129 min Watch NowDocumentary
50 Years of Rallying Five decades of rallying, from the early endurance and regularity tests of well-to-do but slightly bored aristocrats in the mid-fifties, via the first sprints on cordoned-off Scandinavian gravel roads with stars like Tom Trana or Erik Carlsson, to monstrous long distance races and today’s high-tech events in the dust. This movie tells it all over 90 gripping minutes, compiled largely from the archives of Austria’s legendary rally filmmaker, Helmut Deimel. The milestones of this spectacular journey through time are the groundbreaking cars, the great personalities, magnificent places, and the most wonderful moments of the sport. Using special features, Deimel spotlights the dynamism, the magic, the uniqueness of rallying. Interviews with the most important drivers and team bosses add colour and authenticity to the story – from enthusiasts’ intrepid adventures to the merciless sprints of today’s professionals. The movie was conceived and directed by Helmut Deimel.

IMDB 6.8 | May , 2005
Some of the most amazing cars ever built race across Spain and head south into Africa in the 6th Annual Gumball 3000 Rally. This film captures the 2004 race, which featured Ferrari Enzos, Hummers, Caterhams, Aston Martins and other rare autos driven by an eccentric mix of skateboard pros, supermodels, Saudi royals and billionaires.

In a year of highs and lows, the World Rally Championship once again delivered another spectacular season of top class rallying, starting with the regular season opener at the legendary Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo. Despite tough competition from Elfyn Evans, Thierry Neuville and Ott Tänak, it would be reigning champion Kalle Rovanperä who would claim the title once more with a round in hand. The 8-time World Champion Sébastien Ogier would also make the occasional appearance throughout this heated championship keeping the new guard on their toes, winning three out of the seven rallies that he competed in. The official review brings you all the best highlights from this dramatic season with over 7 and a half hours of heart thumping action guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.British Paramount News No. 588

The World Rally Championship delivered another sensational season in 2022 with 13 rounds of all-out rally action. The season brought about the dawn of a new era for the WRC with the introduction of hybrid drivetrains and the use of sustainable fuel. The new hybrids provided a number of challenges for competitors, forcing them to alter their driving styles to optimise the boost option and deal with varied weight distribution. The cars themselves were simply faster than ever, and looked and sounded spectacular! Relive the breathtaking action time and time again with this outstanding review of the 2022 World Rally Championship, made up of comprehensive coverage from each round along with three extra features.WRC 2017 - FIA World Rally Championship

Ever get the feeling we re living in a new golden age of world rallying? We do. Let s look at the evidence: Talented drivers? They don t get much better than Sébastien Ogier, but he s been pushed hard all season by Jari-Matti Latvala, Kris Meeke, Thierry Neuville, Ott Tänak and, latterly, Esapekka Lappi all of whom have taken round wins. Powerful, interesting cars? That s been the best thing about the 2017 season. With the new rules allowing much more powerful engines and better aerodynamics speeds have increased and coincidentally everything looks even more spectacular than usual. Great races? With six different winners at the time of writing the answer is a definitive Yes! The iconic stages of the World s most famous rallies including Monte Carlo, Rallye Finland, Argentina and Sardinia have seen some classic encounters.WRC 1985 - FIA World Rally Championship

The year 1985 saw some of the biggest investments ever in rallysport from several of the world's leading manufacturers. Audi Quattros - the first of the 'supercars', Peugeot with their new 4WD lightweight flyer and Lancia with the effective Delta S4. This action packed record includes Ari Vatanen's authoritative win in Sweden, the thrilling debut of the new Metro in the hands of Tony Pond at the RAC and the spectator packed tracks of Portugal and Greece. There's also the open plains of Africa, the yumps of the 1000 Lakes and the slick-tyred tarmac racing in San Remo. It is all here, filmed to a very high standard often from within inches of the cars as they hurtle past.
