Just a few videos I've come across.

Early 90's DTM montage - Full of BMW E30s and Mercedes 190s. Great video. Those 190s looked menacing.

Classic Arti Vatanen on Pikes Peak - Fairly well known video at this stage. Won a few awards I believe. That T16 was some car.

Marcus Gronholm on Pikes Peak - The modern version of Vatanen's film. Some nice footage.

What a contrast between Ari Vatanen's and Gronholm's climbs. Good find.

F....ing EPIC...there is simply no better way to describe this mans car control of a rear wheel drive Manta!! How Terry kept reading the notes after that HUGE cattle grid moment is quite beyond me..

he is referring to the moment when Ari brushes up against the wall right before the fence that they have to squeeze through, the wall gets him all squirly and he is able to save it just as they pull through the gate, you can hear the co-driver express his feelings on the situation :lol:

, but ya thats a monsterous drive

LOL

He loses the back end just before a VERY narrow cattle grid and solid stone gate and somehow he manages to snatch the car back straight with a 'kiss' of the gate and a staggering speed that almost made Terry redesign his underpants...

Hence... "Cattle Grid Moment..."

That was unbelievable. Ari = driving god. How on earth did he save that?? And the speeds they were going was pretty scary.
Also - that is how an onboard camera should be like. Not looking out the crack of a mailbox like today.

Didn't lose the back he came in too close and the front clips the wall or a rock kicking the back out.

What is amazing (on the full tape that I bought from Duke so many years ago, VHS tape!) is the speed he gets to near the end of the stage running on the front puncture he suffered in that incident with some mighty huge cliffs to the right of the car.

Not that it matters but Henri was faster in the Manta.

I suggest F1 fans search for "Gentlemen lift your skirts", great documentry from 1980 centered around Williams and the downforce issues.

Here is a full 10 minute stage of Andy Burton in his 400hp Cosworth Peugeot 306 rally car as well as lots of othe vids ... http://www.motorspor....com/view/2066/

Ok the hair is truly spliteth! If you watch closely, the call is easy left... he has to lift slightly as the back started to move, THAT has caused him to then have the impact on the front and thus the puncture... which almost causes him to collect the gate...I should have been more precise! :lol:

Also I was surprised at how simply Andy Burtons notes are...

Terry Harryman - Legend of Co-Driver

I've not heard a co-driver use the term "maybe" before? Anyone care to elaborate? I presume that's his way of saying "I think this would be a flat left, but don't trust me on it"?

No its the drivers notes and is often used to describe a corner that might or might not be 'Flat, easy, etc' so the 'Maybe' is put in and the driver makes a decision whether to lift slightly for the corner depending on surface condition etc, then if they run the stage they can remove that or change the note. It is often also used when it has rained but the pace notes were made during a dry recce, so the co-driver will likely make notes on the 'NOTES' to change the really fast stuff to include 'maybe' to give the driver some help in not throwing it off the road!

Hope that helps?

Doubtlessly old news, but

Patrick Depailler - Onboard laps of Montreal, 1978, in the rain.

Fantastic footage and sound to boot.

Music is TERRIBLE but the footage is timeless.

Talking about DTM. One of my favourite videos:

DTM 1987-Salzburgring Endlauf

Complete race from behind driver view.

Thanks for the fantastic links, especially DTM.

What strikes me with any footage of Andretti, Depailler, Pironi in these days driving a simple Cosworth DFV is the grunt - how is it possible with an 8-cylinder engine? They sure lost a lot of power through the exhaust pipe...

Never heard of that term either, but the first video shows some very definite DTM stampedes...

The Sound Of DTM here http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

not just some stupid music which makes the engine howls go amiss.

I simply do not get why people are so easy on the current reg changes to F1, they look stupid and sound aenemic, how good does that Audi sound! What an angry bastard.
