No finer example of man and machine in perfect harmony, Ari Vatanen and Ford Escort, made for each other. Great video!

I still remember watching his epic performance against the factory Fiat team in the late 70's here in NZ. He was reeling in the lead Fiat (that was begining to self destruct), whilst already having rolled bowled and arse - oled his Fabulous Ford Escort !!

The old man’s still got it. What an honor to ride with him, though you weren’t much help, letting him do all the driving and navigating. Haha

Amazing. Look at his hand position on the wheel - identical to the "dear god" video. He's not lost it at all. I don't think rally drivers ever lose it. My dad is 70 and still a quicker driver than me. Damn it.

Counting down and Starting the great Ari was one of my many high lights of my motor sport memory, from both sides of the sport. Look Roger we’re famous. It’s the people that you meet that make completing in and running events worth the hours either the car of paperwork worth while.

Wow. He was what, 58 when this was filmed? It says a lot about Ari, the way he's driving in this video. I've watched some other footage of people riding with old rally stars, and they usually drive pretty conservatively compared to what you'd see when they used to race. Maybe because they're older, but maybe they just don't want to take as much risk when there's a civilian in the car and they're not competing for a title. I don't know, but Ari doesn't seem to hold back at all. Didn't he say something once about driving every corner as if it were his last? Looks like he's still living by those words. :)
