one word: Power. wow this is a true classic. Cars such as the mighty Peugeot 205, the 505, Renault Alpine, Delta, Audi Quattro, Renault 5 Turbo, SO MANY MEMORIES AAHHHHHH
the sound is delayed because he was such a fast driver. faster than the speed of sound 1 I never get bored watching this guy drive truelly one of the best
It was in 1984 on european championship rally where ari passed henri toivonen on stage when henri was driving porsche and ari was testing peugeot on world championship... so it was told by juha piironen who was henri toivonen co driver in that porsche...
Ari Vatanen is the best Peugeot driver and i´m very proud i have 205 (GTi) - same car as this legendary driver...a few months i will racing hill climbs with it so i hope i do not make disgrace ;)
there are plenty of other decent videos with the same content on here, with good sound. What do you think the comment box is for? commenting on the videos. letting people know before they watch it has been a bad since when?
B-s problem wasn`t power or speed but safety. They tried to make cars light as possible and weakened cars constructions. It killed Toivonen (the cabin of Lancia Delta S4 was very weak and was thrashed entirely and the primitive gasoline tank was uncovered too), killed Bettega (the cabin of 037 was weak), killed the co-driver of Marc Surer (Ford RS 200 was destroyed into pieces and the gas tank expoloded), almost killed Vatanen (cabin did not protect Ari at all).
the crazy thing is that one driver from this car (I don't know who) said that he wanted less horsepower, this car is too fast for him. and if a professional driver is overstrained with his car, it must be FUCKING fast! :-)
Well, the most successful rally car is actually the Lancia Delta grp. A - 4WD, Integrale 8v, Integrale 16v, Evo 1 and Evo 2. 6 consecutive manufacturers championships plus 4 drivers titles.
Had a few pointless comments re sound quality and music on clip. 1: Fuck off and dont watch it if it really bothers you. 2: I didnt add music - its original. 3: Its fucking years old and probably not the best quality, BUT dont bore me with your whining all the time...
@fkgablonz Not the same. Actually the 205T16 has little in common with the "regular" 205. Get a 309GTI it is much better than the 205GTI for racing. Trust me.
