This footage is impeccable. This video is like a time machine. I'm born in 84 in Portugal, became of fan of rally naturally through the stuff that was being shown on local TV back in the day. I was over 14 at the time, and learned a little bit about Group B. Fun fact, lots of the crazy stuff around not being safe comes from footage around the time where the fans hogged the sides of the road and made it obviously not safe.
Almost 40 years have passed, and you still can't find so many good cars and drivers in any rally in the world like we had in Monte Carlo 86. Henri Toivonen will always be the great rally hero 🙏
I think that besides 1000 Lakes '85 and RAC '85, this was the peak Group B event. You had all the best cars in there, and pretty much all of the top drivers as well.
This is absolutely the best video for group B, what I have ever seen. All the best cars and spirit of special stages and services between of it. Just vans and many mecanics. 💪
This is one of the greatest pieces of motrsports history! Amazing footages never seen before,no music,no commentary,just raw rally and behind the scenes action!! Thank you for uploading this !!
A golden era indeed, I watched these cars flying past us in Keilder, hamsterley forest with brake discs glowing bright red, big flames coming from the exhausts, as a young lad these cars are still etched into my memory to this day. Beautiful cars, fantastic drivers. Absolutely wonderful
Thanks a lot for posting this incredible video. You feel the ambiance, the smoke, the noise, everything. I was very fortunate to assist this 1986 Monte Carlo rallye as a spectator. I recognize the Burzet stage : it was a walk of nearly 2 hours on foot in the mountain to reach the road and there was an incredible amount of fans & spectators , totally crazy at that time. But it was so gooooood :)
Yo estuve en la salida del Rally de Montecarlo 1986 en la plaza Sant Jaume de Barcelona. Nunca tuve ocasión de ver el Delta S4 de Sunsundegui en un video. Muchas gracias.
Maravilloso video. Qué extraordinaria sinfonía de silbidos, bufidos, explosiones y petardeos. Sin duda, la época dorada de los rallyes. Recuerdo tirarme horas en los parques cerrados, sólo admirando esas máquinas fabulosas...
C'était une sacrée époque où les spectateurs pouvaient voir les pilotes d'usine... l'essence même du rallye. Ça fait quelque chose de voir Henry Toivonen et Sergio Cresto à côté de leur voiture à l'assistance. J'ai eu la chance de voir ce rallye cette année-là à 14 ans, c'était incroyable 😍
What an amazing document, the last hurrah of the Group B "monsters" sadly this race was the last win for Toivonen, before the fatal accident at the Tour de Corse a few races later. Race in Peace Henri Toivonen. In the video at the Peugeot assistance a mechanic gets inside the car with a lit cigarette while someone is filling the tank with fuel. Ironically, the former president of FIA Jean Todt who made of road safety one of his main priorities during his time, was the team principal of that Peugeot team. LOL
Just…🤯 Seeing 037’s in action, in the day😍😍….and those Opels, I’m sorry, but I think I love the RWD group B cars the most! They’re all remarkable and this video is a Time Machine, to a better time in almost every way, especially in Motorsport.
C'était une autre époque avec des voitures surpuissantes qui pouvaient atteindre les 500 cv voir les 600 cv et les spectateurs qui pouvaient approcher pour admirer les pilotes et les voitures flirtait en repoussant les limites de leur capacités et hélas certains sont morts pour leurs passions nous les oublirons jamais. RIP Henry Toivonen et Sergio Cresto .
This feels so raw. I can only imagine the adrenaline one gets by driving at high speed at such conditions, or just by being there as a spectator. Amazing.
Tremenda joya, Alen ,Basion, Toivonen, Rohrl, Mikkola, Saby, Salonen.. Y Jean Pierre Nicolas, repostando el coche de Bruno Saby, garrafa en mano, Malcolm Wilson con el Metro, impresionante, hipnótico, gracias..
Waouh, so great souvenirs, it has been the first rally I have seen as a spectator, such fantatsic cars. Thank you for this video who makes me think about my youth
I was 18 years old in 1986. and I was so devastated at the time...that this had to happen to the best pilot with the most flair. group b will always be associated with the name henri toivonen
15:37 You just have to admire the realism and rawness of 80s rallying. Mechanics in sneakers, jumpers and jackets hacking away at the car. Watching modern day racing after this makes me puke... Group B forever.
Will we look back in 20 years at today’s rally cars with the same affection? I doubt it, souped up shopping cars. Yes the GR Yaris is brilliant but I don’t dream of owning one.
It’s actually crazy. These people are driving cars with the same if not more power than a modern WRC car. Way less weight by almost 1000 pounds. And a roll cage composed of what I can only describe as plastic bottles. I have a hard time taking the Quattro E2 through a dirt 2 stage without shutting myself let alone irl
Magnificent - this must be PEAK Rallying! Including the obvious Group B Monsters but also such rarities as Citroen BX 4x4, and Visa Mille Pistes (nearly spearing off into the crowd!), renault 9 a Lancia Thema? and a spectacularly driven FIat Uno Turbo ie - who was driving that so well in the snow? Great to see so many of the lower numbers too - Talbot Samba, Lancia Y10 all rally prepped. And all alongside older Group B Manta, Porsche etc.
@@Jani_Ikävalko in group b era tbh I'm surprised not more drivers died than did it was dangers and with Henri death their are still unknowns of what happend so saying what u have said is such matter fact way isn't nice at all u got no heart in u what so ever so u don't

Awesome footage, and a lot I hadn't seen before! Also nice to see the drivers with higher numbers that we don't often see. Sadly it's cut up as shuffle, I'd like to see a chronological version with maybe stage numbers and result listings in the middle.
The poor Citroën at 29:16 looks so sad and depressed oh my god the poor thing!!! It's like "waa put me outta my misery!!!" xD! Great video, thanks for sharing these gems
Ich frage mich manchmal, ob irgendwo noch die Amateurfotos in irgendwelchen Fotoalben kleben. Es wäre so cool zu sehen, was aus den waghalsigen Foto-Aktionen kurz vor den Autos rausgekommen ist... :)
5:15 Holy cow, this looks like the motorised version of the 1975 Philadelphia Flyers starting line. You know, with these modern sanitised hyper-cars, they might have superior tech in there but they will never ever look and sound as mean and raw as these beasts.

no music, no stupic commentary, just pure video. this is superb!
I hate when people put music over cars racing and whatnot! I wanna hear the dang cars! This is one of the best channels for that
Because this is the raw footage no shit.
Magnifico, thanks
@@mayawowzers1305 it's usually TV/video companies who put the music on. It's rare to get access to the original tapes like here.

Is like Gilles Villeneuve. Icon of pure talent.
Today’s WRC cars have been quicker for many, many years and every bit as exciting to watch by the top drivers.
@@MIEJ4 Probably someone would say the same about today's Formula 1, but that doesn't make it true

Quel plateau!!!
...et l'inconscience collective aussi...mais là on est vraiment dans les "Glory Days of Racing"! Un grand merci.

So enjoy with this video style

This is simply historical record. Awesome footage. Cheers.
Super bien filmé l'intervention des mécanos sur la voiture de saby. On devine le stress par rapport à l'intervention
Dios, estas imagenes es oro puro, se ve el accidente de Alessandro Fiorio en el mismo lugar que Jean Pierre Ballet, video analogo de alta calidad.
Superbes Images 🔥👍🏻. Merci.
Bel documentario con immagini dedicate anche ai piloti privati!!!❤
Thank you! Thank you! So much! I dearly miss rally across the pond here! Superb video!

GRUPO B. El mejor sonido.🏁🚗
Amazing! Spettacolare!!
