These uploads are amazing man, you may get small viewership but this stuff is really fantastic
Viewership figures don't really matter, to be honest. If I wanted big numbers I'd just go out and film some cats.
VHS Rallies Same, rally is pretty niche when it comes to youtube.

@VHSRallies Your work means a lot to me and many others. For that, I thank you.
Great stuff - we didn't know it, but we were spoiled by the mainstream coverage in those days. BBC2, hourly updates on Radio 2, plus the daily newspapers. .....
As a child in the 80s, I loved watching the teatime Rally report on BBC 2.
A nostalgia that remains to this day as a 47 year old.
Thank you VHS rallies.
I was at the Knowsley safari park stage - (day 1) - great day. I went to Kielder, Grizedale and clocaenog in later years.
VHS keeps the gems coming thanks mate
I'll try.
Thank you for posting all 5 days coverage 👍🏁
You're welcome. 1985 starts with its preview on Saturday evening.
Fab video. Thanks for continuing to upload these. I'm fairly certain I went to see the cars as they drive through Buxton this year as I have a very distinct memory of the Porsches in their Rothmans livery.
Thanks for all the awesome videos, keeping me smiling during lockdown 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🏁
Absolutely brilliant, watched them all, and all your other vids, keep up the good work,👍
Thanks for another series of brilliant uploads 👍
Wow those Audi Quattros were something else in their day. Still in my opinion the greatest sounding combustion engine in the world
Great post
Jesus Ive got shitloads of rally all in 80s 90s on vhs including this aswell
Maybe we should talk, Dave!
Superb.
@VHS Rallies Day 5? are you sure? been waiting for the last day (local to me)
Eh? It's the final day - day five. No?

I've got my own personal videos from Grizedale 88-89, they're every other car, we didn't realise how lucky we were back then.
Peugeot showing Audi how to build a four wheel drive rally car 😊😊
Albeit one that was specially created for rallying. Whereas the Quattro was a converted road car. There was continual conflict within the Audi management on this. The firm did start developing a mid-engined Quattro, in secret, but it was spied and subsequently destroyed.
@@VHSRallies I just don't get the fetishism about Audi. Yes they were the first to interpret the rules in a way that allowed a 4WD car to compete against two whheled drive cars in the same class and were successful. However when Peugeot and Lancia did likewise Audi ceased to be competitive. British Leyland Special Tuning produced a four wheel drive mini for Rallycross back in 1972 and were successful, so nothing new really was there. I just don't get it. And of course Audi have milked it ever since. All good marketing and that's all imo..
@VHS Rallies You don't by any chance have any of the rallycross BL Special Tuning mini in action? I recall it being on ITV I think on Sat afternoons . 👍👍
@@TheLRider No, sorry. Nobody's given me rallycross reports going that far back.
@@VHSRallies Thanks for replying and thanks for all the great memories.
