This promotional film for Kleber Radial Tires covers the Daily Mirror R.A.C. Rally in 1972 with three different race tracks in Wales, England, and Scotland during three days of rallying. The film is directed and edited by Brian Llewelyn and produced by Barrie Hinchliffe, who also worked cameras with Keith Taylor and Bill Marshall. This race was initiated in 1932, and later known as the Wales Rally GB, and was the largest and most high-profile motor rally in the United Kingdom. It was a round of the FIA World Rally Championship until 2019 and was also formerly a round of the MSA British Rally Championship. Up until 1997 it was known as the RAC Rally until adopting its current name in 2003 (except in 2009 when it was called the Rally of Great Britain).

Mechanics, racers, and bystanders are gathered around the track in preparation for the second race (06:46). Racers are interviewed about the weather conditions and the extremely muddy racetrack (07:38).

Great video and well edited . I know because I was there . I did the 1975 RAC as Service Crew manager , there was two of us one service Van a Bedford CF . This really was what it was like in the service area’s and they were works teams with factory backing .
You're spoiling us with these motorsport films today! They are an absolute treat to watch, so different in content and format from the old TV broadcasts I usually see. Many thanks.
Great but the usual, they think we want to listen music! Don't play music during football crap. Let us listen to the engines.
Amazing! Super video. Thank you!
in this time, cars were totally controlled by humans only, no computers, each car designs were not same, it is much exciting to see. i am very happy to know the small part of this era. thanks for uploading!!
First! Without even seeing the video i already know this video is gonna be good!
Old school half a century(!) old classic rally with lots of once famous rally aces and some obscure cars like DAF55, a Soviet Scaldia, a Chech Skoda, a Wartburg from DDR, Opel Kadett B coupe, Sunbeam Tiger, Triumph 2500, Rover P6, Toyota Corolla coupe and even a Citroën DS.
And some lovely exotics like a Renault Alpine A110 and a Datsun 240Z.
Oh yes. The last really interesting rallys for me
Love the A110 Alpines!
Love The Who music.
Me too! Witch song is it?
@@anibalbabilonia1867 The Relay.
27:20 those are some high powered brakes 🙂. That datsun styling was inspired though. Miss the wide variety of vehicles in rallying.
Great stuff!
Thanks so much from Costa Rica! Im waiting for a video of the Rally world Cup Mexico 1970. London to Mexico DF. I remembrer Jimmy Graves football player From UK Natinal Team...as one of the drivers.👌
50 years ago this week!
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!
Awesome footage thanks for the upload!
Ja the good old days when we still knew what a woman is...
Great racing footage !
17:55 All of this looks pretty safe. This guy is having flashbacks. Every once in a while you see the helicopter. He"s like 200 feet above the ground. Thinks he's still filming Apocalypse Now.
Can't get over them leaving the stock seats and seatbelts in.
@25:21, that guys sounds eerily like Rodney Bewes, lol, I half expected him to start apologising to Thelma for being away from home.
More comb overs and nylon anoraks you can shake a stick at ……… great days !
The song at 29:25 sounds like a cross between Man or Astro-man? and the Pixies.
I had to look up that Who song because I never heard it before.
I think it's called generic Who song No1176, lol.
What the hell is the music that start's at 29:30? Totally awesome!
Ha ha, see my post at the top👍
Anyone know who the music is starting around @29:05, sounds a bit like Can to me?
It's Negativland by Neu! off their eponymous first album.
Can I give this ten likes ? or a hundred ?
Neu!

Ruined by the “music”
Fantastic, generally there is NO way I would watch a motorsport vid with fkn music over the engine noise...but that first sound track was awesome and the finisher, wonder who played those tracks, could watch this "reality TV" all night long, 10/10 West Yorks, UK
