The long one is really nice I think. A lot of the images really are very well chosen historically, although it does require a bit of knowledge of rallying.

He's really put a lot of dramatic moments of the sport in it.

A new one to me was Rohrl's comment at the end, taken at the Monte Carlo 1985, where he actually already predicts the Vatanen (who had lost 2 mins because his co-driver checked-in 8 min early) would chatch up with him.
He says it's because Vatanen is faster than he is, not because the Pug is faster than the Audi.
We all know Rohrl was worth a flying Finn at its best, but the nose heavy Audi (derived from a road car) was struggling against the purpose built Peugeot (chassis with engine, transmission and a 205 looka-like plastic body around).
