I guess it's safe to say Kankkunen had one of the best car control skills of all time
Easy motion on the wheel and nothing surreal like throwing the car full 120º like "rally simmers" do, amazing to watch something believable yet genious.
he was the artist of rallying, superb control, when you saw a car "dance" you knew it was KKK.
Earnt his money that stage,snow glare,low sun glare,sun flicking through the trees,1st water splash with the steam when you couldn’t see ANYTHING but still on it. Skills. Legend
the only man that won 4 title with 3 different cars
Sébastien Ogier : "Am i a joke to you" ?
Ogier..
Kankkunen's car control on that event, in what were impossible conditions, was just properly awesome.
Me and my mate made the journey from St Albans in my Mk2 escort to see this in 1993. We arrived at the snowy bank of parking, to play in the snow, while looking for a space. The stage was amazing, and seeing this skills of this man, and many others was inspiring. I think Robbie Head rolled the Megane that day, but might have been 1995. Anyway, the day was amazing, and on leaving the venue, the last runners were still running through. We got onto the gravel track to the main entrance as the group N cars were being watched by the spectators. My mate then says...give it some...so I honourably obliged. ( Now this was a rally prepared Escort), and to my mates delight we made so much noise on exit, that most of the spectators watching, turned around to see what all the noise was about...Marvellous!! We then had a fun journey back down the M1 in tandem with the Skoda rally team... Memories of bygone days, where you could drive properly. I think I have another Mk2 itch to scratch.
Big thanks for putting this one to TH-cam 💪. This is cultural monument💪😀👍. Juha is King 💪😀
Full opposite lock....casually flicks wipers on...thank you for another great upload
Proper driver with a proper car. Unreal control. The bit at 6:30/6:50 is class
Definitely. And 1:35 to 2min was pure madness. Sure the gear ratios are short but still, 5th gear flat out while car is in the air half of the time and never pointing straight...
Reporter - "Where did you find the extra power from, Juha?" Juha - "From HERE 💪💪💪💪, maybe."
Watched about 10 stages of this RAC, what an amazing few days with mates in a squad of hot hatches. Great times 😀
SS5 Chatsworth (10.52km) Juha Kankkunen posted the 2nd fastest time +1 behind the fastest time by Colin Mcrae. Overall Juha Kankkunen was tied for the lead with Armin Schwarz.
Hold up this wasn't even the fastest!? Well I guess if anyone was to beat Juha it's King Colin
I love those old rally onboard videos. Thank you for putting this up. 😊
The Scandinavian Flick looks awesome.
making it look easy is the challenge.
What a joy to watch. Flawless driving.
Driving looks so different than nowadays. Much more rough. Looks like he puts so much effort on steering. Suspension and diff must really high tech in modern WRC cars,
Compared to Modern WRC Car, this car has more in common with a modern Group N. Stock locations for suspension compared to Modern WRC were everything bespoke.
Once again thank you for uploading such a wonderful video. What a stage, so bumpy, so slippery and so narrow. Of course Juha was brilliant.
Mega!! Thanks for uploading. Love the mechanical noise of the transmission and all the input he's having to do
Grist, always apologising, where did he find the time. 👍
Thanks for sharing! Awesome historic footage now preserved :) Nicky sounds so young, hasn't fully developed his lovely lilting accent :)
Bit slipperyer than Nicky thought I think! Juha just dealing with it. Class team.
That was some epic driving!
The way he could flick the rear of the car around before the turns was amazing.
Yep! That's what's known as a Scandinavian Flick, or a Pendulum Turn. You brake to load the front suspension and take the weight off the rear and guide the car first to the outside and then back to the inside.
King Juhha and grist on board. Juhha is the finest ever rule WRC
Pure art! Talent never goes out of fashion 😊
Awesome view of one of the top legends from Grp B era at work..
He is correcting ALL the time. Wow.
Incredible skills from juha. Unbelievable technique. A real maestro of the car
Always went to Chatsworth on the Sunday as a kid, wasn't too far from us. Usually did our spectating from the house/gardens area like lots of others. Good to see the full stage. Far from being a Mickey Mouse stage really!
OMG, I felt dizzy watching this but worth it.
Excellent, they should have a manual class of car in modern rallying, it really adds something to the experience. Unfortunately now is probably too late to do so.
My 1st rally ear as a kid 1984...wish it wud come back to England. Got so fed up of going to Wales I've been to Spain and monte..kank n nick at there best .wrc champs 93
Kielder 93' was awesome! i'd love to see some of Kielder in these years
2 of the greatest
Interesting narrow rally stage. Awesome driving by Kankkunen
WRC drivers are crazy 👍
The Sunday stages on the RAC were often dismissed as a bit 'Mickey Mouse'. That one looks proper though.!
Juha magistral... Leyendaa👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pace notes were a lot less cluttered back in the day compared to the chaotic ramblings you hear today.
Bestial!! 👏🏻👏🏻
What a stage!
Us mere mortals would've been in the trees not long after the start!
thank you for sharing!
At the beginning because it’s Nicky Grist it sounds just like the PS1 Colin McRae games when he says “3, 2, 1, go”
Amazing driving
Thanks!!
All Hail Juha!
My problem is not the driving, but digesting those pace notes. I don't understand how drivers took in all those notes or is it because I am not English native? This is purely art
I think with the time they re used to it, and of course you have to be comfortable with the language , noting that it is the driver who created those notes, and here the driver is a finnish native
it's a skill you learn like playing instrument, first you have to think about each finger placement etc and after some time you can play the same tune not thinking about it and having a chat with a friend.
I know how the driver should go as per the pace notes, but I get lost after going with him for a minute. Those guys must be really skilled in their work
Two really Rally Monster.....
This looks like really tricky stage and conditions. Always narrow, bumpy and wet.
Amazing video !
The even madder thing is...
Someone went faster than Juha down this road...
El gran collins
Toyota Celica ST185
Wow fantastic Video 👍
I love this!
Much less stuff on the notes back then. It seems that drivers nowadays have too much information on the pacenotes, but on the other hand there were many places they didn´t mention about, mud or cutting or even a gate on that stage. Was there a limit on how many times they could practise a stage in early 90"s?
Wow !😻
Great toyota celica st185
No left foot braking rubbish here. Proper driver
Wow
I like to think I know the Chatsworth area well, but I can't recognise most of the places on this stage lol.
Is it always accessable or is it private property normally?
Guarniero in Casa I am not sure about the woods at the start, but all of the open ground at the end of the stage is all open to the public (along with the house & gardens).
Pořád ve smyku, ani na rovině to nejede rovně :-) A překvapil mě ten stručný diktát...
The road looks always narrower than the car.
Holy cow... still dreaming of becoming world rally champion ?
Rob Brydon Co driver
Grist,,,not very sure of his pace notes at times.
Maybe changed conditions from recon run? Looks like a tough drive 😳
@@redletterl78 Poor celica took a hammering.
Compression has not been kind
In what way?
@@VHSRallies VHS original would be best quality. MPEG uses compression which means in order for a smaller size, parts if the video are removed.
The missing parts are restored using calculations and they vet close to the original.
This is why SD TV looks weird today. It WAS better.
@@forevercomputing I know how MPEG works. I'm just curious as to why you would expect anything else on a digital video website. The VHS Rallies project is about saving old VHS footage before it degrades beyond the point where it can't be digitised - or enjoyed by anyone, even on a VHS deck, because the tape has perished. I try my best to use sympathetic capture methods (lossless raw AVI, not MPEG) before restoration. But yes, in the end, they have to be output as something that isn't 30gb in size. I choose a fairly mild MP4 setting for that.
