Gotta love the Audi Quattro until other 4WDs came along.

Big Lancia S4 / Intergrale fan to be honest.

Stated that the S4, though not confirmed, was capable of 0-100 in 2.4 seconds ON GRAVEL . Also one of the worse handling cars

Sound of the Quattro in first, with the 6R4 in second

But the best rally car of all time has to be the MK2

Lancia Integrale for me, awesome machine. I remember many years ago someone had an Integrale rally look-a-like, was incredibly fast point to point, had never seen anything move that quick (until I saw a scooby that is).

the whole cavalcade at Warp factor 9 thru the Lakes at 2am(ish) in 1985 (( think) was incredible!..the exhaust sounds, wastegates, dump valves, gravel flying, marshalls whistles blowing, a gzillion candle power lighting
the fastest thru the section we were in wasthe 6R4......incredibly quick!


AWESOME experience

we did a big thing on this era of cars at college. the group 'B' rally car era. the cars that were banned. and audis development of the quattro. they raced one in some american race of some sort, as usual the yanks had there ignorant technologies with lots of litres and even more cylinders. the audi had 2 litre and a turbo and it walked all over them.

i think i wil watch this program tonight

Audi and Peugeot took their cars to Pikes Peak where the americans were amused and bemused by such heavy cars going up where they were using light single seaters.

do a youtube search for Ari Vatenen, Pikes Peak you may be impressed

Wish I went to your college. Can't remember any of the economics drivel they tried to teach me, but could hear a 6R4 coming 3 miles down the road! (During the mid-80's I lived not far from an occasional rally event on a disused airfield and the drivers used to pop down in their rally cars to the local town to pick up fish & chips during the lunch-break).

I have recorded this to watch later - I guess from the title it is really just the same as the DVD of the same name? Sounds like it from the comments above. Great DVD seen a few times ages ago but will be watching this one anyway
