I dont think there was any fans or spectators on the scene but the tire marks did indicate that there may have been a failure on the car. Unfortunately it burned up too badly to ever find out. Not to mind that Lancia liked to cut corners regardless of safety. I.E. fuel tank under the driver and co pilot.

Henri's father, also a rally champion, told Henri to focus on rallying because of several fatal accidents in F1 and other track sports. Maybe if Toivonen went another way and chose to compete in formula cars we'd have a Finn champ between Rosberg and Häkkinen. It woud've been amazing, Toivonen, Senna and Prost at late -80's.

One of the best rally drivers ever...a LEGEND!

Rest in peace Henri and Sergio... True legends will never be forgotten.

Only a true fan of motorsports is able to put that much of a feel in a video... Thanks a lot Antti, and keep up the awesome work!

the way he made that sunbeam dance was incredable

A friend posted this on Facebook today, May 2nd 2011, the 25th anniversary of Henri's untimely death. I've not seen the video before. What a superb compilation of clips, masterfully edited and set to great music. I particularly liked the shot of Henri spraying the champagne timed with the guitar solo in Queen's 'The Show Must Go On'. Well done on creating this wonderful tribute, and many thanks indeed for sharing it with us. RIP Henri and Sergio.

@Marvdogger From an Italian seemingly low-budget Group B documentary "C'era una volta il Gruppo B". Also took the clip of Toivonen leaving for the last stage from that documentary. Viewing the stage start area on Google Street View, it's most likely the same camera man who filmed the smoke rising behind the mountains who filmed the start a few minutes earlier.

13 years later and it's still the most beautiful tribute to our great rally hero.....

Greatest champ. Still impressed more than 30 years later. Lovely video. Big thanks!

Dear friend Antti, it´s an honour and a pleasure for me to see your greats videos. That one is really amazing and wonderful, like ALL your videos. I can see them once, and other, and other, and other... Your style is very very elegant, with exclusives videos (that I´ve never seen) and great music. In my view you and Amjayes are the best rally video editors of all the world. Thanks for your work. Thanks from Spain. Henkka RIP.

every time i wait for the start of the stage and feel worried i think about toivonen and how crazy he was i love this guy

Sempre nei nostri cuori ci avete regalato emozioni fortissime, grazie.

Rest in peace champ ! We miss you for 28 years and we"ll never forget !

i agree . henri and sergio was a artists in a wrong playing platform. these times a rally is too long for a normally person , because special stage is approx 60 km, and one day special stages is 12 *60 = 720 km .

That Lancia 037 ... so much grace ! so much sideway !

I was wondering how Toivonen would have done today in the modern 4wd cars. I suspect some serious ass kicking.

Hyvaa Antti!!! Toivonen was legend Kiitos!!!

Se me saltan las lágrimas cada vez que q veo un vídeo d este pedazo piloto y su desafortunado final... Lo duro q debió d ser para todos, ufff. Sabía poco d él y fui viendo más vídeos pero éste es mi favorito desd hoy, excelentes temas d Queen y Gun's y excelente repaso a la trayectoria frustrada demasiado pronto d un campeón del mundo en potencia. 33 años ya desde q se fue para hacer quizá, d ángel d la guarda d otros pilotos y sus libradas increíbles..., DEP para él y x supuesto su desafortunado copi q tampoco pudo librarse. Quién sabe, en otro universo paralelo se libraron y joder, me gustaría verlo en acción, si yo no la palmo en ese otro universo, claro... 😅 DEP HENRI, RICHARD, COLIN y si me dejo a alguien más, perdón 🙏 No os olvidaremos jamás, en nuestros corazones vivís

@antti2phoenixbird About that getting boring thing - that was my first thought when I came across this video - "what new could I possibly see in another Toivonen tribute video". But when I actually watched this I was really surprised as there was nothing boring about it at all. There is something like a storyline, there's some new footage for me, the music is chosen perfectly to give the right feeling to the video. Max respect, Antti, this is awesome!

Antti, I always feel goosebumps when watch your motorsport videos. It is that kind of feeling that makes me feel manly and cry at the same time.

Buen y emotivo video. Henri uno de los mejores. Descansen en paz Henri y Sergio

RIP 😔🙏 you were a master class.

Super reportage sur Henri...il.maestro e morto quando.avevo.16 anni...ancora oggi si trova nella.mia memoria...😢

most tribute videos in my opinion has the soul of the person from who is it made from. this definitely has the soul of Henri Toivonen

If only Lancia cared about Toivonen's cry in the Tour de Course, I believe we'd have soon much more of him. Rest in Peace, Toivo

As imagens de Toivonen com os Lancia 037 e Delta são muito top. Um verdadeiro mito!👏👏👏👏

Teabag McPick I think it's more because Porsche lacked any real drivers who could handle a Porsche off-road. Having the engine at the back also places the center of gravity at the back, which makes it extremely prone to snap oversteer, as well as lift off oversteer, and at the same time the lack of weight at the front produces understeer. While this two may seem like the cancel each other, they also make the card both predictable and unpredictable. Add the constantly changing terrain and you've got a car only a God could drive to its fullest. I agree that Porsche has not found success in rallying, but I think it was the result of both the car's quirks and the incompatibility of the drivers.

I always admired Henri's style of driving when i saw him win in UK lombard rally I thought he was going to write history but never thought it would be for tragedy he reminds me of Lewis Hamilton in a way that he just loves to race and win no matter how much hardship gets in his way RIP Henri

i tuoi video sono fantastici ... grazie !!!

He was leading the rally with a huge several minutes marginal. But then again he had influenza and fever and was clearly fatiged in his final interview about 30 minutes before the accident. Rumours tell he was medicated with pseudoefedrin at that morning. Maybe he was in fairly good condition but gas-pedal stucked. His team-mate died a year earlier also in Corsica. It was considered to be a problem with gas pedal. Lancia had problems with stucking gas pedal at test drives during winter too but no one died luckily.

speechless about that one too.....i have saved one of your best videos you did long time ago about Henri.....my idol in rallying
