Rally Sweden 1988

Overview

The mild weather experienced on the Monte continued in Sweden, but it didn't unduly rob the event of excitement. Indeed, in some places the speeds on snow neared those on dry tarmac! Flat out through the slush and snow banks, the world's top drivers showed just what can be done when road conditions comprise a mixture of all terrain. The cameras are in all the right places to capture the action and there are interviews with the drivers, shots of the service crews at work and viewpoints from all angles throughout the event. There was the added attraction of seeing if Markku Alen could take a further step towards his ambition of overtaking fellow Finn Hannu Mikkola as winner of most World Championship rallies.
