My God, four wheel drifts right next to a sheer cliff! Scary to even watch.
:thumbup
love the way it starts with a little music and then it's just the engine ... like my favorite scene in Bullitt. :laughing
pretty sure the Peugeot 405 T16 is the vehicle losing a drag race with the DAF Turbo Twin X1 in the Dakar in 1988 at 200km/hr.:

Mr Vatanen was also behind the wheel of the 405 T16 with the DAF in the vid above at Dakar in 1988, guess he had quite a year ...
his 405 T16 was stolen in Bamako while he was in the lead, and would only be returned if a ransom of 25 million francs CFA was paid. The car eventually found, but it was too late for the win ...
his team mate Juha Kankkunen went on to win in 1988, joining with Mr Vatanen's Dakar 405 T16 win in 1997. Mr Vatanen also won Dakar with the 405 T16, in '89 (by a coin toss!) and '90 and with Citroen ZX Rallye-Raid in '91.
those were the days. :angel
