About Road Trip Footage
Road trip content captures cars doing what they were built to do — covering ground, connecting places, and providing the freedom of the open road. From cross-continental adventures in classic cars to spirited drives through mountain passes, these clips combine automotive content with travel, scenery, and storytelling. The best road trip footage reveals a car's long-distance character — the comfort, the reliability quirks, the way it sounds at a cruise, and the moments where the journey and the machine combine to create something memorable.
The 1980s in Music
The 1980s was the decade of excess, turbocharging, and the most terrifying rally cars ever built. Group B rallying produced monsters like the Audi Quattro S1, Peugeot 205 T16, and Lancia Delta S4 — cars so fast they were eventually banned after a series of fatal accidents. On the road, the supercar as we know it was born: the Ferrari F40, Porsche 959, and Lamborghini Countach became poster-car icons for an entire generation. Japanese manufacturers were engineering precision machines like the Toyota AE86 and Nissan Skyline that would become the foundation of an entire tuning culture. Video footage from the 80s is plentiful and often spectacular, capturing an era when automotive ambition had almost no limits.
