Tour de Corse 86, Original Film made with our VHS-Camcorder. enjoy the ride! look my other rallye videos and thx for watching in Memory Henri Toivonen und Sergio Cresto...
we shoot 3 hours. With a VHS-Camcorder. Found the original last month in a box. Make a copy on DVD - and then edit. it with magix easy. That was a amazing trip. thx for watching.
Coming back again after a year.. I must say the audio is exceptionally good, for such old footage. Really like the Alfa V6 singing. Glorious noise... Well done.. there was a few quite daring spots to be filming from eh?
🙏 Thank You So Much Daytona43 for this rare footage of the 1986 Tour de Corse Rally Special Stages ... May Henri Toivonen & Sergio Cresto be blessed to a Better World & Realm ... 🕯🌻🌿🌍💜🕊
Audi had already withdrawn from GpB after the Portugal debacle... Ford had gone also, at the same event. GpB rallying was holding onto a lifeline, and Henri's accident broke that. These are the final moments of GpB.
RIP henri tovinen and Sergio cresto gone but never forgotten my heart goes out to them and their families they will be sadly missed by millions of rally fans who are always being there to support
Group B was the best they ever invented !! RIP for all the People that died do to no sufficient safety !! Best era ever !!! The speed, the sound and the dextérité of the pilote !! Woaw thank you for those amazing footage !!!
RIP Henri and Sergio. Even after 34 years, it still feels like a shocking waste of talent. I do appreciate the 'forgotten' cars that get a look in, here: Talbot Samba, Fiat Uno, Renault 11, Alfa GTVs and the rest.
I've got stack's of VHS cassettes 2-3 hrs full of group B footage (I was obsessed with it as a kid and recorded everything and anything as well as some Group A stuff I'll get them on a DVD one day - but computers are not my department I'm a old school hammer and nails guy and most of the footage and documentary's I've seen on TH-cam I've got them all. The most insane Group B car of them all was the Delta S4.
A fantastic piece of film. Aside from the obvious tragedy of Toivonen and Cresto's fatal accident, it is still good to see these cars in full flight around the challenging Corsican stages. I was also pleased to see footage of some of the Group A entrants, particularly the awesome-sounding Alfa GTV6s of Loubet and Balas. Thank you for posting this!
limolee007 I've looked at the whole thing again and I can't see any repetition at all. I can see what you mean, but all the scenes actually show different cars (though obviously we see the same cars at different locations). To take your example at 1:04, the cars that pass are all differently numbered, even though the Lancia's of Toivonen (4) and Biasion (6) look identical apart from the numbers. One camera man standing at a corner is bound to produce very similar looking shots as the whole field of cars passes.
buffscrag71 Oh dear - they are different numbers on side of cars....I'm presently studying my arse and elbow and see the difference with help of a mirror! My apologies and comments removed.
Thank you for sharing with us that video, crazy races, crazy cars, crazy drivers but a sad and unfair ending, always in our hearts Henri and Sergio, and all those who have lost their lives for bring us the best sport ever.
Hey, thanks for this. Still makes me sad... the best in the world paid for lack of regulations. No skid plate on all tarmac, driving over peoples feet and at times into them, body shells that would ignite with a cigarette... the best of times and the worst of times.
@@VonlineMollineaux They were constructed using a magnesium alloy I seem to remember, highly flammable which is why in the tragic accident when you see the footage of the aftermath of the crash all that's pulled up is the chassis.
Lancia was a steel tube chassis with a Kevlar composite body. Magnesium alloy was probably used used for the wheels and the transaxle shell, but it will not ignite unless it is powdered or exposed to very hot direct flame. Many race, rally and road cars have been fitted with magnesium alloy wheels without any incendiary issues, despite being exposed to very high temperatures generated by the brake discs.
Thank you so much for filming and posting this, it's fascinating to see another aspect of what turned out to be such a tragic event. The ill-fated S4's look superb, as does Chatriot's 5 Turbo.
A wonderful time in Rally. Porsche 911, Alfa Gtv6, little FWD Fiats, the big (and small) AWD Group B monsters, a Manta 400 and a mad, missing-link R5 Turbo. Sadly, it was very, very dangerous. Looking back, it seems mad that it was ever permitted, but it was.
Nice video. Chris Bell your right should be kept in a vault.love the old r5 gordinis and the 205s and the old opel mantas as well. Them were the best days of rallying.
This video is not about comparisons - it's a tribute the fastest rally driver of his day. Please let him rest in peace. Leave your asides for another page. Many thanks.
que de tres beaux reve qui remonte a la surface mille mercie a tout les pilotes des années 1986 et bien d autre je pence pour moi que c est les plus beau rallye de n autre temps
Toivonen .and Crespo . What can anyone say . Most talented out there at that time . Tragic final rally , which effected a lot of people to lose such respected team mates in this way . . . Group B . Overpowered light vehicles . This loss of two highly respect driver and navigator . Was the catalyst that brought the end of group B . . Rip Toivonen and Crespo . Two of the best rally partners the world ever seen . .
