    Intro ♪Duel♪ by Propaganda? 1985...Anyways, only recently found your channel and subscribed. I can't stop watching these gems! Brilliant. Due to the Coronavirus restrictions I'm not allowed to train outside, so instead I do my 3 hours endurance training on my indoor speedbike and binge-watch your videos while I'm sweating my ...off! haha. Thanks & Keep up the good work! Wishing you all good health and happiness!

    Very sad as he says thousands if not millions watched the event..I was one of them who went every yr until it became the rally of Wales..I still cannot understand the thinking of this quite frankly stupid decision as thousands of fans are now without this great event each yr..sad..

      Like most decisions of this type, they were short sighted and made by small minded fartheads. Not by fans.

    God I hate it when I hear people described as 'male' or 'female' it sounds so dehumanising, like a way to describe an animal. Why couldn't they say that Louise Aitken-Walker was still the world's fastest woman rally driver?

      We _are_ animals. I don't know why you want to pick at something from 30-years ago. We cannot change the past. Focus on today for tomorrow.

      It always bothers me. It just seemed rude in an otherwise very enjoyable piece of coverage, at least the way I was raised by my parents
