Ok, ed, explain numbers, 'maybe' etc

Epic bit of driving kicking off right there.

Posted this in the Youtube thread ages ago but no one appreciated. It is absolutely bat shit insane though. I'd love to see a speedo in the corner as it's kinda hard to judge but I reckon 70-100mph through most of it?

Awesome stuff. Mk2 Escort?

Number like 30 = distance to corner in meters or yards, flat maybe = keep your foot in if it feels right, old skool pace notes

They are east to follow, the modern ones are much more complex with numbers etc!

Gotta love the Finns

Sorry Didn't see it or I'd have watched it for sure!

Ari was a friggin epic driver! Such a shame he had that crash. Did anyone else see that group B documentary on the other week? He looked so damaged :S

Never seen Pikes peak before?? Raced every year since forever I agree that if you make a mistake on the higher sections your f*cked though!

To be fair it was late, and I just guessed..being 1983 they'd have been a good chance of it being a mk2

Oh and 405 video is crisis-worthy! Sure I read somewhere that Vatanen has bought many of his old rally cars.

this is true, and most were mk2's in that era,

I love the bit in the 405 one where he's driving with one hand at full throttle using the other hand to keep the sun out of his eyes can't blame him if he has bought them, that would be a whole garage of awesome!