The end (that obviously I knew was going to happen, still made me cry. We KNOW what happened; we don't need to be reminded in such detail as seeing the smoking debris... :-( Up the the end, a find video.
Very happy memories & some sad times from across the water. At least in UK we had marshals which is what they should have had more of across the channel. Some idiots used to try n touch the car as it went past,crazy.
RIP Sergio Cresto a choosen one . On all mortal incidents there are always rumors about "something wrong with the car" but at the age and also on following yrs security and reliability standards were not comparable with those excellent we have since 2 decades. And still in 2023 drivers lose their lives at rally competitions :before this other cars had been involved in mortal incidents , that of FordRS200 in 1986 and the peak was in 1989 after the definit. ban of B group when 5 pilots died in first 3 rallies of championship. The Finns should better stop playing the role of irreprehensive professors and just worry about lacks in some incidents of Finland rally .
With 4WD and some 500+ hp those cars beat F1-cars of the time in acceleration in dry tarmac. B-group times, so crazy and masculine vehicles, along with real men who could handle them in a good way, the golden era of rallying may never come back (and for good reasons) but luckily we have plenty of video material.
Shame they weren't good enough, i remember i guy pulling up next to me and my dad at RallyCross in one in about 1987 and we had a chat about it. The only original part from a metro was the mg badge, he also said they were desperate to shift them and if you had 40k they'd deliver it. Next season they were all over RallyCross
That was very last rally for henri toivonen because he and his co driver Sergio cresto died when their lancia went over the cliff and crashes and burst into flames killing both of them and jean Marie announced that group b cars will be no more after the 1986 season after the spectators were killed in Portugal

Thank you.
Wow, amazing footage, thank you for the upload, beautifully done. Such a tragic loss of Henry and Sergio but this is nice tribute to them!
thanks so much..I was a spectator at this very rally in 1986.What a dark day.RIP.
Coming back again after a year.. I must say the audio is exceptionally good, for such old footage. Really like the Alfa V6 singing. Glorious noise...
Well done.. there was a few quite daring spots to be filming from eh?
You're now 8 years older, thanks for upload!
Wow. Blown away by this footage. The original should be kept in a vault somewhere!
@phxxr650r sorry, I meant original footage!
Its on youtube. Thats good enough
What goes on the internet stays on the internet
Sergio is the most successful American rally driver/co driver we have ever produced in 🇺🇸🏁 GODSPEED
@Legio XXI Rapax Died American 🇺🇸 So American in my book
The camera work is better than most high quality cameraphone folks attempts today, thank you.
I’d forgotten what a beautiful car the Alfa GTV was, stunning, Great footage.
Rest in peace Henri and Sergio!

Huge huge balls these guys had...driving these beasts on some sketchy roads
Visually, and aurally, nothing comes close and never will.
maybe group S, but it sadly never happend
This footage needs to at least be in the French National archive…simply amazing.
Fantastic footage,, and a great reminder of this fantastic but equally dangerous era of rallying,,, and sadly the end of that era,,,!
And The GTV6 was so cool!
But what a tragic ending. RIP Henri and Sergio
Hey, thanks for this. Still makes me sad... the best in the world paid for lack of regulations. No skid plate on all tarmac, driving over peoples feet and at times into them, body shells that would ignite with a cigarette... the best of times and the worst of times.
Notorious V.I.C. What you mean body shells that would ignite with a cigarette?
@@VonlineMollineaux They were constructed using a magnesium alloy I seem to remember, highly flammable which is why in the tragic accident when you see the footage of the aftermath of the crash all that's pulled up is the chassis.
slacko 1971 plus the aluminium fuel tank under the drivers’ seat... 💥
Lancia was a steel tube chassis with a Kevlar composite body. Magnesium alloy was probably used used for the wheels and the transaxle shell, but it will not ignite unless it is powdered or exposed to very hot direct flame. Many race, rally and road cars have been fitted with magnesium alloy wheels without any incendiary issues, despite being exposed to very high temperatures generated by the brake discs.
Very good!!! R.I.P. Henri Toivonen...
R.I.P.
HENRY AND SERGIO....
I once loved watching Henri
RIP Henri and Sergio. Enjoyed watching your career. Another legend gone to soon.
My hearts go out to henri toivonen and Sergio crestos family and friends and they will never be forgotten
Amazing footage, on a very sad background, but the cars and the drivers are just next level ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for filming and posting this, it's fascinating to see another aspect of what turned out to be such a tragic event. The ill-fated S4's look superb, as does Chatriot's 5 Turbo.
I felt so blessed to experience that generation of cars in its hey day.
You can haha, I'm so fucking pissed that I'm born 14 years after
Thanks. Great video. I hate the end but i can't hate that car. It's beauitful. Best cars of all time!!!!!!!
A wonderful time in Rally. Porsche 911, Alfa Gtv6, little FWD Fiats, the big (and small) AWD Group B monsters, a Manta 400 and a mad, missing-link R5 Turbo.
