Safari Rally 1986

About This Movie

So, the 1986 Safari Rally documentary is quite an experience. It really captures the sheer intensity of the event, which has always been one of the toughest in the World Rally Championship. The atmosphere is electric, with the rugged Kenyan landscape serving as a daunting backdrop for the 76 cars that set off from Nairobi. You get to see the likes of Juha Kankkunen and Bjorn Waldegaard tackle the unpredictable terrain, which is both thrilling and nerve-wracking. The film's pacing gives a real sense of the ups and downs of rallying – literally and figuratively. What strikes me is the gritty authenticity; there’s no gloss here, just raw determination and the wild spirit of competition. Plus, the practical effects are a treat, capturing real moments from the rally without any frills.
