You know, for a great story it's important to make great work, for this reason, this is a 10 hands work (+ the special Cesare Fiorio's touch)! I really hope you'll appreciate it, we worked for months to assure you a quality video! Just to underline how much the project was important for me, at a certain point in the video I will also appear personally for the first time on my channel...
It would be great to have more videos like this for other historic seasons, like Fiat vs Ford in 1977, or the birth of 4wd rallycar in 1981... but I understand it would take a huge amount of time, material and work. Well, I can dream and for now just enjoy this wonderful piece of work.
Michelle Mouton is not only the greatest female driver in history. She is technically the greatest female sportsperson in history. Because she actually win against men.

The last Hurrah of the RWD rally car. To me, this period is the absolute pinnacle of rally. The 037, an absolute weapon of a car and the most desirable of all the group B cars. Great video! Thanks for sharing it with us!!!!
Cant get enough of the 037. I must own a model in every scale. The 037 and the Strada were it in the 80's . I grew up with these car's. The Martini livery is just timeless .As to the driver's it takes Onions to Manhandle one of these beasts on or off the tarmac . This is an era when multiple driver's passed every year .
Awesome! I remember seeing Jeremy Clarkson's episode about this. I didn't know much about group b then, but watching that got me interested and now the group b era is my favorite time in rally history. Love the Audi quattro and the lancia 037 and delta s4! Also in the 70s there was the lancia stratos with a dino engine probably my favorite rally car prior to group b era
I had a Dino 246GT - the engine and the sound to me was the best part - despite it being particularly unreliable -and the driving position offset and awkward - a nice party piece was the downshift from fourth to second with a double dab of throttle between gears spitting flames out the back - I would often catch the glow in the mirror when it was dark!!!!
What people forget is Michelle M did this in a ‘man’s world’ of the early 80s long before equality and quota filling. No free passes. Some might say in modern climate there may be the odd free pass. Michelle truly was a legend regardless of gender
Thank you for the video! I was 13 yrs old in 1983 and remember some of it on TV in Finland. Great season! Btw, my father knew Pauli Toivonen (Henri’s father) quite well
Gute Arbeit vielen Dank fürs Hochladen! Ich erkenne den Erfolg des Lancia 037 im Jahre 1983 an, sage aber auch, dass er ganz besonderen Umständen geschuldet ist. Der (Fahrer) Weltmeister fuhr übrigens auch 1983 quattro! Das sollte hier nicht untergehen... Das grundsätzlich technisch überlegene Fahrzeug für Rallyeeinsätze in seiner Gesamtheit ist eines mit Allradantrieb. Das heute alle WRC Fahrzeuge Allradantrieb haben, ist der Pionierarbeit Audis zu verdanken.
Fantastic video I was 7 yrs old when I first saw this back in 1983 I’m a die hard fan of the group b era that came next Forza lancia and the beast that came after DELTA S4❤
The reasons why Audi lost the Constructors' Championship that year are very clear: A World Cup with 2 asphalt races out of 12 in total and one of them without snow or ice as was Monte Carlo that year 83. It also excludes Safari and Ivory Coast which were "mini-raids" for "unbreakable tanks" style Toyota Celica Twincam 2WD . The rest: 8 rallies of dirt, mud and snow, should have been easily won by Audi and its 4WD car. If you don't win the Sanremo, although here the tricks-strategy of Mr. Fiorio, who was allowed to "sweep" the dirt stages, literally, with assistance vans equipped with sweeper brooms and they were allowed to put in front of the Audi to the slower Lancias to leave the dust in suspension. If Audi then due to reliability problems lost rallies that you should easily win like New Zealand and Acropolis. Then there's a car that goes very well on all types of terrain, like a 037, which is also a very efficient "authentic Gr. B" mid-engine car and you have people like Röhrl, Alén, Bettega in your ranks. If besides the Audi is a car that performs quite poorly on dry asphalt and is no rival to the 037 on this surface, and also has frequent reliability problems that adds many withdraws, you end up realizing why Audi did not win the Constructors' Championship that year. year 83 having everything in favor.
Wow Therub, that was a well put together bit of rallying, the amount of information and videos that you had to look up on that must of took you forever to do, us rally fans really do appreciate it, keep up the good work please. You and your brother make the best rally videos 😁
Very nice tribute. But eventually AUDI confirmed with the quatrro system for it and then all racing cars got 4 wheel drive to this day. Audi in 1980 had said and predicted that the time would come when even a mini cooper would be four wheel drive !!