Sadly, it was very, very dangerous.
Looking back, it seems mad that it was ever permitted, but it was.
funny to read people who are pretending knowing something and not naming the Queen of the rally
205 T16
Yves Loubet in the GTV6 was crazy!
Absolutely delicious sound on that Alfa.
Sergio and Henri lives forever!
I love this. Thank you for sharing!
From Manchester, UK
Alfa playing trough gears ⚙ ⚙ ⚙ ⚙ ⚙ amazing sound 👏 😍 🙌 👌 😀
Great video. I like Forza Lancia on the road. Thx for sharing.
Great video with such a sad ending. I love the S4, but the 205t16 looks likes on steroids when you see Salonen catching Allen. Good video.
johnmcluskey yes , toivo was only driver WHO can push s4 to the max ! RIP
Alen's car had no boost on a few stages early in the rally.
GTV...what a soundtrack
Il più grande pilota di tutti I tempi
Nice video.
Chris Bell your right should be kept in a vault.love the old r5 gordinis and the 205s and the old opel mantas as well.
Them were the best days of rallying.
Awesome film with some of the best cars ... just so sad the rally ended in the way it did....
outstanding cars, those alfa romeo are so easy to spot among others
Rip Attilio Bettega e Henry Toivonen 🥺 😢
Sorry,, so butiful. Deep respect fore the crew. Rest in peace. 2022 and i am also stil amazed by the speed and the power of the cars.
This video is not about comparisons - it's a tribute the fastest rally driver of his day. Please let him rest in peace. Leave your asides for another page. Many thanks.
Wow, some great camera works bro!
Still looks kinda sharp!
que de tres beaux reve qui remonte a la surface mille mercie a tout les pilotes des années 1986 et bien d autre je pence pour moi que c est les plus beau rallye de n autre temps
Amazing and good quality. Shows it has'nt been played much since 1986.
Damn, those Alfa Romeos and Lancias sounded angry!
This was in a time before health and safety!
The Metro was hands down the best sounding Group B car.
Toivonen .and Crespo . What can anyone say . Most talented out there at that time . Tragic final rally , which effected a lot of people to lose such respected team mates in this way . . . Group B . Overpowered light vehicles . This loss of two highly respect driver and navigator . Was the catalyst that brought the end of group B . . Rip Toivonen and Crespo . Two of the best rally partners the world ever seen . .
Correct immediately that name.
Reading Crespo instead of Cresto make me bleeding my eyes.
Those t16's were rapid as fuck!
rip henri toivonen and sergio cresto.. lld3r
Group b is still the pinnacle of racing. Imho. F1 is technical and memory driven.
The end (that obviously I knew was going to happen, still made me cry. We KNOW what happened; we don't need to be reminded in such detail as seeing the smoking debris... :-( Up the the end, a find video.
Great quality for a camcorder! Thanks for the upload!
Footage is absolutely beautiful....RIP Henri and Sergio.
Thani yoi for sharing this. Very traguc.
Them cars were crazy man no driving aids very little technology love it
Fantastic footage. Thank you for sharing.
ITV did a series of fantastic coverage of the Group B period, works of art they were,can't find them anywhere.
The #14 car was what, an Opal or Alfa? Either way it looks sick as hell and sounds incredible....🇺🇸✌🏻
Alfa GTV
The MIGHTY GTV6.
What a sound, and some looks tooo!
These people are insane. Not the drivers; the spectators.
I used to practice this in my '56 Cortvette powerd chevy on The Baraga Flats!

Buongiorno, la passion e arte bravo
The sound out of those Alfa GTVs 🤤🤤🤤
Look at the AWESOME Lancia!
When rallying was exciting
Gràcies!
Saludos de Mallorka Bros!!!
Amazing good video quality. Good job!
We do our best with the old cam corder. Thx
@@Daytona43 I've seen many worse footages with camcorders. Much can be attributed to the operator, though...
at 1:18 is Didier Auriol?
That was very last rally for henri toivonen because he and his co driver Sergio cresto died when their lancia went over the cliff and crashes and burst into flames killing both of them and jean Marie announced that group b cars will be no more after the 1986 season after the spectators were killed in Portugal
modern wrc is so different. those car dont slide much as modern wrc. amazing footage. rip to those who perished in crash.
I've always thought rally was the most badass motorsport.
Meravigliosamente ignorante il rombo di quell'Alfa sponsorizzata Rothmans. Pilota Andruet credo. Correggo, Loubet.
R.I.P Henry and Sergio
Never seen everything like it those cars were so quick for the time and safety came a poor second, then the crowd would stand in the road stupidity
that sound 2:08 and fiat uno 2:18😍
is it possible to have the rest please ? i'm very passionat ! thanks
this are the best scenes, but can you make a copy
from dvd and you edit yourself.
Awesome stuff dude, the more the merrier!!
RIP BROTHER ❤
Lancia Delta Integrale was advanced car for its time
Nice quality film
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo
love your footage mate...should made one big video an upload
Golden content. Thanks
