love the way manta slides!!!
Esto si eran rallys pilotos y maquinas,era otra historia!!!!
Jimmy came 3 in the 83 rac he still says the manta 400 is the best two wheel drive car ever
Thank you so much for posting! I was there spectating at that stage, most likely one of the folks standing there in the cold. What a glorious day!
nothing can replace the sound those beasts make!!
Superb..... I went to this stage.... at Knowsley Safari Park..... Will stay in my memory for ever.... The noise was body piercing..... pure 100% power until Health and Safety interfered.... Should have left Group B as it was......They will never ban the Isle of Man TT races.....Bring back Group B..
Damm the Celica looks great! Thanks for uploading!
Das waren noch Autos und vor allem die Namen: Mc Rae, Röhrl, Vatanen... geil!!!
The three wheeled Quattro... I remember it so well. This is all a recent memory to me. I bought my first Manta in 85, I bought it because of Russell Brookes, Ari Vatanen, and Jimmy McRae. Mine wasn't as good as theirs but it still took every roundabout and corner sideways in the wet, and my 2 1/4" exhaust and twin sidedraught Webbers sounded awesome. Ah... good old days.
3:42 The legendary Audi understeer
For me I was a teenager in the 80 s: The golden era of WRC
I doubt someone like that would have an amogus profile picture
Manta is pure rally, classic stuff
great !!!! super !!! thanks for this , grtz Laurens
If only Opel would have Turbocharged the Manta 400, the car would have been a serious threat to the Audis and Peugeots. In my estimation, even without four wheel drive, a Turbocharged Manta 400 would have won the 1984 World Rally Championship for Manufacturers.
super video!!!
very good video thanks
My God the Sounddddd! Damn....
I'm a manta-driver also. I've had 6 of them. None of which original 400's though.
But my absolute favorite Rally car is actually the Escort mk1 and mk2.
The way these little bombs wrap themselves round a corner is fenomenal. And the sound that the engines make when they scream.
I know they aren't Group B cars, but in all honesty mantas also should not have been. Mantas didn't have 4wd, no turbo's or superchargers. In fact they were normal aspirated rally cars such as the Escorts and the Asconas.
pure horse power... not cyber one! Great glorious days
cheers from Genoa
very very nice
listen to that opel manta b soubds
In retrospect, 1983 was a very interesting time in that 4.w.d. wasn't so developed that 2.w.d. was hopelessly out-classed. You could still relate the handling of the top cars to the problems you faced yourself in your road car.
Current rally cars are so sophisticated they are not relevant to everyday driving. I'd like to see a return to 2.w.d. based on production of 1000 examples. Be great if manufacturers then brought out some r.w.d. cars for us as they did for Group A (M3, Sierra Cosworth...)
Sound of an Audi Quattro =
Beutiful!
that mk1 cavalier looked a handfull
toyota celica turbo....best of the best...saw what they can do in the kenyan safari rally in the 80's...
the best
Man, the Manta sounds really angry...
you shuld see it in the desert stages in mideleast,and yes it sound great.
Is that Knowsley Safari Park at the start ? I was there.
Manta power
rally began to suck when class B was banned.............. and when lancia delta s4 stepped out :(
Buffum not Buffom.
where did it all go wrong..... oh yeah.. health and safety... :@
I,m pretty sure these Stages were run on the roads around Knowsley Safari Park....These where the days when cars where dangerous and sex was safe..
1:54 TURBOLOCH ^^
cavalier sounds like a fart in a biscuit tin audi sounds like an angry T rex
Love the sounds of non-quattro rally cars.
