The Lancia team were such pirates. I love how they did every thing they could think of to stack theirs in their favor- using ice melt on the course, changing tires mid race, etc. This was when motor racing was exciting and brash.

I couldn't agree more, since NASCAR used to be the same way. The 60s and 70s were the big experimentation years, everyone seeing what they could get away with. It probably all came to a head with the Plymouth Superbird of 1970, going 200mph in the days when its competition struggled for 160mph. But following the oil crisis and a string of deaths, cars got slower, restrictions got tighter, and now, thanks to foreign meddling, the loudest motorsport short of drag racing is little more than a spec race.

Pure car history, love it.

It's small featuretts like this that truly show the skill and passion of Clarkson, Hammond and May.......AND the countless talents working behind the scenes.

As a long time follower of Top Gear and then The Grande Tour. If anyone hasn’t watched this segment. Hand on heart, it’s one of the top two segments in the history of the trio. I strongly recommend you watch this irrespective. True story telling genius.

That was THE best part of all TGT now, absolutely stunning, had goosebumps watching this. We need definitely more of such content!!!

Love this piece and James's Ford-Ferrari piece. Especially enjoy the winking "reenactments" - they embellish the documentary footage with something a little more visceral, allow Jeremy to add the trademark TG humor, and avoid the inherent cheesiness of documentary reenactments. Great, great stuff.

One of the best TGT or TG skits ever. Interestingly one bit of info wasn't mentioned. The tyre size rule was quizzed by Lancia if they could fit wider rear tyres and thinner front tyres keeping the same total contact area, being of course more suitable for the RWD cars, but this logical proposal was declined. They may have been competitive for another year had the FIA allowed it.

Love it! This is making me need to see all of the Grand Tour!
