From Harrogate it Started is a unique view of the 1971 RAC Rally, where teams encountered some of the most extreme weather conditions the Rally had seen in years.
The weather provided a stunning backdrop to the dramatic action, which features rollovers, breakdowns and even one unlucky team who end up in a lake. The story is told using cameras inside the cars and trackside, and from audio radio bulletins with classic music from the era.
Helicopter cameras follow the cars on long, fast straights and there is plenty of footage of
handbrake turns on the slippery corners. This film features the very best drivers of the time including Roger Clark, Timo Makinen and Hannu Mikkola. Victory eventually went to a youthful looking Stig Blomqvist whose Saab was totally suited to the challenging conditions.
This classic Rally film has been Digitally Re-mastered and contains previously unseen footage.

At only 35 minutes, and with no extras, this flies past in what seems like the time it takes Stig Blomqvist to jump his Saab over a bridge! It's great to watch Roger Clark, et al., in Mk 1 Escorts, etc. battling through the snow with no modern electronic gismos, and succeeding due to their own raw talent. i.e. rallying as it used to be. However, I think it tries to be a bit too arty for a rallying dvd: eg., aerial shots accompanied by The Who's 'I can see for miles' are all very well but it comes at the expense of real detail of drivers, cars, night stages, results, etc. In summary, a nugget of real nostalgia but far, far too short.
I purchased this DVD for my husband, a former club level driver, as a gift for Christmas. He was absolutely delighted, recalling all the memorable incidents. I had not seen it before and felt the coverage and interviews were excellent. The delivery was once again on time and arrived in good condition.
Listmania!
