Audi S2 in British Rally Championship, 1993

I stumbled upon this clip of the Manx International and what should appear? An Audi S2 in shell colours, piloted by Jonny Milner....

There's not much footage of the S2 mind, but nice to watch some BRC action

Great to see Bertie Fisher interviewed too at the rate the others were crashing the s2 might even have had a chance. Nice footage

There's loads more on that same guy's channel (shandy65) - all the ones from '93.

In fact there's a bit of info in the video for the 'Vauxhall Rally Wales' about the car: Shell motorsport were apparently developing the car with Audi (Audi UK maybe?) after a few years supporting ford.

In all the videos the car has the standard road wheels which is odd, even when they're on gravel... The clip I posted to start with mentions that it was 'Class N4' - never heard of it but maybe explains why it didn't have any competition spec wheels and also why a 2.2ltr car was able rally against the Group N 2ltr cars

I remember that machine - Jimmy McRae tried to run it in Donegal circa '93 - but it had some engine mgmt woes... Or maybe his was the Group A version - its too long ago. Class N1 would be up to 1300cc, N2 up to 1600, N3 up to 2000 and N4 for anything bigger than 2000cc... From memory they had something like 1.7 capacity multiplier in those days for a turbo.

Only just found this, thanks for posting. Great to see the old group A cars like the Legacy and the Pilot Sport Escort again. Remember watching this for the first time when I was growing up.

Ah Jonny Milner !

I go to the Toyota Sprint Series with a mate and Jonnys running a serious Celica in A1 Class



He's a top bloke, the car was also run at Goodwood and was a top 5 runner I believe.
