- It was an epic 2WD vs 4WD battle between the mighty Audi Quattros and the underdog Lancia 037s in the 1983 world rally championship. But team Lancia had a trick up their sleeve.

The Lancia team were such pirates. I love how they did every thing they could think of to stack theirs in their favor- using ice melt on the course, changing tires mid race, etc. This was when motor racing was exciting and brash.
I mean...they did walk the edge between cheating and ingenuity. However, many people don't realize that everybody did. Few got caught. Only difference - Lancia used to cheat in their own very unique and crazy way. Just like everything they've ever done.
This is what motorsport should be all about - bending the rules to the maximum without breaking it.
@@tiadaid modern times F1 has its foundations on that.
@@emanemanrus5835 Brawn GP's double diffuser is a good example.
I couldn't agree more, since NASCAR used to be the same way. The 60s and 70s were the big experimentation years, everyone seeing what they could get away with. It probably all came to a head with the Plymouth Superbird of 1970, going 200mph in the days when its competition struggled for 160mph.
But following the oil crisis and a string of deaths, cars got slower, restrictions got tighter, and now, thanks to foreign meddling, the loudest motorsport short of drag racing is little more than a spec race.
Pure car history, love it.
Best ever done by Clarkson. Net only to his Senna in Top Gear.
Hello yeah , pure rivarly breaking the law of the FIA , drivers who pushed the limits od themself and cars , houndreds of people watching every km of the stages . Watching modern F1,dtm,rally its like looking on some kind of comedy , f1-racing on the edge of crash touching wheel to wheel (Kubica-Alonso on Fuji with those V10 without any cers and computers) now is strictly prohibited 😒 . Watching WRC is sad , FORD,SKODA, HYUNDAI,TOYOTA ...Where are the fucking Subaru,Mitsubishi,Seat,Citroen, Peugeot,Skoda,Renault... Etc ...😒
@@ZakuKazama many people say that B groups actually was banned because it has more attention them F1
Best segment of this season! :)
The best. More of these would just make GT top TG even more!
Это точно😀
Hands down
The kind of segment that proves TGT is not just a scripted show and the presenters can actually do something serious like they do something comic.
Naruse Utaha absolutely! They care so much about history, and I love them for it.
I really liked this segment. Well done Jeremy!
He and his voice is amazing at this stuff
And well done to the editing crew.
Ovenman940 The entire Grand Tour team!
1983 WRC season: Audi vs. Lancia, Group B's 1st year.
I think you guys hitted something new with this. If you were searching to improve what Top Gear was, certainly this is the way of doing it. I do love the crazy bits, challenges and fun. But this was amazingly refreshing, well written and the way you managed to pull off a documentary-type segment with your signature on it was really interesting.
capitandelespacio it’s very much similar to the Ayrton Senna bit on Top Gear
"They Hitted"
My goodness! Somebody call the Queen. English is dead😂😂😂
Timothy Ngatia wow imagine someone not knowing how to speak the same language as you. Maybe it’s not their first language
@@stevenhickman8127 wow imagine not being able to take a joke
I am English and I do not give a shit how the English language is used. If you are writing a serious book then maybe it matters. But in general communication, especially online or in text messages, who gives a shit?. Language and Grammar standards change throughout the years, official English today is not the same as it was 500 years ago.
more historical content like this in the next season, please 🙏
i agree. even on top gear they didn't do many segments on automotive history. this could be a regular thing on GT. i would love to know more about the history of rallying.
yeah they should definitely do more Lemans / Rally / F1 history stuff.
col. hapablap are you gonna wipe sideshow bob up lik a kleenez at a snot party
I love Jeremy's documentary style stuff
The absolute best segment of this season. No doubt.
….in the world
Jeremy Clarkson at his best. One of the greatest presenters of all time. This is the best piece of the season.
Great, so I don't need to invest more than 4 minutes into this series.
This segment was from Season 2 Episode 7, just in case anyone wants to know.
Thank you sir
Thanks mate :D
thanks mate
THANK YOU
My favorite episode because this also featured the Lamborghini Huracan Performante.
The ending always brings tears in my eyes. Thats how good this segment was.
It's just the music.
@@miskatonic6210No, Not really, The whole thing is extremely emotional really, The fact that Lancia was able to bitch slap the AWD Quattro with old school RWD and supercharging instead of turbocharging and win the 1983 WRC championship is really quite something to behold, It was a middle finger, A last hurrah to the days of old to remind everyone that you don't need fancy German technology or AWD to kick ass on a rally stage. All you need is a driver with balls of steel, Extremely hard working Italians and the whine of the supercharger whistling pure music into your ears.
