Description: Experience the roller coaster 1997 World Rally Championship in this action-packed review of all 14 incredible rounds. Car-mounted cameras, onboard footage and fascinating interviews put you at the heart of the drama in a down-to-the-wire title battle between some of the greatest rally drivers ever.
The opening rounds were dominated by the new-look Subaru Impreza, with Britain`s Colin McRae securing his first victory of `97 in the heat of the Safari Rally.
Reigning World Champion Tommi Makinen was soon in contention in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV, and Spain`s Carlos Sainz overcame early season reliability problems in the Ford Escort to join the title battle. Throughhout the season, the likes of Juha Kankkunen, Kenneth Eriksson, Britain`s Richard Burns and Piero Liatti couldn`t be discounted.
A series of mechanical woes left McRae`s championship hopes in tatters, but in typical style the indefatigable Scot pressed on to take back-to-back wins and set up a last round title decider on Britain`s RAC Rally. While McRae needed to win, sixth place would be enough for Makinen to take the title - and the championship was settled by a single point.
Action-packed footage, shocking crashes and an intense title battle - this is rallying at its best.
