RAC Rally - 1975

The 1975 RAC Rally was a strong showing for Ford, with Escorts taking the top three positions. Timo Makinen won the event with Roger Clark a very close second - both driving RS 1800s. This was Makinen's "hat-trick", having won the previous two years.

It`s so impressive to see Stig Blomqvist in the SAAB 96 With it`s relatively compared to the BDG powered Escorts weak engine. But I think they used 2 litre V4:s here that where taken to absolute max. Maybe around 185 bhp but with good torque. I think both factory SAAB:s retired with blown engines. And this was the last RAC rally for the 96 in an factory entry. Fantastic film by the way!!

They had good traction and Stig knew how to swing them. But the limitations of FWD was shown when he got Saab 900 Turbo. Not able to keep pendulum around the corners like rwd cars, it struggled to keep up while shredding front tires like crazy and frequently braking halfshafts.

Fantastic video..I have the 📼 tape...Great to see Billy Coleman, Billy lost 6 minutes when the battery came loose in kielder, he could well have won his 2nd BRC if that didn't happen if he finished one place behind Clark it was Billys fine margins from a golden era..and the Powerful Ford Team..and all the rest incredible entry of Different Car's.. @paddy Sullivan VHS 📼 1990s ireland.

Will Sparrow in the DTV Vauxall Firenza? Terry Kaby in the Triumph Dolomite Sprint? Superb footage well done ITV? and Dicky Davies. I was there somewhere in the Welsh Forests, and possibly Sutton Park. All my heros, well most of them anyway. Thank you.
