1986 British Midland Ulster Rally 

So nice to see an interview with one of the greatest "unknown" Finnish rally legends, Pentti Airikkala!

Great memories, thanks. Was at the corner that Dai lost it in his 6R4, a series of bumps that the car was out of sync with so that the wheels were off the ground when it should have been braking! After the stage finished, he stood at the exit from the field he'd ended up in, taking back broken bits of bodywork and trim off us that we'd picked up as souvenirs:)

theres something about that tune thats really pleasurable to listen too, its a happy tune.

Fantastic Group B footage, despite the woeful 'Oirish' music. Sincerely hope the producer was reprimanded for such a gross lapse of judgement 😂 Great upload, thanks so much!

15.30ish is on the Ballyreagh stage - was used in circuit 2003 at the same spot.

Great trip back in time..... thanks for uploading 👍

Oh man those Opel’s 😍😍😍😍❤️

awesome! footage of my fav rallye era thank u VHS Rallies

A 70mph speed limit restriction on rally stages is arguably the stupidest rule I've ever heard

Thank you VHS Rallies.

Thankyou been looking for this for ages

Hard to believe one of my old school mates owns a 6r4......

1:14 shocked to just learn that Mark passed away in 2003.

Well... That's certainly, um, a song. Regardless, the action is top notch. Thanks for the upload dude

Lovely grp B footage , thanks for posting !

I was going to have a massive go at the...should I call it music?...ok, I'll call it "music", but on reflection, if instead, it was simply the sound of the actual cars and no "music", this film would have been so far beyond awesomely brilliant, many of us wouldn't have wanted to return to modern life. So I say thank goodness we had the "music" to give us all a reason not to watch this on permanent repeat. Thanks for uploading!

Shame the Metro never came to much in the WRC. It’s V6 engine was it’s Achilles heal, poor reliability and not enough bhp. It made sense to go the naturally aspirated route in 82/83 when they began development as turbo lag was still a problem. But by the time the car debuted in late 85. Audi, Peugeot and definitely Lancia had pretty much eliminated turbo lag.

I want a Ford RS200 failing that a Metro 6R4 will do. thanks for posting.

Rallying was at it's peak at that time. Legendary

Such chilled dudes

Opel Manta.... AVIT ! Thank you so much for this up load.

Brilliant video mchales manta glorious

Love the music in this one 👌

Great upload - more please!!!

I don't know what it is but the english are way better at putting up old videos of stuff up to youtube . Keep it up !

"Roger, do you have that music ready? "Yes boss!" "Is it something suitable or have you chosen weird electro-folk again?" "...it's suitable I promise." "..." "..." "...FFS!!!"

19 year old, what year was that Stephen?

A rover running and moving, BL would have been upset at that.

Was there with Dave Metcalfe..well chuffed to beat Pentti...Boy was Pentti pissed at the night do

The best sounds from the group B Metro V6 😍😍rally cars 🚙 🇬🇧🔥🦾🦾🦾⚙️🦾🦾🦾🔥🔊🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵😇😇

Do you do any enhancing to the video before you upload them?

Brilliant.

There's a marked difference between how winners talk and how every other competitor talks

Rally enthusiasts won’t want to hear cars at full chat lets overlay some shit music for them

ok, safety, etc yawn! FISA messed way too much with old school rallying and drivers, the focus should have been on spectators safety and leave the cars alone, the great tony pond said I'm not prepared to drive at 100+ mph through a tunnel of people, at 54 I'm lucky I had a chance to see all the group B monsters and the great drivers.

Great vid ,loved it 😁😁😁👍👍👍

The Rally was Ruined by "bogy times"..made absolutely no sence..it ruined the rally and did not make it safer ever..😠

Can you also upload the 1986 Manx part ?

Can anyone identify the cars at 7:32-7:37

👍🏁

Not easy to get hold of the sports seen releases now. Shame

Why have music? Can't hear the cars ffs

Omg 7/8 min 😅