Excellent video. I rewatched The Grand Tour Segment yesterday and there isn't very much rally footage from 1983 most of the time is spent talking about the quattro and the 037 and Group B rules.
you gota love the creative way the italians bent the rules too win . loved groupb but it was very dangerous all rallys was dangerous look at the crowds. i remeber a lancia driver saying he came back from a stage with peoples fingers stuck in vents from the crowd patting car as it passed
Same of many others you focused strictly on the creative way Lancia bypassed rules with some innocent tricks, but the biggest benting of the most stringent and important rule was by german AUDI, the rule of the 4 wheel traction forbid, a template of rally racing that was broken in favour of AUDI thanks to corrupt FIA...!
Hey tu, stai guardando questo video dall'Italia? sai che esiste una versione in italiano del video? La trovi sul canale di F1 Legends ---> th-cam.com/video/vt9VE0Abox4/w-d-xo.html Buona visione!
Per me il 037 in casa lancia è il re di tutti i rally, il deltone lo metterei al secondo posto visto che era una macchina troppo avanzata a quei tempi e non aveva rivali duri
Röhrl was the factor in Lancia winning the makes title in 83 more than Lancia's more dodgy tactics Röhrl had proven time and time again to be a thorn in Audi's side in past years Driving for the likes of Porsche in the 911 and Opel in the Ascona 400 . winning the Drivers title in the Latter Opel against all odds. Lancia knew what they were getting talent wise when they signed Röhrl on his very limited race program. he had himself driven for Fiat before and secured his First Drivers Title, and Fiat just happened to own Lancia. Röhrl also refused to sign to Audi at that time instead making it is person mission to beat the 4WD cars though he would finally relent for 1984 after Audi made it their mission to sign Röhrl at any cost so they no long had to suffer him making things so difficult for them. This interesting story of Röhrl and Audi is accounted in Walter Röhrl's Diary book 1 that can be found in English unlike the follow up book 2 which to my better understanding was never translated in English. In fact Röhrl regrets now not doing the full championship in 1983 as he would have probably won his third WRC Championship to add to his many pre WRC titles. Once at Audi he went on to create a new legend there with various versions of the Quattro including winning first time out in the Quattro and then taking the only win for the Quattro evolution Sport the big winged Monster in 1985 . and then after Group B Pikes Peak hillclimb in yet another winged Quattro sport. and then all manner of other Types of Quattro based sports prototypes in the USA and Europe. and lastly not forgetting his work for his favorite make of cars Porsche were he was a development and test driver and still is involved with to this day.
Those was the days, when I had more hair high than low on body and cars and competitions looked great and was night riding. Competitions was more interesting too.
Wait what? There is a Rallye movie about this in production and Daniel Brühl is in it? (The guy who managed to even sound like Niki Lauda when portraing him in two languages!) Seems like there is a reason for me go go to a cinema in the future again at some point.
I highly recommend reading "Diary" by Walter Röhrl. He signed for 6 rallyes of his choice and those six (3 victories, 2x 2nd, 1x 3rd place) were already done when Lancia decided to leave out the remaning events. He didn't want to become WC for a 3rd time, because he didn't like all the publicity and being kinda superstar of the scene.
Lets not forget that Lancia (Fiorio) was also responsible for the death of Henri T in their frenzy to beat the 4wd revolution, with questionable decisions made that compromised safety.
I Saw the grand tour Jérémy Clarkson Lancia vs Audi and give me the chils and almost cried about Lancia s cunning and genious . Like Clarkson Saïd the rear wheel drive Lancia beated the four wheel drive goliath. Now i want to Say that this video IS very complète good job.
Are you in Cuckoo land???? What about Markku Allan driving for Lancia?????!!!!!!!???? Not as precise and smooth as Röhrl but with thrilling skills and willing to put it all on the line. He was the Gilles Villeneuve of Rallying.... Just because a long time has passed on since then does not mean true Rallye aficionados have forgotten their heros and their mystical machines.
The 037 wasn't even that impressive when compared to the Delta Integrale S4 Evolution that Lancia fielded the following year in 1984. The 037 really only excelled on paved stages of rallies when compared to the Quattro.