Dear so called Grand Tour
This kind of video is what we really like to see, a rich motorsport history like this and Le Mans Ford vs Ferrari
We want to see more of this video in the next upcoming episode, at least one episode per season
Keep the good work Jezza, Mr Slowly and Hamster
Adam 2 British cars and one American one beating Ferrari for 4 years isn't particularly impressive when you look at other le mans achievements, Porsche had a very good advert from the results one year too.
Grand so called tour
They are delighted to do these kinds of show. But, they also say it's not easy to choose what to shows since lot's of people had different preference. That's why they do all sort of things. This is just one of them
"If I want to fly, I would be a pilot." Now who can say that except a germanc man!
Say that to mark webber
It sounds more like something a Finn would say.
@@txcforever No a Finn would be like "oh this is not ideal, but acceptable "
@@txcforever I highly doubt a Finn would have anything bad to say about a rally in Finnland.
I love this. In a Top Gear episode Clarkson said that Lancia was the car company that made the most amount of Great cars. I have to say, I completely agree. Unfortunately this is the only way I get to see the Grand Tour, as I don't have Amazon. Thanks.
Mate, it's £70 a year and you get all the benefits of amazon prime delivery.
Robert Holloway £70 a year is a lot for a single tv show
But it's not a lot for that TV show, a couple of others which may be of interest and unlimited next-day delivery on Amazon.
Robert Holloway unlimited next day delivery? Damn, didn't know that was included. £70 a year is still a bit pricey I feel, but that next day delivery is sweeet
Shingo Shoji You got the whole Amazon prime thing, reduced prices, exclusives, and so many other things. I'm not one for such fidelity programs, but that one is well worth it !
MAKE LANCIA GREAT AGAIN
The best part about being there at night and a great weekend
hope
Fiat should let them do rally, though the legacy does speak for itself
Great doesn't earn money.
Hard.. if you got a Canadian (Italian) as a boss and after that a Brit guy as a boss you can't expect sentimentality and understanding of italian auto history
One of the best segments so far.
(Personal opinion, so don't hate)
The Grand Tour hell yeah
I assure you, it is far from just your personal opinion. It is objectively the best part of this series. As was the case with the Ford GT segment in the previous series. Always love a bit of history.
Dude, everyone agrees with you.
I agree but I still hate you
Im hating
"I don't like jumps"
Walter Röhl is a real dick but a brilliant driver xD
@Karl Papp He did shit talk Michelle Mouton once or twice. Pretty unfortunate stuff at that.
@@Konformation07 He also shit talked about Henri Toivonen couple times (after his death) so yeah ...
I thought he said chumps lol
Might have been an excellent racing driver, but he wasn't a real rally car driver...
I love these segments
This is a real throwback
Jeremy Clarkson at his best
Rohrl.... The Living Legend WRC ever
wyndts4 well he wasn't ever the best
Santeri Käsnänen That's besides the point. He was an excellent driver. WRC World Champion, no doubt a legend.
@@santsu1785 Röhrl literally didn't want to be world champion and he ended up being one twice.. imagine if he had actually wanted to.
@@santsu1785 He was the best. One of the greatest driver in history.
@@someguy43210 he couldnt even drive on snow
Walther Röhrl... perfection, preparation, humbleness
As a long time follower of Top Gear and then The Grande Tour.
If anyone hasn’t watched this segment.
Hand on heart, it’s one of the top two segments in the history of the trio.
I strongly recommend you watch this irrespective.
True story telling genius.
What a story? Goosebump inducing. Salute from a humbled auto car enthusiast.
Love this piece and James's Ford-Ferrari piece. Especially enjoy the winking "reenactments" - they embellish the documentary footage with something a little more visceral, allow Jeremy to add the trademark TG humor, and avoid the inherent cheesiness of documentary reenactments. Great, great stuff.
This is the video where downvotes shouldn't exist.
It's small featuretts like this that truly show the skill and passion of Clarkson, Hammond and May.......AND the countless talents working behind the scenes.
More long videos please.. love this
adithya mahesh watch the full show its worth it
JFproductionss I have m8
I love it when people use the term "flowing" when talking about Motorsport
Clarkson really nailed it with this one. More of these in season 3 please!
919 episode
The one dislike clearly from someone at Audi.
There are four already.
There was one when I commented. Audi/VW is a big company.
They clearly like jumps.
I like Audi but I still liked
Chlastek Quattro
This is one of the best segments in the Grand Tour. They need to do more history, Jeremy makes it so interesting
Best car show segment in a couple of years now.. Great quality.. well done !!!
What a legend! 'if I wanted to fly, I would be a pilot an not sitting in a car.' again, what. A. Legend
This item/piece, will go down in the history books as one of the best, if not the best example of automotive journalism ever. Amazing work there, just amazing. It’s perfect.
