Here's a blast from the past for ya'll to ponder.... Dallas (Addison) Grand Prix from 1988

PeteH · 01-03-2003, 05:38 PM

I'm sure some of you Audi historians can tell me who's driving which car. I'm pretty sure Hurley Haywood is in one of them, but I could be wrong... it was a long time ago.

Check out car #14 and #44 three cars back.

Here's car #44 in action.

Audi introduces the 'Quattro' drive in 1982!

First "tarmac" win for a car with AWD was 1983, Audi Coupe Quattro, San Remo Rally! ;O)

Jimmy Pribble · 01-03-2003, 06:47 PM

Here is my girlfriend Michelle Mouton at San Remo and "tarmac" could only...uh, loosley be applied here. San Remo has been tamac-only since only 1997. The Audi rally cars actually tended to do very poorly on tarmac.

Good try, though!

fusilier · 01-03-2003, 09:55 PM

Early 80s San Remo was 80% gravel, 20% tarmac. The Audis still won!

I'm digging that 9" wide flared fender Asphalt look more and more.. I like the fender eyebrows on the late model A1s.

The rallying days....

1980

Hannu Mikkola leaves the opposition dumbstruck when Audi officially launches the quattro on the Algarve Rally. Mikkola, running as a course car on the quattro's first public outing, sets a searing pace. Had times counted towards the event, the Audi would have won by 30 minutes!

1981

Franz Wittmann won the Austrian January Rally in the Audi quattro's first competitive outing. Shortly afterwards, Hannu Mikkola clinched Audi's first World Rally Championship win in Sweden. The Finnish driver also won the RAC Rally in Great Britain. Michèle Mouton caused a sensation on the San Remo Rally as an Audi works team driver, becoming the first woman ever to win a World Rally Championship event.

1982

Michèle Mouton won the Portuguese, Acropolis and Brazilian World Rally Championship events only narrowly missing out on the Drivers World Championship title. Victories by her team-mates Hannu Mikkola in Finland and Great Britain and by Stig Blomqvist in Sweden and Italy helped Audi to the Manufacturers World Championship title.

1983

Wins in Sweden, Portugal, Argentina and Finland, meant Hannu Mikkola was crowned World Rally Champion for the first time. Stig Blomqvist rounded off a good season by winning the RAC Rally.

1984

Walter Röhrl started Audi's most successful year in rally competition by winning in Monte Carlo. Team-mate Stig Blomqvist won the Drivers World Championship title with wins in Sweden, Greece, New Zealand, Argentina and - for the first time in an Audi Sport quattro - the Ivory Coast, proving himself a worthy successor to Hannu Mikkola, who triumphed in Portugal. Audi won the Manufacturers Trophy for the second time.

1985

Audi was initially unable to repeat the previous year's results with the Audi Sport quattro S1. Then Walter Röhrl came good, winning the San Remo Rally. And Michèle Mouton celebrated an impressive triumph in the Audi Sport quattro by winning the world-famous hillclimb race up the 4302-metre Pikes Peak in Colorado, USA.

1986

Following a serious accident during the Portugal Rally when Joaquim Santos lost control of his Ford and plunged into the crowd, Audi pulled out of the World Rally Championship. The American Bobby Unser won the Pikes Peak race in the Audi Sport quattro S1.

1987

Audi returned to the World Rally Championship when Group B cars were banished and only Group A cars were permitted. Hannu Mikkola brought Audi its first win in the daunting Safari Rally in Kenya in the Audi 200 quattro. Meanwhile Walter Röhrl stunned his horsepower-laden American rivals by storming up Pikes Peak in record time in the Audi Sport quattro.
