The Forgotten Rally Cars

What are some of your favourite forgotten rally cars? Today I wanted to start with some more well-known ones, but if I do make future parts I'd love to delve into the world of kit cars and regional rally competitions, as well as your suggestions of course! Part 2 is out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFFMs_YOznc&t=1s

If a part 2 would come, it’d be sick for a more in-depth look at cars like: the Skoda Octavia wrc, Proton Iriz R5, Nissan Micra kit car, Seat cordoba wrc evo 1-3, Moskvich/aleko 2141KR, Ford escort Rs2000 or the Skoda Felicia Kit car!

That Charade 926R is one of the sickest cars I have ever seen!

For some unusual reason I find the 323 such an unique little car and I like it so much

One car that you should've totally mentioned is the Mazda 323, but not the normal 323, but its weird rally version, the 6 wheeled with 2 Rotary Engines, yes that thing existed, kinda like the Tyrell P34 but rally car (even the 2 extras wheels are on the front, all 4 wheels steering). Now, as expected, this car is very unknow, but there are some footage of it on the dirt, and pics of its 2 Wankel Engines, one in the front (like a normal car) and the other in the back (like a Group B version), and dont forget its Gigantic rear wing that reminds of a Pikes Peak car

great work Jackoh, Just waiting for a part 2 (BMW M1, Nissan Sunny, Citroen Visa, Citroen BtX, Suzuki SX4)

My favourite forgotten rally cars was group b ta64 toyota celica in 1985 driven by juha kankunnen still remembered that car jumps on safari rally kenya.

The Ferrari rally car used the same wheels as the Lancia Stratos Group B cars. If I remember correctly the Stratos also used the Ferrari v6 engine from the Dino.

Had a 323 TX 2wd back in '88, very good hot hatch. I sold it to my brother in '08. Car is in original condition, with a vrery little rust, has 180tkm on clock and drives well. Bro desn't want to give it back, he loves it.

Drinking game: take a shot everytime is mentioned Quattro dominance

Who would've thought that my mom's Daihatsu mini van was once competitor in rally back in the day.

Great video, I have always been a big fan of the Mazda rx7 rally, love the styling and the livery, and of course the rotary

Part two would be very welcomed. Some of my favs are the Group B Mitsubishi Starion & Citroen BX 4TC, MR2 222D Group S proto, and the FSO Polonez 2000

A freind of mine had an 84 FB RX-7 rally car he raced regionally, it had a peripheral port 13B, I drove it on his property in the early 90's, what a hoot.

Mazda 323 is my favourite car in RBR, such a beast 😅

Part two would be nice, because I thought you would be touching upon the vauxhaul chevettes that participated in the late 70's qua early 80's era.

Man I adored watching old footage of the RX-7 going at the rally stages. Always wished that Mazda was more present in motorsports. But Le Mana really did Mazda dirty.

Very good. Wartburg, Lada and Trabant could be mentioned, too.

For Part 2 Would be more of 1990-2010 era car's like Seat, Proton, VW (Time before The Polo R) And more of the age and Great video Theese are the content i like to see. 🙂

While everyone touts the Group B Audis, there’s been a myriad of less-successful outings and projects. I highly suggest looking into the mid-engine project, the Group S prototype, and the less successful cars after the end of Group B. There’s also Skoda, who actually competed in the 70s and 80s with their own rally cars, and the Citroen BX 4TC, which was basically a heavier, worse quattro that competed in 1986, when even Audi themselves had a skunkworks team going behind the company’s back trying to go mid-engine. I do think highlighting the post-Group B 80s would be the easiest source of unknowns, as that period of Group A is sandwiched between two giants of rally history.
