This is Krzysztof "Holek" Holowczyc on the Rally El Corte Ingles 1996 and 1997. But be careful, he was quite crazy those days. Don't try it at home :)

Sorry Tommeke, I'm not going to watch it... because I saw this video at least 100 times already! ;) It's a classic!!! Fantastic driving of the legendary Patrick Snijers!Quote:

It is stunning indeed with BMW such rally speed and stability. Most of BMWs I've watched look more or less like in drift wars.Quote:

Before Ypres the "training" began weeks before the event, in the GroupB-era, drivers who drove a Gr.B in competition also had a similar Gr.B for recce/training, for example Snijers had a 037 for training, and some Italian driver drove that car during the rallies (even in official review-videos from Ypres and from the Belgian championship they mentioned it like that). I'm too young to have experienced those times, but it happens now and then that I hear stories about that "training" before the Ypres rally years ago, people were waiting hours to see some cars passing by, on competition-speed. Spectators blocked the roads so drivers should not be worried about other traffic, etc... Times have changed, I'm sure there still is some illegal recce in all events (you can't ever stop it completely), but nothing like those "training weeks" that happened 20-30 years ago.Quote:

Two years later... a great duel - Philippe Bugalski (Citroen Xsara Kit Car) vs Simon Jean-Joseph (Subaru Impreza 555). Just 0.4 s between them on the finish line. Bug was the winner of Rallye d'Antibes 1998...

Thanks for that video! That was the last stage of the last rally in ERC '97 for Holowczyc. Right after he crossed the finish line of the Cyprus Rally, he was sure he won the championship. That's why you hear such screams inside his car at the end of the video :)Quote:
