Description: The 1987 Monte-Carlo Rally marked the start of a new era for the World Rally Championship. The Group B `supercars` had been banned, but turbo-charged and four-wheel-drive machines ensured there was still plenty of speed, drama and controversy. Experience the opening round of the 1987 World Rally Championship, and a new era for the sport, in these exceptional highlights.
Juha Kankkunen had switched to Lancia for `87, and it seemed a good move as the Delta 4WDs of the World Champion and teammates Bruno Saby and Miki Biaison dominated the opening stages of the five-day event.
As the battled raged across snow and ice, the fight to be `best of the rest` featured Walter Rohrl in the Audi 200 Quattro, the Ford Sierra Cosworth of Stig Blomqvist, the Mazda 323 of Timo Salonen and reigning Group A World Champion Kenneth Eriksson, in the Volkswagen Golf GTi.
Despite Rohrl`s best efforts, this would be a duel between Kankkunen and Biasion. With just one day left, the dominant Lancias faced exclusion after a protest. The team escaped sanction, but there was further controversy when Biasion secured an unexpected victory ahead of a clearly unhappy Kankkunen.
Fabulous footage and revealing interviews bring you all the action, drama and controversy from the first chapter of a new era in World Rallying.
Monte-Carlo Rally 1987 is part of a collectable set of classic Monte-Carlo rally highlights programmes.
