RE: Chris Harris video: rally nirvana

[dave stew]

Brilliant as ever. My favourite era of my favourite sport. I once got driven by Francois Delecour around Donington in an Escort Cosworth road car. Wonderful, but not a Gp B monster.

abarth sticker in the white s4? thought they stuck to fiat. amazing acceleration in those deltas though. top stuff chris

Abarth developed the engine, perfecting the twin charge set-up.

That is one of the best videos i have ever seen!!!!.Mr Harris,you are one lucky man!!!.What most of us on PH would give to experience something like that just once.I thought the video of Francois Delecour and the GT3 was the best till i saw this.Just off to watch again at full volume

I tried to vote on this and this happened...



Which is lucky. Because it was that good.

Fantastic video and beautiful camera work.

I've seen an RS200 on the road and a Lancia 037 road car in a warehouse and a Stratos in Newbury (many years ago).

So, are there any of the road cars (needed for homologation) still being used on the road and where?

[militantmandy]

Fantastic. A car lover couldn't really ask for a better day out. Great video as usual Chris.

[J-P]

Awesome Video - CH you looked like you discovered that adrenaline is brown in that 037

Spotted a Stratos near my home in Wiltshire a few months back, made my day!

Awesome video, can't decide what I liked best, the precision of the S4 driving or the madness of the 037.

[wackojacko]

Awesome !

The old timers still seem to have the skills, great cars and drivers. Odd really that so many great drivers come from tiny Finland.

[Zaim]

Fan-fooking-tastic. Very jealous but involving. Great video. Somebody somewhere had a really st day to restore the balance.

[RallyeS1]

Words cant describe how Jealous I am of you right now. Thanks for sharing!

[anonymous-user]

Amazing video.

Surely tho with much better crowd control and safety in modern rallying Group B style cars could return.

YES its expensive and not very PC but the WRC is sh**.

Who wants to watch Loeb win AGAIN.

I am sure if the WRC had cars like these once more the WRC would be more popular than F1.

As stated by Juha Kankkunen "WRC Is For Boys. Group B Was For Men!

BTW best video ever on Piston Heads.

Thank you Mr Harris.

Definately a 10 out of 10 from me. That looked fantastic. I know Chris said he was gutted he could not have driven the cars or the stage but I don't think he would have pushed as hard as those drivers and I don't think he would have come away with the same kind of awe and respect for the drivers or the cars.

No disrespect to Chris, he is a much better driver than me, but as he said (humbly) when there are better drivers out there then it would be ( I don't remember the exact words)stupid to refuse a passenger ride.

Thanks for that Chris, stunning video.

[alwayzsidewayz]

what a great video. to see the likes of "now we go maximum attack" Alen having fun in a stratos, just made me smile

you lucky lucky swine

[Bloitus]

Absolutely fantastic video... and what a line up. I'm supremely jealous over here!
I must also admit that opening sequence with the Impreza has me missing my old WRX. Time to head back to the classifieds!!

[Olivera]

Fantastic video!

[Group N]

Jism. Everywhere.

Thankyou.

[mcbrun12]

Stunning video Chris. You are the jammiest git alive.

Those 16 mins beat any of the Group B dvd's I have seen. Fascinating to hear the drivers opinions on how the cars drive rather that the usual "were they too fast to race"
