The Lancia Deltas were expected to win the San Remo Rally, but the question was, which driver? Uncharacteristic weather beset the Italian Riviera and further assisted the four-wheel drive cars, but could Markku Alen win again after the 1986 Peugeot exclusion debacle? Massimo “Miki” Biasion perhaps was the man most likely to upset the hopes of the Finn, and with the Manufacturers’ title already secured by Lancia, there was no particular team orders in operation, or so it seemed. With the patriotic crowds firmly behind the Martini-sponsored Lancia’s the stage was set for a great showdown with Jean Ragnotti in the Renault 11 Turbo and Didier Auriol driving an RED Ford Sierra Cosworth. Britain’s Jimmy McRae used his success in the Tudor Webasto Manx International Rally to land a drive in a second Cosworth, but with five other Lancias in the fray the result was was going to be well-earned by whoever made it to the top step of the podium.
The Lancia’s on home territory - what a combination the rest of the competitors had to deal with at the 1988 Rallye Sanremo, held in the hills above Turin. The early asphalt sections would suit the Ford Sierra RS Cosworths of Didier Auriol and Stig Blomqvist, whilst the ‘87 champion Juha Kankkunen was hoping to restore some pride with a good drive in the Toyota Celica GT-Four. Italian rally fans were out in force to back Biasion driving the Lancia Delta Integrale as he tried to clinch his first World Championship crown, on home ground. The battle for the Group N title was another that could be settled at Sanremo, with Argentinian Jorge Recalde and Belgian Pascal Gaban arrived at the start on level pegging, with just one more round to go in the Championship.
The penultimate round of the 1989 World Rally Championship proved to be a battleground for the Toyota Celica GT-Fours piloted by Juha Kankkunen, Carlos Sainz and Patrick Snyers and the new 16 valve Lancia Delta Integrales of Miki Biasion, Alex Fiorio and Didier Auriol.

The mild weather experienced on the Monte continued in Sweden, but it didn't unduly rob the event of excitement. Indeed, in some places the speeds on snow neared those on dry tarmac! Flat out through the slush and snow banks, the world's top drivers showed just what can be done when road conditions comprise a mixture of all terrain. The cameras are in all the right places to capture the action and there are interviews with the drivers, shots of the service crews at work and viewpoints from all angles throughout the event. There was the added attraction of seeing if Markku Alen could take a further step towards his ambition of overtaking fellow Finn Hannu Mikkola as winner of most World Championship rallies.
The World Rally Championship of 1989 commenced in the wintry wastes of Sweden. Superb coverage brings you this freezing season opener, in an intriguing year of World Championship rallying under the Group A ruling of the time. Four wheel drive was the thing to have on this event. The one official factory team present, Mazda, had entered two cars for Timo Salonen, and Ingvar Carlsson. They received a strong challenge throughout the rally from the privately entered Lancia Delta Integrales of Per Eklund, and Mikael Ericsson, plus a host of similarly entered Toyotas, Audis, and Opels. Sit back, and watch the Arctic Gladiators battle for supremacy on Sweden’s treacherous, icy surfaces.
Round 2 of the 1991 World Rally Series took place in the ice and snow of Sweden. Many drivers had almost forgotten what driving in true winter conditions was all about but fast movers such as Didier Auriol soon remembered and braking distances had to be completely rethought. Gwyndaf Evans (Sierra Cosworth 4x4), discovered this after just one stage. Many of the world's best were present, including Kenneth Eriksson (Mitsubishi Galant VR4), Markku Alen (Subaru Legacy 4WD Turbo) and Per Eklund (Lancia Delta Integrale 16v). Did the icy blasts of a Swedish winter prophesy the 'winds of change'? This thriller-chiller is well worth watching to find out!

The tragedies which had beset the Corsican round of the World Championship in previous years took its toll on the entry for the fifth round of the 1987 series, but the excitement of the event couldn't be denied. All eyes were on the BMW M3s, making their world debut. Bernard Beguin was in the Rothmans colours, while Marc Duez ran under the aegis of Prodrive BMW. Miki Biasion and Yves Loubet were expected to mount a considerable challenge in the works Lancia Delta. How did the factory Fords of Stig Blomqvist and Kalle Grundel fare? Or the up-and-coming Kenneth Eriksson (Volkswagen Golf GTi 16v)? The cameras capture the spectacular action on the tight and fast special stages.
1988 looked to be a year of total domination for Lancia Martini. The Lancia team had won every round of the manufacturers' series since the 1987 Acropolis, but their greatest strength was on loose surfaces - not Corsica's many tarmac stages. The cameras were present every step of the way as Yves Loubst and Bruno Saby fought to maintain a record the envy of the other top teams, knowing that in Corsica the BMW M3 had been quicker than the Delta in 1987, and a much improved Ford Sierra Cosworth - an extremely rapid device on tarmac - was debuting at the '88 event, driven by Didier Auriol. This exciting video captures the full inside story of a classic mid-season confrontation.
