"Go Like Hell: The battle for the 1986 World Drivers Championship" will focus on the last 3 races of the 1986 season, and the end of the Group B era.

We plan to interview both drivers and co-drivers, as well as both team managers, combined with historic rally footage, as well as never before seen photographs. 

The documentary's center of attention will be on the fierce competition between Juha Kankkunen and Markku Alen, to determine the World Drivers Championship and how that championship was overturned 10 days later in France. 

The film will also provide a first-hand look at the complexities of driving the
last of the rally giants, and the stress
and pressure of driving the
razor's edge.  

 We will also reveal the stories behind the scenes from the co-drivers perspective.

You can help make this project a reality, by contributing to it's production. For a $50 donation on Indiegogo, you'll receive a limited edition, signed/numbered poster from the Olympus Rally, signed by all the principles involved in the documentary!

This documentary will capture a moment in motorsport history, that if missed will eventually disappear forever. We must not let this opportunity pass us by.

We have confirmed the participation of Juha Kankkunen and Markku Alen, as well as co-drivers, Juha Piironen and Ilkka Kivimaki. Also confirmed is Lancia Team Boss, Cesare Fiorio, and we're waiting to confirm Peugeot Talbot Sport Director, and former FIA President Jean Todt.  

We are planning to shoot interviews in summer/early fall, 2023
