Me too! 👍👍👍😂😂 My brother was a marshal in the lakes for the RAC rally. I was 12 and went with him. Fab days. We still track cars together. Best fun you can have with your clothes on.
The reg plate dates it as an original 1975 works car, but rally cars frequently had different reg plates and chassis vin plates swopped over. The original HHJ 700 N was clacks right hand drive Cossack sponsored red car, but it started life as a white car, as that one is if you look at the interior of the doors. Think Rogers 1976 red Cossack car was POO 505R. Great to see Dickie Davis in action.
I Used to Go to See Rodger In the RAC Rally in 1978 #When it Snowed Every Year,Dicke Did Well to Drive that Well ,There Not Easy To Drive Like that With No Power Steering and 260hp
I also practiced for year's on the carpet With my dinky toys Even had a few goes in real car's before i could legally drive Once I'd past my test was time to put The Carpet practice in to reality Dad can i borrow the truck (cortina p100) First up hand brake turn and spin rear wheels as it slides round Yep that's a pass Next this try jumping it over a hump back bridge Yeahar 😂
A blast from the past. How well spoken they were back then.

I remember the smell of the engine oil on rallies..what was it, vegetable based?
Castrol R had that special smell
Nice Training Film
Scandi flick?
Great to watch! Now let's fire up Dirt 2.0 and take the RS1800 for a spin.
Filmed at Bagshot?
I think so mate.That's where Ford did their testing back then.👍