His appreciation for history is second to none. I absolutely adore this film, and others like it.
They should do similar historical segments for F1.
Evoo Too bad, they think F1 is irrelevant and boring.
F1 hasn't been the same since moving from the V8 to the V6... not only the sound but the essence of F1 was lost. Le mans is much more beautiful to watch atm
They did Jim Clark
@@BigMacDaddy yeah, and watch Toyota dominate Le Mans like Mercedes dominates F1. Domination is never good, sport should be unpredictable
They did back in Top Gear days.
Best 4 minutes of motoring that this man has ever done in a long time. It may be a 4 minute video but it felt like a movie, a movie narrated by the greatest orangutan,
IN THE WOOOOORLD...
These clips show what tremendous respect for old-rallycar drivers (and the passion along with it) shows in the shows of these three chaps.
Lancia's are such a great looking cars.
Well, delta s4 was really ugly, and delta 4wd was not so beautiful. But Stratos and 037 are the most beautiful cars in rally history. Only Alpine a110 can match them in looking.
Delta s4 looks beautiful, you must need your eyes testing ^^ 😉
Delta s4 was brutal, fast, effective, but not beautiful at all. My eyes are effective as well, and when they look at a box surrounded by edges and sharps, they don't see beauty. A car is beautiful when it looked carved by the wind, not when it seems designed to rape it. If you like more a modern F1 than a 250 GTO, I can only pity you.
I think its beautiful maybe its just not your thing, chill
Maybe. I only tested my taste on Tiepolo, Canova, Tiziano, Palladio, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Brunelleschi, Leonardo, Filippo Lippi, and dudes like them. I don't pretend to have the same taste for beauty as everyone on earth. Cheers.
Salute to the Lancia.. The best actor in the rally history 👍
That was THE best part of all TGT now, absolutely stunning, had goosebumps watching this. We need definitely more of such content!!!
The Lanica 037 in Martini Livery is a very special car for me.
When I was a very small boy, my Dad found a die-cast model of an 037 in this livery and presented it to me. From that moment on I was a petrolhead.
These are the kind of content I miss from the trio. This is pure car history, presented in a magnificent way, with some of the best edited videos I have seen around.
*DON'T FORGET THE CO-DRIVER*
As much as I know they just want to do Top Gear all over again...
You have to admit, this and last seasons Ford vs. Ferrari Le Mans video are both pretty amazing.
Who here thinks they should scrap the current idea and start afresh, looking back at some of the greatest motorsport moments/rivalries of all time?
Clok-Roo, The Primordial No, Too much of great thing is a bad thing
Absolutely not. Keep them few and far apart. It makes them far more special this way.
This episode as a whole and segment was my favourite of the whole 2 seasons. Awe inspiring amazing peak into history.
Would love more of these in season 3!
Best piece of motoring journalism I have seen in a very long time, hats off to Clarkson.
RIP group B. It was where some of the coolest cars I've seen came out of.
Jezza was the perfect guy to re enact the seatbelt fumble.
ohh no they've all come undone.. Okay were are good now. Ohh no the door! bahahhahahaha
There is no one that can do these segments better than Clarkson..........brilliant.
Clarkson's always been good at making documentary's, as good as a comedian he is, he also really knows how to the set the scene of a segment.
A ride in an 037 and life is complete ....
This was a brilliant segment of the season!
Lancia 037 With the Martini Livery is such a beauty
We definitely need more these historical racing moments. It's just so amazing. Please
R.I.P. Lancia. Now reduced to manufacturing a plastic go-kart that's just a Fiat with an alternative bodywork.
Ferrari is not anymore in FCA since 2016 and it worked alone anyway every year, Maserati took from Ferrari and Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio don't share a single bolt with the group (also the really bad one is the MiTo, the Giulietta is still ok), the group didn't put any money in Lancia in the last years and now it sells only one comfy (in Lancia's style) car only in Italy and the end of the life of the Ypsilon could well represent the end of this historic brand.
B your logic the Audi is just another Volkswagen.
Emppu T. But in essence, it is. VW group near monopolized the European car market...
@@Dragoneer Yeah they are good at making ads for their cars (for example the one with the Chiron in front of the Golf going into a garage, with the kid looking at it being amazed, to remind that VW "makes" that too, infact kids usually are all for Bugatti while the adults tend to prefer more the Koenigsegg, and this actually reflects onto the people who think on stereotypes too, so the blind VAG fanboys) and pay magazines, but before those they did nothing but copy the italian rivals and examples aren't missing at all.
That's how they monopolized the european car market, with ok cars (because their cars are not that bad, they make good cars anyway) and brainwashing, but nothing exceptional on the last one when you think that Volkswagen is the work of Adolf Hitler himself.
