    Great stuff, from a great era for the sport in the UK. Now, not only don't we have a WRC qualifier, the event doesn't even run - how has that happened?

    Filmed in the woods across the road from Silverstone as a promo for Charringtons Oils - then title sponsors of the RAC Historic Rally... a forerunner of the now Roger Albert clark Rally, I guess. Was a great day out filming.

    The legend of Roger Clark just need to see him in his Mark 2 Escort with Cossack sponsorship.

      In the video for the 1992 British championship there was a little feature on it one rally. I think it was the Scottish Rally because there was a short interview with all 3 McRaes - Jimmy McRae mentioned he didn’t have to contend with buttons on the steering wheel. I’ve got a feeling it was mentioned again on the Manx

      @@PaceWorks Well it wasn't banned, since Mitsubishi had it already in 1995 iirc, and WRC Escort got it in 1997. Subaru was very late to the party.

    Funny now to see a Group A Legacy being referred to as high-tech. In relation to the Cortina, I suppose!

    Does anyone know why Prodrive didn't bring in the paddle shift gearbox until 1999, given they had this system in 1992? Maybe it was a reliability thing?

    Wait what , I didn't know the Legacy had a semi Auto Gearbox 😳 the first Impeza didn't have it though from what I remember, 🤙was it banned for a year maybe ?

    • @VHSRallies
      @VHSRallies  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Don't think it was banned. Think it needed testing - at every possible opportunity. It was definitely used on at least one national (maybe Scottish championship) event in the Legacy, I'm sure. But this filming day would have been another good opportunity to run with it outside of competition.
