I made it just over 3 minutes. It’d be great if they upload a version with no obnoxious music drowning out the sounds of the cars. I mean, I assume most viewers are here to see/hear the cars, not generic rock guitars.
When I read the comments about the music,I didn’t bother watching the video.They obviously gave the video production to a non petrol head,they just don’t get it.
Petter is the greatest ambassador for the sport and having him front such a video was a genius move. Sincere appreciation for all the owners who brought their toys out to drive in anger.
the sound of that 6R4 is glorious, its definitely my favourite group B car. one of my old neighbours was a co-driver in british rallies during the 60s, 70s and 80s. he told me that he once read notes in a 6R4 for a friend and he said it was the fastest, most amazing but also most scary vehicle he ever sat shotgun in
Wait, no delta s4? Celica gt4? Quattro? 124s? Stratos? Rs200 (or any cossy at that.) Evo. R5 turbo..... nah a couple subarus. The mg was cool tho. Oh and the alpine too.
Wow, I've built replicas of the first 3 of these cars on my channel. I also work with a Metro 6R4 (or two) at the British Motor Museum. Absolutely love this collection of cars.
I used to be a club official for a Triumph TR club and had the pleasure of talking to Tony Pond on the phone once (he used to rally TR7's). I loved the Group B era and whilst the Delta S4 was always my favourite, I always wanted to see the plucky 6R4 achieve something big. Sadly Group B was finished before the 6R4 could really prove itself. For me, Group B was the greatest era in any form of motorsport in living memory. Wild action with some of the greatest cars ever made.
Awesome! With Martin Schanke making rallycross a household sport in Norway in the 80’s and 90’s. Petter Solberg is without a doubt our biggest WRC rally legend! Great video! Very entertaining. Long live the beautiful sport of rally
Skoda is such a cool car! I'll never forget Monte Carlo 2002 when it drive through a barrier(?) and got stuck on a light pole, with a insane drop straight down! Driver and co-driver was lucky not to get seriously injured! 😮 Also awesome to see everyone with big smiles on their faces.
Personally I belive that You Have Ruined the Best parts of this Video By Playing Stupid Music in the Background. Although You have Lowerd the Music Volume it has taken away the Clear Perfect Sounds of such Beautiful Machinery. Fans of such Cars and Videos want to see and Hear these Beauties in FULL Detail. Playing Music over the Main parts of the Video is Bad Planning. This is just My Opinion. Fantastic Cars with a Legendary Driver. MUCH Respect ALL From Birmingham UK. Dean.
Well The Greatest Ambassador for the Sport Behind Colin "Flat Out" McRae is Peter Solberg. Peter is an absolute legend that Colin should be proud of and Peter is thankfull to be teammates alongside Colin during his debut prior to moving to the Legendary Subaru. 👏👏👏
Octavia Rally! Solberg! My favourite driver in my favourite rally car! Thank you for this. I appreciate you trying to get him to say "gerboks" at the start too.
Group 4 lasted until the end of 1982! Sick and tired of listening to irritating presenters who think they know it all about Rallying but constantly get things wrong - and this bloke works for Autosport!!!
I really needed this video. After Craig's unfortunate incident in Croatia this year that sadly took his life, I just couldn't get myself to watch WRC again. I became a fan just last year and had a liking towards rallying since I was a kid. This video reminded me that despite the danger, rallying is truly a wonderful category of racing. Seeing the cars glide across the surface with that ridiculously good car control from the drivers, it's just so captivating. I might just get back into the WRC next year if they make helmets in the cockpit mandatory.
Helmets are definitely mandatory at all levels of rally racing, I'm not quite sure what they meant by that. Breen was sadly killed by a fence post which penetrated the drivers side window.
As a fan of Skoda - I drove Skoda cars all my life - Im building a replica of Skoda Octavia WRC to take part in a historic rallys. Nice to see the “old” girl with Peter behind it stering wheel. He is not my favorite driver but his pasion for the sport is big and he get all respect from me
Very cool idea and video! One thing though, could the music be removed during the in car sections? The music drowns out the engine sound and what Petter is saying while driving...
must be awesome to have your car driven by Petter, but I can’t help but feel like he babied the cars. They deserve to go flat out - like the rally1 did.
That Toyota looked to be very quick. A different beast for sure. It would have been good to have more cars from each decade to get more of an insight into how far the sport has progressed, but still a good event.
When will automotive channels learn that their viewers don't want the music to keep playing over (or under) the sound of the cars!? Aside from that, lovely video. Thanks all.
Petter is a superb driver but since his son Oliver drove the Hyundai in 2022 he would appreciate that a modern hybrid needs a totally different technique that has to be learnt.
