Title: Safari Rally Tribute
Post by Vasu Nyapati on 11/08/13 at 23:08:05

Thought I'd share this brutally brilliant video clipping of the Safari Rally of yester years!

Oh BTW! You must be an oldtimer like me if you have recognized the likes of Bjorn Waldegard, Juha Kankkunen, Markku Alen, Hannu Mikkola, Stig Blomqvist etc!! LOL :P

See you all at the Tall Pines.
Stay fit & stay safe!

Vasu, I don't consider myself an oldtimer and I recognize a number of those guys!!!

Plus you get to see:
1. Michelle Mouton in an Audi sweatband and a dirty t-shirt!!! 8-)
2. A bunch of Rear (Right) Wheel Drive cars other than a few Quattros, Pugs, Lancias and Toyotas that evolved into AWD.
3. A rally that ran at race speeds on OPEN roads. That must have caused some real pucker factor. Probably part of the reason it eventually went away.

Anyone know if those are oil coolers on the rear deck lids of the Toyotas?

Thanks for posting this. I get to watch it while at my kids gymnastics lessons!!! ;D
