Wales Rally GB 1980

The Wales Rally GB 1980, officially 36th Lombard RAC Rally, was the 36th edition of the Wales Rally GB and the eleventh round of the World Rally Championship in 1980 . It was the 86th rally in the World Rally Championship which is organized by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The start and finish was in Bath .

With both titles in hands, and given the financial malaise which the wrong brand, decided Fiat for the first time in years not to be at the start in the British event. Yet this could again count on a large list of favorites. Opel -rijder Anders Kulläng had a long lead in the hands, but ran on time loss when he drove one of the tests multiple times leak. It was surprising Henri Toivonen who first managed to distinguish and the lead shortly thereafter got hold. He kept reigning winner Hannu Mikkola eventually retires to write its first WRC event in his name, and at the age of 24, and added to 86 days, he was thus the youngest winner of a WRC event ever (a record that would stand for 27 years). This also proved to Talbot their first World Cup success, and thus also ended the series of eight RAC victories for Ford, now with less flawless Mikkola had to be content with second place. Toivonens teammate Guy Fréquelin entered the last step of the podium.