@@Emppu_T. Bugatti is another VW
One of the best TGT or TG skits ever.
Interestingly one bit of info wasn't mentioned. The tyre size rule was quizzed by Lancia if they could fit wider rear tyres and thinner front tyres keeping the same total contact area, being of course more suitable for the RWD cars, but this logical proposal was declined. They may have been competitive for another year had the FIA allowed it.
Really love these historic segments. I hope it happens more than once per season :)
Best automotive video journalism I've seen in a long time. Makes me miss Clarkson's Car Years. Maybe Amazon could have him do an off season special like this.
If he still alive, I would like to see Henri Toivonen and the Delta
Toivonen is long gone, poor guy. It was his fatal crash on the S4 that stopped Group B, if I'm not wrong.
@@marcobrancorsini2479 Yes you are right. Only couple hours after the fatal crash, they announced that B group is not going to be in 1987 rally season.
Greatest+most entertaining video on rally history/rivalry!
The 1st year of WRC Group B.
Love these segments. This was when rally racing was exciting and the cars bonkers fast and guys like Rohl were killing it
‘If i wanted to fly, i would be a pilot!’ I’m dead
next season soon please..
Waseem Somjee 20000 billion years later
Still waiting lol
They’ve been filming season 3 for months now, I think it’s suppose to release this fall
@@commonloser9845 "this fall"
Waseem Somjee 18 January
037 is one of the greatest and most beautiful cars ever made
Nothing like an artist and his tools in perfect harmony.
I am watching this every single day for the past week.
I love this kinda segments
I really liked last season's about the Ford gt
Now this legendary rally rivalry will be in movie form
The intellect, the quality of presentation, the ability of Clarkson to put the audience ín the picture - thát is his genius!
The David Attenborough of Motoring.
What happened with the full 20 minute video????
Audi : The Powerful Beast
Lancia : The Cheating Beauty
Apparently you have no idea about motorsports whatsoever.
Everybody cheats in motorsports trough rule loopholes :D
Audi cheated first by tricking the WRC to alter rules on AWD
Lancia simply gave them a taste of their own medicine
Audi didnt tricked them, they asked them simply to allow it, because they saw benefit through their Quattro AWD system... but Lancia beaten them fair and square, both with RWD 037 and then destroying everyone with AWD Delta Integrale. There were some tricks, which some would call dirty, like changing from snow to dry tires, but nowhere in the rules does it say that its illegal. So I call it Intelligent and Cunning :)
Emir HD
Ha, fair enough ;)
Such a great idea and great way of doing this type of heart touching historical documentary ! What a pleasure !
Absolutely fantastic. And I never thought I'd say something like this, but the recreation bits were almost flawless too.
Can make a movie out of this segment
The are filming it this year. 2 win is the name of the movie
GF “haven’t we watched this?”
Me “probably but it’s only 4 mins and I know more now than I knew then”
Clarkson “and no 2wd car would ever do that again”
Me “yep, I remember”
*Superb* as always, thanks guys ! Love you Richard, James, and Jeremy.
This segment alone has made my amazon prime subscription worth it.
Italian proud ❤️
A dead brand, driven by a german ^^ You rule!
@@miskatonic6210 Well let him be proud of Lancia, if he likes them?🤔 (Im German, nobody let me be proud of my country...i dont wish that to other people)
@@miskatonic6210 A "death brand" that still the most successful team of the wrc...
Beautiful Beast!
Unlike the Delta S4 (developed out of neccesity due to the '85 Audi having over 600hp...)
@@brianwong7285 it was because of Peugeot dominance and not the Quattro.
Such shame to see Clarkson getting old and none could replace him. The best motoring journalist
Literally the best segment in this season. The entire episode also tbh was epic and I felt like all the others afterwards are less amusing.
Sad knowing that Lancia went so much downhill since then..
Although I'm happy for Audi, still making quattro's, trying to make them perfect.
Just a reminder Walter Röhrl joined Audi the next year
Every grand tour episode is like every top gear special
Well, it is
jeremy and also james both doing history of cars with well researched fashion is a must
keep this as a regular season thing, every season at least one of these.
Walter Röhrl will always be my hero
wow just wow.
Best segment in the grand tour ever. Simply amazing
Best segment of the grand tour so far. And for sure one of the best of Clarkson ever.
Well done lancia for winning the world championship
chiters...
Lancia 😍😍😍
This was the best 5 minutes of the entire last season!
One of the best segments in the trio's history, end of.
Lancia is Lancia . The automobile Unicorn . Delta 😇 Stratos 😇
Thought he said chumps!
The more I watch this, the more I think you guys should just do this stuff + the three chaps falling over and catching fire. Nothing else needed!
Easily the best segment of the entire series so far.
