I have the '86 Autocourse and Rallycourse and there is no mention of this act anywhere.
I still can't believe that you guys think that this happened.
There is no way on earth that a rally car no matter who was driving it would be faster than an F1 car around Estoril.
But I will tellyou where the confusion might come from.
The 1985 Portugese GP was very wet and was won by Ayrton Senna. His lap record from that race was 1m44s. Lauda set the FL the previous year at 1m23s and in 1986 the record came down to 1m20s.
Maybe the reporter was saying that Henri was quicker than the wet lap Senna set, which is just about possible I think.
Either way, I will bet my life on the fact that on any race circuit anywhere with any driver, a rally car would NEVER be quicker than a Formula 1 car. Just like an F1 car would never be quicker over a gravel stage.
