Final year under Audi Sport publishing, format unchanged from previous year. Article titled "Did you know" is a continuation of interesting WRC facts and figures from Rallying 7. Other articles include a technical piece about aerodynamics of the rally cars and profile of young Juha Kankkunen.
Again, advertisements can be found at the very first and very last pages of the book, allowing reader to concentrate on articles better than in Rallycourse.
Text and majority of the photos are by Martin Holmes, most of the photos being black and white.

Did you know
A continuation of the article from previous edition, this time Holmes presents more amazing facts from past years but also speculative things like counting drivers' championship points for 1973-1978, thus ending with title of "Greatest of them all".
Moving on
One page article about David Sutton Motorsports' move to new headquarters.
Jumping Photos
Building on photo-centric articles of previous editions, this time Holmes presents seven photos of airborne rally cars.
Rally Cars Grow Wings
One of the features that Group B rally cars introduced to the sport in large scale were various aerodynamics devices like wings, spoilers and skirts. Article revolves almost solely around Metro 64R and it's development work, even though it was only one of the winged rally cars of it's time. As a result, article delves quite deep into Austin Rover's project.
Young Pretender
An interview with Juha Kankkunen, latest of finnish rally drivers. At this point it is not yet known how big start Juha would eventually become.
