  • Rallying has seen some of the greatest race-bred machines in history, and while a lot of these have gone on to carve themselves legendary and successful careers, there are a great many others out there that didn't quite reach that standard. Time to give them the spotlight for a change.

    What are some of your favourite forgotten rally cars? Today I wanted to start with some more well-known ones, but if I do make future parts I'd love to delve into the world of kit cars and regional rally competitions, as well as your suggestions of course!
    Part 2 is out! ua-cam.com/video/AFFMs_YOznc/v-deo.html

    One car that you should've totally mentioned is the Mazda 323, but not the normal 323, but its weird rally version, the *6 wheeled with **_2 Rotary Engines,_* yes that thing existed, kinda like the Tyrell P34 but rally car (even the 2 extras wheels are on the front, all 4 wheels steering).
    Now, as expected, this car is very unknow, but there are some footage of it on the dirt, and pics of its 2 Wankel Engines, one in the front (like a normal car) and the other in the back (like a Group B version), and dont forget its Gigantic rear wing that reminds of a Pikes Peak car

    The Ferrari rally car used the same wheels as the Lancia Stratos Group B cars.
    If I remember correctly the Stratos also used the Ferrari v6 engine from the Dino.

    @llmkursk8254 Рік тому +2

    While everyone touts the Group B Audis, there’s been a myriad of less-successful outings and projects. I highly suggest looking into the mid-engine project, the Group S prototype, and the less successful cars after the end of Group B.
    There’s also Skoda, who actually competed in the 70s and 80s with their own rally cars, and the Citroen BX 4TC, which was basically a heavier, worse quattro that competed in 1986, when even Audi themselves had a skunkworks team going behind the company’s back trying to go mid-engine.
    I do think highlighting the post-Group B 80s would be the easiest source of unknowns, as that period of Group A is sandwiched between two giants of rally history.

    Hey Jackoh, very interesting video and hope you make it new series. Thanks for all your previous videos aswell.
    Few suggestions for part 2: Seat Cordoba WRC, Hyundai Accent WRC, Proton Iriz R5, Proton Satria Neo S2000 and Lada 112 VK S2000 from newer ones.
    From older ones few of the kitcars like Hyundai Coupe, Opel Astra, Seat Ibiza and Renault's. Vauxhall Chevette and BMW M1 could also feature. Along with Audi 200 Quattro and Ford Sierra RS Cosworth 4x4. Mercedes you talked about a bit and Audi 50 along with old Talbot's, Saab's, Volvo's and apparently Jaguar's and BMW's too. Hell I didn't know until very recently BMW and Jaguar competed in rallies same time period as original Mini Coopers. And of course FSO Polonez 2000 Rally.
    Long list but hope it's helpful

    08:00 I'm sure that the silver Alfasud Sprint seen here was not one of the original 6C prototypes, but rather a unofficial reproduction using a transverse mounted V6 engine, most likely from an Alfa Romeo 164 or some other model. In 1982/1983, Alfa Romeo did not make any cars powered by a transverse mounted V6 and from all the information and photos I have seen, the Group B Alfasud Sprint 6C was built with a longitudinal mounted V6 engine and gearbox, similar to the Lancia Rally 037. The GTV6 had some success in rallying, including third place overall, and first in Group A. in the tragic Tour de Corse of 1986.

      Out of all the championship winning cars I've always perceived it as an overlooked one, even though its obviously still a favourite for a lot of people. Ask someone random to name a rally car off the top of their head and I doubt you'd have many people at all who would list the Ascona.
