Rally 75

"Class" Classic Ford
High speed action from two classic British rallies, presented by Dickie Davies and featuring legends including Roger Clark, Timo Makinen, Russell Brookes, Tony Pond, Stig Blomqvist and more!
Rally ‘75 brings together two gems from the film archives of Ford, showing some of the greatest names in rallying in action on the most demanding special stages in the world. The rare archive footage transports you back to 1975 to witness the extraordinary International Scottish Rally and the history-making RAC Rally.
The ‘75 Scottish Rally saw Roger Clark and Timo Makinen go head-to-head in Ford Escorts over 1,000 miles of the most demanding terrain in rallying. The pair would face stiff challenges not only from the Lancia Stratos of Per-Inge Walfridsson, but also from in-form up and coming Brits Tony Pond and Russell Brookes. Archive footage shows you the cars at speed, power sliding and roaring through the Scottish Highlands, plus interviews with the stars as you watch a dramatic event unfold. Sadly, there is no film of the final few miles of this amazing rally, but the surviving footage leaves you in no doubt this was a classic encounter.
The action moves to the legendary RAC Rally for the second film, as Makinen bids for a third win in a row on an event widely regarded as one of the toughest rallies in the world. After the challenge from early leader Bjorn Waldegard in the Stratos faded, it became a straight fight between the Escorts of Makinen and Clark and the Saab of Stig Blomqvist. This wonderful film follows the action around Britain as a enthralling battle unfolds, right through to the final stages, where Clark was right on the limit in a desperate bid to snatch victory from Makinen. We also see, and hear from, many of the rising British stars who would go on to become legends in the sport, including Pond and Brookes.
TV legend Dickie Davies is our guide through both of these events, his enthusiasm for the sport making two unmissable films even more enjoyable.
"To anyone whose formative years were the 1970s, the sight of Dickie Davies instantly conjure simages of World of Sport. Here the great man is packing some mean muttonchops and killer rollnecks as he takes us through all the action of the 1975 Scottish Rally and that year's RAC classic. The footage is great - we particularly enjoyed seeing The Chequered Flag Lancia Stratos in action and Timo Makinen not letting a broken sump get in the way of him recording an RAC hat-trick. If you like your cars painted lime-green or orange, you'll love this" Octane
"Duke unearth yet more gems from Ford's film archive with this two-film DVD featuring the 1975 Scottish Rally and RAC Rally. Watch Roger Clark and Timo Makinen take on the Lancia Stratos invasion in their RS1800s. Class" Classic Ford
2008 Powerboat P1 World Championship: Round 2 - Marseille
Uploaded on May 24, 2008 Cynan Rhodes / ICNsport Footage Type: News Release Restrictions: NoneThe 99 Fountain 1st4boats.com crew of James Sheppard and Craig Wilson took a dominant win in today’s Evolution class Sprint race of the Grand Prix de Marseille, heading home the 88 Kiton Outerlimits OSG Racing boat and the 10 Fantastic 1 Cigarette Racing Team in a dramatic event that had thrills and spills aplenty. The race got off to a controversial start before the boats even reached the first turn as the 99 Fountain boat and the 69 Honeyparty.com had a close shave that left the 69 Honeyparty.com boat limping back to harbour with severe hull damage. In the ensuing confusion, the majority of boats managed to miss the first buoy, allowing the 99 Fountain boat to make a clean escape before building a 20-second lead.
World Rally Championship Review 1990

1990 was set to be a fantastic season, with Toyota taking on Lancia and the Europeans taking on the Scandinavians head-to-head.

Rallying came alive again as spectators enjoyed the spectacle of such brilliant drivers as Carlos Sainz, Timo Salonen, Didier Auriol, Colin McRae, Hannu Mikkola, Juha Kankunnen and Tommi Makinen, behind the wheel of machinery with performance on a par with the old Group B ïsupercarsÍ which so entranced world audiences in the mid-80s.
In this official DVD review every round is covered in detail, with event-by-event updates of championship positions letting you see how the title race developed. Or, you can forget the statistics and just concentrate on the jaw-dropping footage from both inside and outside the cars as well as fantastic helicopter views!
From the first special stage in Monte Carlo to the final chequered flag in the RAC Great Britain Rally the white-knuckle action never ends! This DVD delivers 112 minutes of top-class entertainment that no true rally fan should miss!
'Duke's terrific collection of world Rally championship reissues on DVD continues to offer fantastic nostalgia trips for rally fans....the seasonal reviews are great - all work in the Motorsport News office ground to a halt as we relived Colin McRae's glorious 1995 WRC success' Motorsport News, July 2008
