A review of the Rally 1000 Lakes in 1981. Brilliant footage including the best drivers of their time, great jumps and slides - and the masters behind the wheel.
The way I remember him the best, throwing his already heavily battered car into the Finnish scenery in the event that melted the hearts of the Finnish rally spectators. We will miss you, Colin.
