I haven't heard much cheats in motorsport but the Toyota "turbo gate" was a wild one, especially when you see the cross profile of the turbo and see how a small opening can create so much performance. Great video mate.

3:30 the boost tank wasn't technically illegal as the air had already passed through the restrctor plate so didn't need to go through it again.

Yep, I think it was a clever engineering idea! But it didn’t really seem to make a huge difference anyways

There is also the story where Lancia with their 037 in the Monte Carlo rally, knew they would lose to the Audi Quattro on the snow and ice, so they petitioned the Monte Carlo council to salt the roads prior to the rally on safety grounds. Knowing this they put slicks on their car while the other teams including Audi ran snow tyres, and gained a massive advantage over the other teams. Motorsport Story had it in his video. It's incredible the lengths teams will go to! It's a shame how modern WRC has fallen.

Mini were disqualified from the 1966 monte Carlo Rallye handing the win to French Citroens. According to Paddy Hopkirk the French officials did everything to find fault with the Mini including removing and weighing the individual wheels of the British cars. Eventually, Mini lost first, second and third place due to running with dipped headlights. It has been highly speculated that the officials were deliberately favouring Citroen with their famous DS. There is a news reel with more on this called we was robbed.

And the 5 gallon fuel line wasn't hidden, it was right where it was supposed to be. It was 3 inches in diameter. The rules said nothing about size.

Let's just tell people that aren't aware that the segment about Smokey Yunick was cut shoooooort! He had lots of tricks up his sleeve! However, not to be a grumpy-pant, but does he really belong in this line-up? He, didn't cheat, he just did what what the rulebook didn't forbid. Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden
