From Harrogate it Started DVD
This classic documentary from the early 70s is a unique view of the 1971 RAC Rally, where teams encountered extremely snowy conditions. The weather provided a stunning backdrop to the dramatic races, which feature rollovers, breakdowns and even one unlucky team who end up in a lake. The story is told using cameras inside the cars and trackside, and from radio bulletins mixed with music from the era. Helicopter cameras follow the team on long, fast straights and there is plenty of footage of handbrake turns on the slippery corners. Victory went to a very youthful looking Stig Blomqvist whose Saab was totally suited to the challenging conditions.

Greatest Years of Rallying 1980s DVD
From the Audi Quattro to the Lancia Delta
After a major transitional period for international rallying during the 1970s, the scene was set for an era during which this highly competitive motorsport became high tech, high profile and very, very fast. This era was the 1980s. Join Steve Rider as he looks back on a decade when international rallying began to command huge budgets, with manufacturers pushing forward into the four-wheel drive age. Turbo charging and four-wheel drive spawned the Group B years when the spectacle was greater than ever... but so were the dangers.

Stages to Victory 1976 DVD
The 1976 Castrol/Autosport Rally Championship was an action-packed international event that kept fans on tenterhooks until the last stages, and the four rounds shown here are full of classic rallying you'll never see the likes of again. The Ford RS 1800s and Lancia Stratos were driven by now-famous names such as Ari Vatanen and Andy Dawson, who had to contend with slippery cobblestones, yumps, sharp corners and deep mud. Some cars ended up bogged in water traps while others came to rest in turnip fields, down embankments and even in the Irish Sea!
