I don't know any sport driver who wouldn't want to try true legend from the rally stages - Renault 5 Turbo, the car that weights only 900km and has 300bhp.
I would call it rocket pocket. And it wasn't that easy to control that small weapon on the rally stages because it slides all over the place.
Jean Ragnotti mastered it and also twice WRC champion Carlos Sainz sr drove it in part of his career.
Another WRC champion had some experience with that car before going to the bigger team. It was Didier Auriol who started his driving career as an ambulance driver.
Car itself is hard to find these days and only collectors have some examples in a good shape.
Watch this video and enjoy.
