From the snow-laden roads of Monte Carlo to the dusty tracks of Spain, the 1987 World Rally Championship provided entertainment to rival any previous race series.
This DVD travels the full twelve rounds, with superb camerawork from the very heart of the action. Lancia were favourites but BMW, Mazda and Audi were intent on blocking runaway success for the Italian marque.
Reigning champion Juha Kankkunen was the driver they all wanted to beat, but team orders demanded that on occasion he be ñallowedî to win. At other times Micki Biasion led as the HF4WDs were put into front running places.
All of the flips, dips and hard-core dirt road action is captured during the battle for finish line honours. Not until the very last round of the RAC Rally could the champion be guessed at, in what turned into a thrilling season finale. 'Duke's terrific collection of world Rally championship reissues on DVD continues to offer fantastic nostalgia trips for rally fans....the seasonal reviews are great - all work in the Motorsport News office ground to a halt as we relived Colin McRae's glorious 1995 WRC success' Motorsport News, July 2008 'Relive the end of the Group B rallying era and the start of the Group A revolution with Duke's superb season review DVDs.
