Overview

In the golden era of gravel, Britain became rallying's crucible-and Peugeot Talbot Sport UK stood at its fiery heart. Rallying the Isles is the definitive, fully factual history of one of the most iconic teams to emerge from the British motorsport scene. From the muddy firebreaks of Wales to the tarmac of Corsica, from the underdog Sunbeam Lotus to the flame-spitting 205 T16, this book chronicles the story of how a cross-Channel alliance rewrote rally history. It captures the drama, the dirt, the danger-and the sheer brilliance of the men and women who made it happen. Drawing on documented events and official records, this meticulously researched narrative reveals how British talent, terrain and tenacity powered Peugeot to a world title-and how the team's legacy still echoes in the forests today. Whether it's Ari Vatanen's flying Finn magic, the tactical genius of David Richards, or the quiet brilliance of engineers in Coventry, Rallying the Isles gives every voice its due in a story of mechanical monsters and human determination. This is not just a history of a team-it's a love letter to an era.