Excellent, I'm just wondering if it's so difficult for an English speaking person to pronounce "LANCIA" in the right way, "LAN-CHA", not "LAN-SIA", which in Italian means "The Anxiety". Come on, repeat with me: "LAN-CHA, LAN-CHA, LAN-CHA...". In a couple of minutes you should be ready.
You know, for a great story it's important to make great work, for this reason, this is a 10 hands work (+ the special Cesare Fiorio's touch)!
I really hope you'll appreciate it, we worked for months to assure you a quality video!

The last Hurrah of the RWD rally car. To me, this period is the absolute pinnacle of rally. The 037, an absolute weapon of a car and the most desirable of all the group B cars.
Great video! Thanks for sharing it with us!!!!
Thanks a lot Robert!
1983, the most incredible rally season ever indeed. Besides 1995, 1998, 2003, 2001 and every single Group B season from 1983 to 1986. :)
Cant get enough of the 037. I must own a model in every scale. The 037 and the Strada were it in the 80's .

The Lancia 037 remains Röhrl's favorite car.
I remember that year's Acropolis. It was a shock that Lancia won 1-2 over the Audis. Had a model car 037 on my schoolboy library shelf. ❤

I don't know about his 'diving' capabilities, but he sure was the best driver out there....😁😎
Best driver still alive from that Era
"I don't like jumps"
Yep, right up there with Tom Daly !
Fantastic video
I was 7 yrs old when I first saw this back in 1983
I’m a die hard fan of the group b era that came next
Forza lancia and the beast that came after
DELTA S4❤
haha, i can imagine angry italian tourists complaining and yelling at police demanding the road to be cleaned, gotta love the italians
Fantastic footage and commentary. Thank you!
This is even better than the movie. Great work!
The reasons why Audi lost the Constructors' Championship that year are very clear:
A World Cup with 2 asphalt races out of 12 in total and one of them without snow or ice as was Monte Carlo that year 83. It also excludes Safari and Ivory Coast which were "mini-raids" for "unbreakable tanks" style Toyota Celica Twincam 2WD . The rest: 8 rallies of dirt, mud and snow, should have been easily won by Audi and its 4WD car.
If you don't win the Sanremo, although here the tricks-strategy of Mr. Fiorio, who was allowed to "sweep" the dirt stages, literally, with assistance vans equipped with sweeper brooms and they were allowed to put in front of the Audi to the slower Lancias to leave the dust in suspension.
If Audi then due to reliability problems lost rallies that you should easily win like New Zealand and Acropolis.
Then there's a car that goes very well on all types of terrain, like a 037, which is also a very efficient "authentic Gr. B" mid-engine car and you have people like Röhrl, Alén, Bettega in your ranks.
If besides the Audi is a car that performs quite poorly on dry asphalt and is no rival to the 037 on this surface, and also has frequent reliability problems that adds many withdraws, you end up realizing why Audi did not win the Constructors' Championship that year. year 83 having everything in favor.
Thank you! This has always been my favorite year of motorsport and I adore the 037, but I had never heard the story in this much detail
Thank you for this video, unforgettable season 👍
Thank a lot buddy ,can't wait to see more videos from your channel
Muchas gracias!!!! 🇵🇱CANTABRIA 🇵🇱 🇪🇸 SPAIN 🇪🇸
Wow Therub, that was a well put together bit of rallying, the amount of information and videos that you had to look up on that must of took you forever to do, us rally fans really do appreciate it, keep up the good work please.
You and your brother make the best rally videos 😁
Amazing Documentary!!!Incredible work!
Thank you for this interesting video and information collection🙂👍
Great documentary, thank you!
Wow. Good job, great commentary!!!
YES A MOVIE ABOUT IT I WANNA SEE IT. That is nice
Great video thanks
初めまして、素晴らしい動画ありがとうございます。
What a great story, it felt like it came out of a movie, I hope that this future movie does it justice. Grazie e mi sono iscritto
Good job! Thank you!
Awesome video!
Thanks so much.
I love this.
Such a shame that Lancia withdrawn the last two events... By the way, epic season and epic video! 🎉 Greetings from Sanremo!
Amazing video !!!!
