That was a proper rally. Plum Tyndall and Derek Simpson were the masters of the rally video back then. That whole event was shot with only 2 cameras - its the story behind and the way Plum tells it draws you in ! These videos are absolutely iconic.
Jimmy mcrae would have probably won that rally if it wasn't for the that mistake on stage 5 At least a British driver with a then slower car won Okay it wasn't a Ford escort mk2 but those Vauxhall Chevette HSRs were still awesome rally cars
Possibly one of the coolest classic rally videos I have ever seen! Fantastic! I’m curious, was there ever any interference or issues related to “the Troubles” during rally events of the 70’s and 80’s?
To understand his question, I found: "The Troubles" is a term used to describe: a period of conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted about 30 years, from the late 1960's until the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

Nicknamed, Homologation Special Rally, because there were never build enough - according to the rules of those days
At the very start the guy says “Quiet please”.
Who the f**k tells spectators at a rally to be quiet? It’s no snooker.

Was there ever a better time for rallying? Just before it got silly.
