Επεσα πανω σε αυτο το ωραιο αρθρο εποχης για το τραγικο 1986.
Περα απο τα γνωστα, μου εκαναν εντυπωση τα παρακατω δυο αποσπασματα.
Timo Salonen put his Peugeot rather heavily off the road on stage eight, and he and Harjanne, bruised and shaken, were still endeavouring to clamber out of the car when Alen and Kivirnaki came along in their Lancia. They immediately stopped, helped their fellow-Finns out of the damaged Peugeot, and it was not until they were sure that they were all right that the two Lancia men continued, having lost nearly two minutes in the rescue process, time which Alen found very difficult indeed to make up, especially as he was also troubled by a faulty compressor and fading brakes.
However, that is no more than supposition, and all we really know is that the car left the road on a left bend, crashed into trees some four yards below road level, burst into flames a minute or so later and was vary quickly gutted, the crew still inside.
Saby. it seems, passed the spot before the fire started, didn't see the stricken Lancia and carried on, but around the next corner or two he saw the smoke and flames and promptly returned to the spot but was quite unable to do anything.
Επειδη το αρθρο ηταν του Ιουνιου του 1986, ισως δεν ειχαν δει, το γνωστο πλεον μακρινο βιντεο που δειχνει εστω θολα, την S4 να βγαινει απο το δρομο και να εκρηγνυται αμεσα.
Οποτε πως γινεται ο Σαμπι να μη σταματησε αμεσως και να γυρισε αφου ειχε προχωρησει δυο-τρεις στροφες;
