Challenger - the story of Peugeot in the 1984 WRC 

A company in Monaco now owns all the footage shot for Peugeot. Real shame they have no interest in releasing the archive.

Man these the sweetest cars ever. They just never looked or sounded any better than this here, The little 205, the AUDI. Man just so nostalgic to look at i grew up watching rallies in the early 90's as a kid. Seeing this again now, it's great. I used to watch the Poss in his Subaru Kiwi Rally Fan here

Love these vintage documentaries. Information stated plainly and to the point, lots of technical details, great footage, and music used sparingly and tastefully.

Let's not forget those RALLY-MECHANICS working under the sky in all weather conditions, day and night. My greatest respect for those guys that never get mentioned.

Was cheering Vatanen on in the Welsh forests in 84. Absolutely brilliant footage and showes once and for all that Audi were only winning against two wheel drive opposition and as soon as the T16 appeared they were no longer competitive. And yet they have milked that period for all its worth and really created the Audi brand. Marketing eh!!

In every bit of footage of Group B rallies in Continental Europe until the end of ‘86 you can be assured of seeing spectators seemingly doing their best to get themselves killed. Crazy days.

Wow! What incredible and amazing historic footage! Well done Monsieur Mourey, just like CLIMB DANCE, this does justice to PTS.

The Peugeot is my favourite classic rally car, and I watch this because I'm a huge fan of classic rally so this peaked my interest enough for me to watch it and I cant stop watching it

thanks for sharing from france my friend my 20 years old BACk

Best rally channel on the tube

Those on route services are just pure gold. mechanics doing their things and drivers getting prepped to next stage

Seems like yesterday,after group B it was never the same,great upload

Nana’s taking the kids for a day of knitting and rally 😂….those were the good times

I don't know where you get these from but I love them.

You know what, The way Peugeot 205 debuted in 1984 season was later repeated by Peugeot 206, when the 206 debuted in Corsica, Acropolis, Finland, San Remo and then RAC just like the 205 goes, and also it achieves success the following year for both 205 and 206

Amazing to be able to watch this years after the survivor cars are in collections .

Damn, I never saw this archive, thanks a lot dude.

Great footage and history of the classic rally stages ,one of my fave cars the Peugeot 205 turbo 16

Love it. They are (still) true beasts and what a sound. P.S. @ 0:51 homogaletion?

Only just found this channel. Amazing! Thank you so much for making this content available. What an era.

Simply awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🏁

HAVE THIS ON TAPE FROM YEARS AGO SOMEWHERE ALONG WITH A LOT OF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDS OF SAME ERA ALL BE IT THEY ARE NARRATED IN FOREIGN LINGO ! GREAT UPLOAD NICE TO SEE AGAIN ! 👍👍👍

And still they keep coming👌 The car that saved Peugeot(road car that is, not the T16)

Good one

Awesome video! Anymore?

There is footage somewhere of a T16 in a service stop in Portugal, I believe having a mechanic remove 2 very cooked, spectator fingers from the rear intake radiator 😬

Unbelievably awesome video. Many thanks vhs rallies🤝👌👍🤜🤛. Rock n roll man🤘. This is absolute gold💯 and I'm only 13 seconds in! I wander how many of those road versions are left? A GTI on steroids💪. They must be a good £200k plus now. I'm probably way off. More probably. Rarer than chicken teeth! I've seen lancia 037 road versions North of £300k

If I was hiring a guy to do the voiceover for a video about my homologation special, I'd make sure he could say "homologation"!

Paduu 🥺🥺

Who said: "If you want to win you need Finn!"

I heard Peugeot 504 and 206 won WRC 2 wheels category thrice in a raw before pulled out of the race?

Go on.. Say Audi again

22.02-22.06 💪🏻💪🏻

9:47...it's stocktaking time (brilliant! ) . No disrespect to the excellent commentary by Julian porter in the current day version but I way prefer the way this sport was presented back then and right up to about 02 to be fair. It was fine as a half hour end of day summary for each leg on eurosport or something. They have tried to make it too live and in your face now and it feels a lot more repetitive. I don't like the current day "power stage" thing either. Driver's points were a lot harder to earn back then and only the top 6 scored. The restart rules are a joke too. If a car crashes out? That should be it! I don't rate the likes of ogier and loeb as highly as Alen, Toivonen, Vatanen and Rohl by a long shot. And although helicopter shots are good.. They are completely over saturated now and that boring/almost depressing sound of the helicopter blade spinning round like a bloody giant lawnmower with the throttle stuck open. It was way classier and more watchable here.

Ordee :D

Peugeot was favorite car for everyone in Africa until the domination of economic Japanese cars especially Toyotas.

Αρι....Αρι....Αρι....

this celica twin cam turbo ta22 is keep by toyota team europe in colgone germany

Was stage in 7:25

Mid 80s snot rockets..

フロントノーズも短く　全長も短い　ドライバーにとっては操り易い車両です　ラリーは最高速2百キロクラシックなのでフロントノーズはあまり長くなくても良い　フランスのラリーカーはゴタゴタしてなくてシンプルです　タイヤフェンダーも前後あまり膨らんで居ない　Bカーなので膨らましても良かったが　会えてプジョースポールは膨らませ無かった!今のラリーカーはタイヤからの空気?抜きのためサンドイッチが置けるほど前後を膨らまし空気?抜きをタイヤの後ろ側でやっているけどデザイン的には私は美しくない　空気抜きはしていないがイグニスのタイヤフェンダーはハウス　はそんな感じでなんかブサイク?に診える。

on 0.52 he talks about homogalation?

How peugeot went from this awesome 205T16 to an Shit that is 307cc. Like what happened?

Oh my God but what about all the climate change oh my God aren't we supposed to be dead already over that SMH

When Peugeots weren't absolute shit cars
