THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND

It was in 1999 that Flying Finn Tommi Makinen recorded his incredible fourth title in a row, confirming his place as a legend of the sport.

Now you can relive this incredible season on DVD, featuring high speed action, controversy and many shocking spills from all 14 rounds, plus interviews and plenty of incredible in-car footage.

The review, the latest instalment in the collectable series of WRC season reviews on DVD, features many of the greatest names ever to grace a rally stage – including Colin McRae, Richard Burns, Carlos Sainz, Didier Auriol, Juha Kankkunen and more – plus iconic cars such as the Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Lancer.

The 1999 World Rally championship Review DVD details Makinen’s hunt for a fourth title, from his early dominance to the late charge by Englishman Burns.

The whole story is here, including McRae’s controversial debut in the Ford Focus and his heroic fight back to claim two unexpected victories. There’s also on-board footage of the likes of Sainz, Auriol, Burns getting too close to the scenery!

Aside from the titanic title battle, which makes for compelling viewing, this DVD is absolutely packed with must-see sequences, such as McRae’s massive accidents on the last three rallies – including his 160kph collision with an Australian tree – captured in incredible footage.

At the end of the ‘99 season Toyota quit the WRC, and the DVD review pays tribute to the manufacturer and revisits some of the incredible rallying success it enjoyed.