Very nice tribute. But eventually AUDI confirmed with the quatrro system for it and then all racing cars got 4 wheel drive to this day. Audi in 1980 had said and predicted that the time would come when even a mini cooper would be four wheel drive !!
Gran reportaje. Gracias
Fiorio: Salt of the Earth 😊🇮🇹
Excellent video. I rewatched The Grand Tour Segment yesterday and there isn't very much rally footage from 1983 most of the time is spent talking about the quattro and the 037 and Group B rules.
Thanks Marv, these words by an Expert like you mean a lot to me
Lancia 037 ❤
Love the thumbnail: Tall driver in the small car and small driver in the big car 🙂
proper video, thanks. please more content with 80s and 90s rally!
Super Vidéo👌👌 BRAVO👍
nICE VIDEO
Totally forgot I remember forgetting about this
Bravissimo!!!!!!
This is the most interesting story in automotive history.
😃top video
Always Forza lancia ❤️
you gota love the creative way the italians bent the rules too win . loved groupb but it was very dangerous all rallys was dangerous look at the crowds. i remeber a lancia driver saying he came back from a stage with peoples fingers stuck in vents from the crowd patting car as it passed
Same of many others you focused strictly on the creative way Lancia bypassed rules with some innocent tricks, but the biggest benting of the most stringent and important rule was by german AUDI, the rule of the 4 wheel traction forbid, a template of rally racing that was broken in favour of AUDI thanks to corrupt FIA...!
Hey tu, stai guardando questo video dall'Italia? sai che esiste una versione in italiano del video? La trovi sul canale di F1 Legends ---> th-cam.com/video/vt9VE0Abox4/w-d-xo.html Buona visione!
Bravo!
1983. The greatest WRC Season ever apart from 1995 and 1998.
1998 soon on the Channel 😀
Quando a aderência não era o mais importante o 037 era um ótimo carro.
Excellent
037 not only unique. It one of the sexiest car I've ever seen
annata epica per il rally 💪💪💪
Grazie di essere passato Super, spero la storia ti sia piaciuta 😉
Per me il 037 in casa lancia è il re di tutti i rally, il deltone lo metterei al secondo posto visto che era una macchina troppo avanzata a quei tempi e non aveva rivali duri
Röhrl was the factor in Lancia winning the makes title in 83 more than Lancia's more dodgy tactics Röhrl had proven time and time again to be a thorn in Audi's side in past years Driving for the likes of Porsche in the 911 and Opel in the Ascona 400 .
winning the Drivers title in the Latter Opel against all odds. Lancia knew what they were getting talent wise when they signed Röhrl on his very limited race program. he had himself driven for Fiat before and secured his First Drivers Title, and Fiat just happened to own Lancia.
Röhrl also refused to sign to Audi at that time instead making it is person mission to beat the 4WD cars though he would finally relent for 1984 after Audi made it their mission to sign Röhrl at any cost so they no long had to suffer him making things so difficult for them.
This interesting story of Röhrl and Audi is accounted in Walter Röhrl's Diary book 1 that can be found in English unlike the follow up book 2 which to my better understanding was never translated in English.
In fact Röhrl regrets now not doing the full championship in 1983 as he would have probably won his third WRC Championship to add to his many pre WRC titles.
Once at Audi he went on to create a new legend there with various versions of the Quattro including winning first time out in the Quattro and then taking the only win for the Quattro evolution Sport the big winged Monster in 1985 . and then after Group B Pikes Peak hillclimb in yet another winged Quattro sport. and then all manner of other Types of Quattro based sports prototypes in the USA and Europe.
and lastly not forgetting his work for his favorite make of cars Porsche were he was a development and test driver and still is involved with to this day.
Do you plan to do more documentaries like this ?
Those was the days, when I had more hair high than low on body and cars and competitions looked great and was night riding. Competitions was more interesting too.
Ciao RUB, scusa il ritardo. Go un grosso problema sul computer che mi impedisce di vedere TH-cam, bellissimo documentario! Ciao.👍
Ciao Yuri, tranquillo! Spero che tu sia riuscito a vederlo bene nonostante il problema
@@TheRUBrally Si, con la navigazione in incognito ho potuto attuare il traduttore in Italiano, ancora complimenti!
Seeing how the main character of the "2 Win" will be an engineer, I don't think it's going to be as fun to watch as Ford v Ferrari
Love the Lancia Stratos..
