Motortrend | Racing Monsters with Dario Franchitti
The first in a great series for the Motortrend channel, showcasing some absoloute racing monsters and interviews the legends who raced them - such as Steve Soper pictured above!
The 1980s are remembered for some of the wildest years in motorsport. It was a golden era in which turbo technology took Formula 1 to never before seen (nor ever since seen) heights of horsepower, and that four-wheel-drive Group B rallying arrived, proved too fast and too dangerous, and was just as quickly outlawed. Then there were the Group A tourers – raw, powerful, race cars bred from road cars and driven to their limits in arguably the most exciting tin-top racing series of the decade.
In this episode, racing legend Dario Franchitti, races the infamous Sierra Cosworth RS500.
