Teams strapping themselves in for a blast around the Isle of Man’s notoriously demanding rally stages always need to prepare themselves for plenty of fast and tight tarmac miles. IN the autumn of 1995 it was a strong international field which rose to the challenge.
Heading the action was Irishman Frank Meagher, giving it 100 per cent in the Ford Escort Cosworth. Alister McRae (Nissan) had his foot firmly to the floor – and the Mobil 1/Top Gear British Rally Championship in his sights.
Martin Rowe (Peugeot) and Mark Higgins (Honda) put their local knowledge into practice, and dozens of drivers from all over Great Britain, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany tackled the spectacular Manx countryside with nothing short of gusto!
This highly entertaining review provides comprehensive coverage of one of the major highlights of the British rally calendar.
To take you even closer to the action there is also an extensive selection of the best on-board footage so you can experience the awesome speed of the ‘Manx’ for yourself.
