FIA - World Rally Championship Season - 1988

************************************************************************



==== INTRODUCTION ====

This is a DVDRiP of the Duke DVD 1988 World Rally Championship season review.



==== DESCRIPTION ====

The 1988 World Rally Championship season was the 16th season of the Fédération

Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) World Rally Championship (WRC). The

season consisted of 13 rallies, following the same schedule as the previous

season.



Martini Lancia followed their successful previous season with an even more

dominant performance in 1988, winning ten of the eleven rallies in which

manufacturer points were awarded. The Lancia Delta HF 4WD proved fast and

reliable in the hands of returning drivers Finn Markku Alén and Italian Miki

Biasion. During the season, the car was replaced by the Delta Integrale, which

was an immediate success. Biaison would take the drivers' title, with his

Finnish teammate placing second behind him. Third driver Frenchman Bruno Saby

also contributed to the effort with a rally win, though was not a major

contender for the title. Jolly Club driver, Italian Alex Fiorio, would take

third place in the driver championship at the wheel of a Lancia Delta as well.



Ford Motor Company struggled to compete, though it was the only other

manufacturer besides Lancia to win a rally, with primary driver Didier Auriol

winning the Tour de Corse in his Sierra RS Cosworth. Auriol would only reach

6th in the drivers' competition, while Spanish teammate Carlos Sainz would

struggle to reach 11th in the standings. Stig Blomqvist, racing for Rallysport

Sweden in a Sierra, would finish best amongst Ford drivers, taking 4th in the

championship standings.



1988 marked the withdrawal of Audi Sport from the WRC, although a number of

small teams and privateers were successful enough using Audi Quattro versions

for the manufacturer to place 3rd amongst manufacturers despite the lack of a

works effort. Mazda Rally Team Europe made a significant effort to compete

with Finn Timo Salonen as their primary driver for the Mazda 323 4WD. Timo

would garner 5th place in the driver standings while the manufacturer gained

4th place.



In addition to the primary driver and manufacturer championships, WRC also

awarded the FIA Cup for Drivers of Production Cars for a second season. Belgian

Pascal Gaban won the hotly contested condest in a Mazda 323 against Argentine

Jorge Recalde in his Lancia Delta while Italian Giovanni Del Zoppo, another

Delta pilot, finished well behind in third place.
