot with only 2 cameras - its the story behind and the way Plum tells it draws you in ! These videos are absolutely iconic.
Jimmy mcrae would have probably won that rally if it wasn't for the that mistake on stage 5 At least a British driver with a then slower car won Okay it wasn't a Ford escort mk2 but those Vauxhall Chevette HSRs were still awesome rally cars
Possibly one of the coolest classic rally videos I have ever seen! Fantastic! I’m curious, was there ever any interference or issues related to “the Troubles” during rally events of the 70’s and 80’s?
To understand his question, I found: "The Troubles" is a term used to describe: a period of conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted about 30 years, from the late 1960's until the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
