Juha Kankkunen

This is a great watch if you guys haven’t already seen it, two legends talking shop. A great conversation about Juha’s career. His take on group B being banned is insightful “the cars weren’t the problem, they had a brake pedal, it was the spectators wanting to touch the car. The mechanics would pull fingers out of the air intake ( Peugeot 205 )

Thanks, wasn’t aware of this.

The Michele Mouton doc is well worth a watch too: https://youtu.be/Jf3YMaf0ATc?feature=shared

And two old rally gits (who go back even further than Juha and Nicky) chewing the fat :

And Markku and Walter on ice :

That channel is great, some of it is subtitled. Markku was always my favourite back then, but Juha was like Mikkola, sublime car control, talent you could literally see in every bend, just a shame that unlike Markku or Henri or latterly Tommi he never really worked out asphalt as neither did Marcus for that matter.

The on in the Delta S4 is very poignant actually.

I've just watched all of these. Happy memories of what for me (and many others, of course) was the best era of rallying.

The Michèle Mouton programme was really interesting and watching Alén and Röhrl together was a real treat.

A big thank you from me for posting those links as I was previously unaware of their existence.