Wait what? There is a Rallye movie about this in production and Daniel Brühl is in it? (The guy who managed to even sound like Niki Lauda when portraing him in two languages!)
Seems like there is a reason for me go go to a cinema in the future again at some point.
Are you from East York’s?
Halifax West Yorkshire mate
both amazing', cars for that time'! this shows its the race' car driver', not the cars power', peace
What was the reason for Stig Blomqvist being excluded from the New Zealand round?
.
.
Lancia couldn't win without cheating
@@EpicFatLip - Troll
There were rules about late entries and Blomqvist’s entry was too late.
Haha, nice response from Lancia to Rohrl. He refuses to drive in Filnand and Lancia canceled last two races when Rohrl had a big chance for title.
He didn't like the "shumps" of finnland, he is a special one. But a genius
@@JP-xd6fm I can understand that only if he had issues with spine.
I highly recommend reading "Diary" by Walter Röhrl. He signed for 6 rallyes of his choice and those six (3 victories, 2x 2nd, 1x 3rd place) were already done when Lancia decided to leave out the remaning events. He didn't want to become WC for a 3rd time, because he didn't like all the publicity and being kinda superstar of the scene.
@@Donnerfink Yeah yeah, he did not want title and bla bla. This for sure I won't believe.
@@bestopinion9257 Yeah whatever...troll
Believing against facts is always a wise man's choice rofl
Everyone said na na na na. Audi 4wd car wont work everyone doubted it ...audi new 4wd car at the time wins everything 🙂😃😃👍 the rest is history 👍👍
Lets not forget that Lancia (Fiorio) was also responsible for the death of Henri T in their frenzy to beat the 4wd revolution, with questionable decisions made that compromised safety.
The place where the current "small" rallies' system has born. No protection, lot of power, but mostly manouverability.
Thw best lookinh car at this time was the Renault 5 ....awesome.
Any chance of some subtitles?
I uploaded the video with subititles... Just Remember to Active them, mate 😅
@@TheRUBrally am talking about the English spoken commentary 🤣
@@schanche1965 yes, you have to active them... There Is a button on the left of the video quality...
I Saw the grand tour Jérémy Clarkson Lancia vs Audi and give me the chils and almost cried about Lancia s cunning and genious . Like Clarkson Saïd the rear wheel drive Lancia beated the four wheel drive goliath. Now i want to Say that this video IS very complète good job.
Audi four wheel drive vs Lancia two week drive.. 🤣🤣 Then came Peugeot and Lancia four wheel drive. Wonder what happened then?
Maybe, if this episode will have a nice interest in TH-cam I will prepare another similar video 😉
Then came Group B and they all went crazy....🔥
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
🔝🔝🔝
Much better than the Grand Tour garbage fiction from a few years ago.
Was Also great
New movie coming in 2024: Race for Glory: Audi vs Lancia
Yes I said in the video
Real Rally!!!!
Walter 👍
This is Real rallycars compared to todays toycars
I completely agree. These drivers where incredible, not just lightening reflexes, but True six/5 speed with 3 pedals! Not just to start! Incredible!!!
Only in my country of NZ would you have a rally car tangle with a cow
The only lesson from this story: Lancia were cheaters.
👍👍
and Audi influence the change of rules that allowed 4wd
Lancia forever
Are you in Cuckoo land???? What about Markku Allan driving for Lancia?????!!!!!!!???? Not as precise and smooth as Röhrl but with thrilling skills and willing to put it all on the line. He was the Gilles Villeneuve of Rallying.... Just because a long time has passed on since then does not mean true Rallye aficionados have forgotten their heros and their mystical machines.
Markku Allan ??? 😅
sorry but that background music drives me crazy
Quattro all day
The 037 wasn't even that impressive when compared to the Delta Integrale S4 Evolution that Lancia fielded the following year in 1984. The 037 really only excelled on paved stages of rallies when compared to the Quattro.
Quando lancia era ancora lancia
i don't like jumps~
Excellent, I'm just wondering if it's so difficult for an English speaking person to pronounce "LANCIA" in the right way, "LAN-CHA", not "LAN-SIA", which in Italian means "The Anxiety". Come on, repeat with me: "LAN-CHA, LAN-CHA, LAN-CHA...". In a couple of minutes you should be ready.
When did a actual movie based on this became a thing?
2023!
