I made English subtitles for this 1988 Kankkunen/Piironen interview programme. Many golden lines there.

Really the end of those times. I think Hannu Mikkola said that Audi was the first real factory team on the level of professionalism. Originally Posted by denkimi

I should say a "new level of professionalism" maybe, because there were as we all know, professional factoryteams before the Audi-era. Originally Posted by AnttiL

Yep, Audi was probably the first WRC manu employing wider resources but they surely weren’t more professional than Lancia/Fiat, Ford, Opel, Peugeot and even the European teams representing Japanese brands (btw, Audi only beat those on the Safari in 1987, Audi’s WRC final year).

Yes, that's what I (or actually Mikkola) meant with the quote. The level of effort and budget was so enormous to anything before that.

Talking of levels of professionalism, remember when the Teams each had spotter helicopters in the Group B days. The costs were crazy and the modern teams do it on the cheap in comparison.
