1980's rallying video tribute with toy cars including Astra

Here's a funny little video I made as a young teenager. A tribute to 1980's rallying and includes a couple of Astra Mk2's but I think it's fair to say the Audi quattro is the star of the show.

i missed the astras? saw a quatro, a pug 205 t16, a sierra cossy, escort cossy? the only group b astra was a mk1 400 which never made it really as the class was ditched before it was properly developed frown

but brings back memories of playing with my toy cars lol

Hi Warphi at 0.28 it's the model of the Xtrac Rallycross Astra which as I understand it was what they did with the Group S Astra that was being developed to replace Group B when they were both cancelled. At 3.14 I was pushing the AC Delco Astra that I saw Andrew Wood drive in the 1986 Circuit of Ireland. This is how I remember the Group B rallies with Group A cars's mixed in and I think you may notice I gave the Group A cars a bit of a hard time ie rolling the Escort Cosworth and having the Astra cutting out. It was a fantasy so don't read too far into it laughing
