the enigma Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Just a bit of a heads up for any rally fans. Did anyone see Madness on wheels:Rallying's Craziest Years, on Sunday night? If your into your rallying,it's a pretty interesting programme,telling the story of Group B cars in the mid 80's and their demise. Brought back a lot of memories of these cars competing in the Circuit of Ireland and Ulster Rally,as part of the British Rally Championship. If you missed it,you can still see it on BBC iplayer on BBC4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntsman Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) those years were probably the best years of rally sport with the metro R4 the Audi etc... with drivers like Stig,Blomquist,Malcolm Wilson,Ari Vatenan,Jimmy McRae and Hannu Mikkola I had met them all, and was known on the circuit with a rally team My family had. great years and look forward to watching it again Edited April 3, 2012 by huntsman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard.Hosgood Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Was a good programme - and having been in a Metro R4 brought back memories - the crowds in the road was madness, and was destined to end in disaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88b Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Was a good programme, I helped build some of the RS200's. I suppose it was only a matter of time before it got out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdX Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I had a spin in a 6r4 too, awesome piece of kit. Great machines but totally mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I watched this earlier on BBCi Player - It bought back memories of BBC sport on Sat afternoons -- even then I thought it was madness having the crowd so close to the action - it's no wonder it was banned. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
