Slow motion sequences form part of this slick review of the 1984 1000 Lakes Rally, produced by renowned documentary filmmaker Barrie Hinchcliffe.
Local Heroes frames the 'supercars' of rallying against the beautiful lakes and forest of Finland. For rally drivers Hannu Mikkola, Stig Blomqvist and Henri Toivonen there is little time to admire the scenery as they work to tame the awesome power of their works machinery.
Watch out for the equally spectacular efforts of the up-and -coming local heroes who can jump just as high and far as the world championship leaders, despite power outputs well down on the works Audis, Peugeots and Lancias.
This is the event where Peugeot's new 'supermini', the 205 Turbo, promised to realise its great potential in the very capable hands of Ari Vatanen, whilst Stig Blomqvist in the short wheelbase Audi Quattro was hoping to clinch the World Championship.
Regardless of the final results, this is first-class entertainment for the enthusiast and casual observer alike.
