The 1000 Lakes Rally is one of the most famous – and fastest – events to
grace the World Rally Championship calendar. Now fans old and new can share some
of the most dramatic events ever seen with the new DVD The 1000 Lakes Rally
1985-91.
The gravel-covered tracks of the Finnish forests have produced numerous epic,
high-speed battles, and the showdowns featured on this action-packed 213-minute
DVD will be, for many rally fans, the most memorable and thrilling.
The DVD features seven unforgettable years of the 1000 Lakes Rally, starting in
1985, at the height of the fire-breathing Group B monsters, and continuing right
through to 1991, when Finland’s own Juha Kankkunen finally claimed victory at
the 11th attempt.
Along the way viewers see the biggest names at their power-sliding best,
including Markku Alen, Timo Salonen, Stig Blomqvist, Hannu Mikkola, Henri
Toivonen, Malcolm Wilson, Miki Biasion, Didier Auriol and many more. Plus,
there’s an all-star cast of the greatest rally machines, like Lancia’s 037
and Delta S4, Peugeot’s 205 T16, Ford’s Sierra Cosworth, Toyota’s Celica
GT-4, Subaru’s Legacy, Mitsubishi’s Gallant and the ever popular Metro 6R4.
Each year delivers edge-of-the-seat drama as comprehensive coverage takes
viewers from the Group B years, when victory was decided by just seconds, to
Kankkunen’s unexpected and emotional win.
Once again fans can relive Ari Vatanen’s amazing return from serious injury
in 1987, future World Champion Tommi Makinen bursting onto the scene in 1991 and
Spain’s Carlos Sainz becoming the first non-Scandinavian to win the 1000 Lakes
Rally, by just 19 seconds!
The 1000 Lakes Rally is a classic, and this is one DVD rally fans will want to
watch again and again.
