1987 Tour de Corse —a Bernard Béguin, BMW E30 M3 (Prodrive), winner of this WRC event

amazing driving

Recognise those amazing skills, i think modern wrc and touring car racing should have to use manual gearboxs, i think adds that extra level of excitment and awe not some newboy with a buttons and paddles for everything wheres the skill in pressing a button?

Im sure there is a RWD Rally challenge, took over from the Peugeot challenge which I belive they use 325i standard cars apart from suspension and safety bits, a whole bundle of them should make good viewing,.....

They run alongside each other and it's an excellent challenge championship.

Loads of BMWs still rallying, including some luuuuverly E30s.

We run an E36 M3 Evo compact, not quite in the Patrick Snijers league unfortunately , but plenty of fun catching the rice burners in the wet.
