Watching my local round of the Australian Rally Championship (Saxon Safari at the time). I was standing on the outside of a long sweeping corner. A car came down the hill, got sideways and rolled a couple of times only to stop in a ditch righ in front of me and my brother.
We just stood there and said nothing.

1995, McRae flying through Sweetlamb at night over a minute quicker than Sainz to take the lead and then onto winning the title, still shines bright in my memory ......Top drive :D

The 86 RAC in Twiggles on a crisp calm morning,we heard Salonen's 205t16 E2 leave the start and could hear it for 5 or 6 minutes until it came into sight at full tilt,AWESOME,then Mcrae's driving on the 95 RAC had to be seen to be believed,some said Prodrive gave him a better car than Sainz,bulls****,there has never been a Group A Subaru driven quicker

I wrote a little blog piece on my favourite RAC rally memories earlier in the week
Suffice to say I'm not a great fan of the modern rally format - much preferred it when they went all over the country and did 50+ stages, and none of this repetition nonsense...
But an individual favourite? Howabout Pentii Airikkala beating all the more fancied teams and drivers in the 1989 RAC in that big clumsy looking 4WS Mitsubishi Galant?

The almost win of championship by Michelle Mouton in the Audi Quattro is one of my best world rallying championship moment !! :p :
Clother to our area, I would say the historical 1-2-3 from Peugeot in Corsica 2002... :D

1986 Swedish - the only WRC event I have been to so far...
Gr B cars hammering away - impressive (exept the Citroen BX 4x4)
