Cool.......My first rally I ever saw was in 1997, Margam Park last stage of the rally.....Colin McRae in a Subaru WRC, first rally car I ever saw....awesome experience! Since then I have been hooked!

1998 & 1999 were good seasons, good entry of cars and stages were spread out more than now!

1986. End of the Group B era.
If you think the rally is busy now and the traffic is bad then you obviously werent on the RAC 1986.

Same as Chip for me, the mid eighties and Group B cars. The good ol` days when it was the Lombard RAC, a proper rally.
Even better as it use to come right past my front door :)

Early eighties for me - especially in the Scottish forests.
Remember the Audi's dominating the event when they appeared on the scene - awesome.

Also, remeber being in the Sweet Lamb bowl the year Colin won - that was one hell of a party.

One of my favourites was 1984 - waiting for Ari to appear in the 205. 1986 (as discussed above) was the GpB heyday and was awesome but I think 1995 when McRae won the World Championship has to be my top one.

1986 for me also, first year ever, saw 2 stages, 1 in the lake district, Kershope from what I recall, as it was our first year went totally unprepared, no waterproofs, walking boots, hat etc, it was wet and cold!!!
