Everyone always goes on about how crazy the drivers were, but nobody remembers the co-drivers. Just imagine yourself being the co-driver in a Group B car! That would be way more scarier than driving yourself. You have to trust your life to the hands of the driver, and still keep calm enough to be able to give directions. Huge respect for them!

@jacklondon7873 3 года назад

People are only used to film being bad because they always used poor lenses and cheap development. The limits of film before were down to equipment and development assuming it was correctly exposed. With digital the limits are more to do with the sensor. It's pretty easy to believe this is film because I've seen superior film footage to this. Film stocks themselves didn't change massively from the 80s and there were plenty of HQ film stocks in use at the time.

@nitronixus9402 2 года назад

Just when we thought he was badass enough for saving that car from crashing. At about 4:34 onwards you can see him going flat out on the straight, but the wheel is turned on an angle, this is because his wheel is punctured and he is fighting the car from spinning out of control, its hard enough to drive with a punctured tyre, let alone go fast like him. And he's still flooring it like nobody's business. Absolute badass.

Respect Ari...this is what's mean to race in 80's...no traction assistant, no electronics tricks, nothing! Only a big big heart ad a big big heavy right foot!!!

@mrdunns3338 2 года назад

I watched many rallies for years, now helping to organise and run events. My first memory and pictures to accompany were on the 1975 Scottish when Ari was driving an Opel Ascona into the ground. His style was severe on the car and it had to be welded up at every service. I think he finished 8th overall. On the same event, the Chequered Flag run Stratos driven by Andy Dawson and Ulf Grondholm driving a Beetle, father of WRC champ Marcus. Happy days Many years later, in 2008 at the McRae Stages, at Perth Racecourse event suite, an evening of chit-chat with the great JaggyBunnet as MC, I had the privelege of meeting and chatting with Ari Vatanen, Hannu Mikkola, Malcolm Wilson, Russell Brookes, Kris Meeke, Alistair and Jimmy McRae, John Buffum, Travis Pastrana, Ken Block, Louise Aitken-Walker, Andrew Cowan, Phil Collins and many others. An evening to remember for sure, and I have the Marshal's Tee shirt to prove it!!

@@PeterOKeeffe3333 Thanks for the thumb-up. Not a legend, really, just someone who loves rallying and I do what I can when I can. Couple of weeks from now, off to Mull to help run the Mull Rally, one of the best in the UK. It'll be a busy week, but we'll do what's needed to get as many as possible to the stop line of the final stage, safely and no casualties, job done.

@koolerking440 4 года назад

I mean, forget the total trust in the driver, that could’ve been the end of the co driver. That oversteer would’ve put the co drivers side of the car straight into the metal gate post. To then pick up on your pace notes again after that is incredible. Then to carry on driving, as that car had a steering problem after that rear left clipped the wall (look at the steering angle towards the end just to keep it straight).

@martij30 3 года назад

I'm pretty sure it's the left front that clipped it and went flat.

@philwoodward5069 3 года назад

@@martij30 Yeah they definitely had a front left puncture, you can hear the carcass of the tyre thudding against the bodywork later in the stage. That's not to say they might not have bent the trackrod as well, mind. They ended up losing quite a lot of time on that stage, but at least they weren't injured. The only man in rallying crazier than Vattanan was his co-driver! Everyone knew Vattanan was a maniac.
