World Rally Review 1987

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.

World Rally Review 1988

Emerging talent from the East challenges the front-running rally teams in this riveting review of the 1988 World Rally Championship.
Although Lancia took both manufacturers' and drivers' titles, they were under serious threat from the Japanese built Toyota Celica GT4s and Mazda 323 4WDs. Nissan and Mitsubishi also made significant contributions to an intriguing season, which saw Biasion thundering through to take the finish line honours.
All 13 of rallysport's most famous races are covered, from Monte Carlo to Harrogate. On-board cameras show the teams battling through sleet, snow, gravel and mud, while helicopter cameras capture the action from the air.
Alex Fiorio was in fine form driving a Jolly Club Lancia. Frenchmen Bruno Saby and Didier Auriol each won one title round, while the Spaniard Carlos Sainz was probably the most spectacular driver of the year in his Ford Sierra. Crowd favourites Kankkunen, Alen and Mikkola were a force to be reckoned with, in what became an epic showdown between the old and new.

Triumph for 'youngster' Juha Kankkunen and tragedy at the loss of Henri Toivonen and Co-driver Sergio Gresto in an accident which stunned the rallying world to its core. Witness another milestone in rallying history with this full review of an unforgettable season.
