RAC Rally 1983 DVD - Description
The historic RAC Rally - one of the most prestigious events in world rallying, and often one of the most competitive and unpredictable. Now, for the first time on DVD, you can relive the incredible drama of the 1983 Lombard RAC Rally, as legendary drivers do battle on British special stages in the final round of the World Rally Championship.
Follow the action from airfields, safari parks and famous racetracks to the forests of Yorkshire and Wales in this fascinating look back at five days of the incredibly challenging rally competition.
There were no team orders to follow, so '83 World Champion Hannu Mikkola would not only have to deal with the Opel Mantas if he was to claim a hat trick of RAC wins, he would also have to deal with fellow Audi Quattro drivers Stig Blomqvist and Michelle Mouton!
The coverage shows the blistering pace of Blomqvist, the always exceptional style of Henri Toivonen and the incredible recovery made by Mikkola after a wheel fell off his Audi. Jimmy McRae and Russell Brookes upheld British pride in the Scandinavian-dominated battle for the victory, ensuring the Finnish and Swedish drivers ahead were kept under pressure.
Fantastic action footage and interviews with the likes of Blomqvist, Mikkola, Toivonen, McRae and more bring you the full story of an unforgettable year for the historic RAC Rally.
RAC Rally 1983 is part of a collectable set of classic RAC Rally highlights.
