The 1975 RAC Rally was a strong showing for Ford, with Escorts taking the top three positions. Timo Makinen won the event with Roger Clark a very close second - both driving RS 1800s. This was Makinen's "hat-trick", having won the previous two years.

It`s so impressive to see Stig Blomqvist in the SAAB 96 With it`s relatively compared to the BDG powered Escorts weak engine. But I think they used 2 litre V4:s here that where taken to absolute max. Maybe around 185 bhp but with good torque. I think both factory SAAB:s retired with blown engines. And this was the last RAC rally for the 96 in an factory entry. Fantastic film by the way!! Cheers from Sweden

They had good traction and Stig knew how to swing them. But the limitations of FWD was shown when he got Saab 900 Turbo. Not able to keep pendulum around the corners like rwd cars, it struggled to keep up while shredding front tires like crazy and frequently braking halfshafts.

Hello, Calleskoga. 🙂 I am not from Sweden, but I also like the Saab 96 very much. As well as I like rallies in a way more intensive as usual. Of course it is a great merit of Stig Blomqvist that the type 96 was still very competitive in a period where already many cars had appeared on the rally tracks which were very specialized or prepared for competition. The records which are presented there are showing Stig Blomqvist and his Saab 96 from a very spectacular and monumental side (beside other attractions...). It's very fantastic to watch it. 🤩 I also find it great because of the special colour on this version of the Swedish works car. 🙂 What you also should know: I come from Austria, where the Alpenfahrt took place until 1973. Unfortunately, this was the year when I was born. So I didn't have the opportunity to watch this rally where Stig Blomqvist and Per Eklund had many fascinating fights on the stages. 😐

Will Sparrow in the DTV Vauxall Firenza? Terry Kaby in the Triumph Dolomite Sprint? Superb footage well done ITV? and Dicky Davies. I was there somewhere in the Welsh Forests, and possibly Sutton Park. All my heros, well most of them anyway. Thank you.
