April 1, 2009Yay you got the right 3 videos!! There is another group of 3 on youtube but that is missing the footage of Rohrl in the PDK S1 E2 2:40-2:45. Only brief but a frightening demonstration of how fast these cars were.
Remember this was a “blind” rally too, no pace notes, Walter had a local (Phil Short) next to him to tell him of dangerous bits. Unfortunately the acceleration of the Audi rendered his co-driver mute and they ended the rally down an embankment.
Another point, if these things can last a 5 day rally of 800 competitive miles…..why can’t today’s cars??
