Can someone tell if this is Toivonen's onboard driving at Corsica? Too bad they disabled the audio for the video.

It not real. Film is speed up. Some person who is sick with their head did such a disgusting thing.

If you look, you see driver driving in his side of the road. No driving on race line.
Also you see footage of the rally car, video quality is far different.
This is just some sick person.

I think its more a case of someone obviously trying to give a depiction of the onboard and then someone else looking at it as if it was the real thing.

It's an old vid, nothing new, but why is this a sick person? I think it's very interesting to see the last roads/route that Henri drove before that faithfull corner.

I have not looked at the video you put on from you tube.But it is definatly a fake.If it is the one I saw it looks like some of the same stage,but some of the stage I did not recognize.When Henri lost his life on the down hill tightening left hand corner there was NO crash barrier or wall there,the film I saw showed a wall at the place of the accident. Anyone who has paid a pilgramage to the accident site will tell you that there is now a wall where the accident occured on the right hand side.Directly opposite it the memorial erected by his fans in memory of Henri and Sergio it is also said that a bottle of MARTINI is encloed in the wall.Martini was the main sponser of the Lancia Delta S4 at that time.At a later date I will enclose a photo of the memorial,and the corner.

You will notice that Henri had a middle name that never appears any where.When working with Henri he sighned me a photograph Henri P Toivonen ,as a personal friend.I said I did,nt know you had a middle name Henri,what is the P for,he said B***y ,you dont need to ask me that,so obviously his middle name was also Pauli
I would be interested to know if anyone else has any autograph from Henri showing it with a "P"

Henri was two time karting champion in Finland and - to my knowledge - had very good shot to F1 but refused to go in it. His flamboyant driving was combined with precision of great track driver.

As you can see Henri signed himself as "HPT" here.
