wilky Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 (sigh!!!) Now that young man, is what you call torque. No sequential gearbox in that rally car. Gp B, thats special. Link to comment
dougster Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Croft aint too far from Scotch Corner. Link to comment
st3ph3n Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Croft is near Darlington. Maybe 2 hours from the border? I'd love to see some Group B action. The quote about them that always gets me is "Henri Toivonen drove a Delta S4 around the Portuguese Grand Prix track, Estoril, so quickly that he could have qualified just five places from the pole in the 1986 Grand Prix race."

wilky Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 The audi quattro changed the face of rallying in 1981 when the 4WD rally car exploded onto the scene. Compared to 4wd rally cars today it was tractor technology but then it was cutting edge, and coupled with Walter Rohrl, probably the greatest driver that has ever lived, they were unstoppable. Other car manufacturers caught on quickly and towards the end of Group B the heavy audi was no longer top notch, but what a car. In 1987 just about the time Group B was banned Walter smashed all the records at the Pike Peaks Hillclimb in America in an Audi S1 specially prepared for the run. There is a famous video of Walter driving the route, it shows him double clutching, changing gears and left foot braking as well as driving the route. This video is also superb, if anyone can find it put it on a clicky its fab. Callum W Link to comment
wilky Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Uncle Volter and his sensationally fast car. After they humped the record. Walter admitted that he made many mistakes because it was his first time, and reconed he could shave a further 25 sec off the record. We, are not worthy. Link to comment
