Didier Auriol’s unlikely Tour de Corsica rally victory in the Q8 Sapphire Cosworth features alongside RS200 footage in new DVD.
Ford fans can relive eight classic years from the WRC in this new DVD from motorsport specialists Duke – The Tour de Corse Rally 1984-1991.
The action-crammed compilation features nearly four hours of archive footage tracing the complete story of every Corsican rally from that era, and the dramatic changes the event brought to the sport.
Didier Auriol’s amazing three wins a row, which included Ford’s first factory WRC win for almost a decade in 1988, features among the drama.
The victory in the famous Q8-liveried Group A 2wd Sapphire Cossie was achieved against the backdrop of massive 4wd Lancia domination that season – in fact, this was the only rally in 1988 that a Lancia didn’t win.
The DVD also features highlights from the Group B era, including the brutal Ford RS200 and its rivals tearing round the tiny French island.
The Tour de Corse Rally 1984-1991 is priced at £19.99 and will be available from leading video outlets or direct from Duke Video at www.DukeVideo.com
