the mk1 was not even on slicks by the look of it,
and set up for gravel,
the audi should have been a group B car and when it would have destoyed the evo

I think it was one of the earlier/first Quattros, they should have got the 86 version.

Did anyone think the Focus RS looked really at home on that track (for a road car) 
The way the FRS looked through the corners and the speed it carried without looking ragged impressed me. That made me want to sell the ST170 and buy a FocusRS.
That mk1 look proper fun in the stigs hands

This is the Audi they should have used the S1 Evo
Gotta say though the mk1 looked the nuts - even cocked it's left right front wheel a couple of times

What's the point in pointing a Evo up against a group B car? Remember, the group B rally cars could keep up with the f1 cars of the day!
I think it was a fair comparison, but you have to wonder how well setup the cars were

i was very suprised that the evo beat the audi,but then after thinking about it, as it've been mentioned it wasnt the proper group b car.
The mk1 was seriously cool and needed to be tarmac spec and not gravel.
I was shocked when they said how light the GT40 was
Quality veiwing last night, most amuzing!

Proves my point tho. A group B from 1986 would destroy an up to date roadgoing Evo, no two ways about it.

Was that Mk1 Escort set up for a gravel stage? It seemed to sit to high and roll to much. Lower and stiffened up I reckon it wouldve battered that focus
Also, Perry McCathy was a usless crock of shite in his F1 days

Ive got my name down to be in the audiance of the new TopGear series in 2005!
