Default The 10th Group B Valpantena Rally.

Weekend just gone in Italy. Some Tribute cars, some not, regardless, they're out there doing it entertaining the fans. Excellent event. Wonder if Gary was looking down?

The Audi S1 E2 in the footage was owned by Gary Midwinter, one of our Classic Audi members who passed away recently. There are a few YouTube clips of him exploring the envelope in his car that are worth a look.

Yep, recognise that wastegate anywhere... I'd love to know how he gets a 20v to sound like a 10v though...
