I remember being an apprentice mechanic at the RS dealer I worked at watching this and other BHP FORD films in the paint shop spray booth at dinner times, they were on film rolls and a projector.....
Frustrated by all the coverage of years the Walter Rohl ran the RAC, how little he is shown in these videos. One reason being he isn't British, but the other reason is how clean he drives, so he's not that spectactular to watch, just bloody fast..
I have been watching for instance Duke videos since the early 80s, Rohl gets an amazing small amount of coverage relative to other drivers. Ari would easily be on top for coverage due to his spectacular style of course. Not sure what you mean about the "Quattro" days, he was twice World champion and Monte Carlo 3 times, besides winning many other events, before he drove a Quattro

Barrie Hinchlife, the best commentator and interviewer the sport of rallying will ever see.
Wonderful video! Pre-AWD...everyone is just always sideway, full opposite lock! It’s beautiful to watch.
There is just something special about RWD rally cars..😍😍 every car now an absolute icon, not to mention the drivers! A brilliant film!
I am absolutely agree!!

True rally drivers to have skill to hold and control RWD cars in all conditions. Fantastic
what lovely modest drivers! real gents - esp Roger Clark
Lovely,damned old rally challenges ....i love it
Bda escort! Just awesome
Lancia all the way makes the escorts look antique and the tr7 v8 looks awesome to !
and yet those antique Escorts are still winning today, even against the latest WRC machines.
I Guess the ford escort is just an amazing car
I WOULD LOVE TO LEARN DRIVE LIKE WALDEGARD
You like being 2nd to Mikkola do you?
Mikkola was the greatest Escort driver of them all, period.
I WISHD ID HAD STRATOS. RS1800 AND CELICA
