I remember being an apprentice mechanic at the RS dealer I worked at watching this and other BHP FORD films in the paint shop spray booth at dinner times, they were on film rolls and a projector.....
Frustrated by all the coverage of years the Walter Rohl ran the RAC, how little he is shown in these videos. One reason being he isn't British, but the other reason is how clean he drives, so he's not that spectactular to watch, just bloody fast..
I have been watching for instance Duke videos since the early 80s, Rohl gets an amazing small amount of coverage relative to other drivers. Ari would easily be on top for coverage due to his spectacular style of course. Not sure what you mean about the "Quattro" days, he was twice World champion and Monte Carlo 3 times, besides winning many other events, before he drove a Quattro

Wonderful video! Pre-AWD...everyone is just always sideway, full opposite lock! It’s beautiful to watch.

Lancia all the way makes the escorts look antique and the tr7 v8 looks awesome to !
and yet those antique Escorts are still winning today, even against the latest WRC machines.
