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 :)

I can see some corners in the mountain above Sliven :D No "Tree", very strange...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkYx3mHSR5Y - A video that deserves to be in this thread too. Patrick Snijers in the Manx Rally, stunning what he showed there... Patrick still claims that this is the best car he ever drove (compared to the competition he was against). :)

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!

[Leon]

There was a rumour back then that Snijers was practicing the stages for a whole week before the rally but I don´t know if this is true. Anyone?

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.

[tommeke_B]

There was a rumour back then that Snijers was practicing the stages for a whole week before the rally but I don´t know if this is true. Anyone?
Back then all top drivers did that (from what I heard), I believe there were no real restrictions to recce back then... 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.

[Jarek Z]

There was a rumour back then that Snijers was practicing the stages for a whole week before the rally but I don´t know if this is true. Anyone?

I think the recce rules were different back then. I remember interviews with drivers competing in Rally Poland in early nineties (Snijers, Droogmans, Weber, Holowczyc, Przybylski and others) and they were officially talking of practicing stages 6, 7 or 8 times.

[dimviii]

Greek championship rally Achaios(asphalt) 23 times just one long stage(Fteri) by the Greek multi champion(Kirkos).Practicing with Kadett gsi and Ford sierra cosworth(2wd) at rally.If i remeber correct must be 1988-9?

Ho (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCz9ABkrLc8)

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 :)

nice video but straggle tounderstant the meaning crossing the bars some tenths before the train :confused:

[Raven]

I really would like to have such budget and/or possibilities to make such video. Unfortunatley this time the whole idea was wasted. No tension, no power, no speed... :-(
The only thought I have after watching this is that Tlustak and snails have much in common ;-)

PS. What kind of promotion is that?

[Jarek Z]

It's true that the video lacks a little tension and speed, but it is still good. I like the music at the beginning of the movie and the animation of the snail is cool too :)

[Rallying UK]

I like it. Well shot. Looks good and there's humour there too.

Krzysztof "Holek" Holowczyc and his Subaru Impreza 555 on the classic stages of Rally Poland, back in 1997, when the rally was still held on the tarmac roads of Lower Silesia. I'm not sure if you will like this video. Is there not too much sideways action for you? ;)

For all the people sitting at homes during the pandemic, I discovered a new channel on YouTube called "VHS Rallies". They have been sharing very interesting videos from 1990 European Rally Championship. If you like Lancias, Sierras and BMW M3s it is definitely something for you! Those videos are converted from VHS, but the quality is good.

I recommend the following videos:

1990 Rally Poland - starring Robert Droogmans, Marc Duez, John Bosch, Bruno Thiry:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE91PgcVtZ8

1990 Ypres 24 Hours Rally - starring Robert Droogmans, Dario Cerrato, Colin McRae, Erwin Doctor, Marc Duez, John Bosch, Bruno Thiry, Jean-Pierre van de Wauwer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UliPuOkiwck

[Jarek Z]

There's also "1990 European Rally Championship round up" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6_GooHqr58 , but I haven's seen that one yet.

[Jarek Z]

Also worth watching is 1988 Manx International Rally with McRae, Airikkala, Wilson, Snijers, Tabaton and Droogmans:

Brilliant! Lost the count on the number of times I’ve seen it through the years, mainly because of the epic Snijers M3 show! Btw, there’s a compilation (not converted) of Snijers footage: https://youtu.be/SiBoP7tcG_s
