However, for Audi, even though the A2 netted them more consistent results, it was decided to exclusively field the Sport quattro S1 from 1985 and on. That year, Audi would also get the manufacturer championship back from Lancia. With this title, Blomqvist became the second Swedish world rally champion after Björn Waldegård. Blomqvist’s victory in the 1984 Rallye Côte d’Ivoire would ultimately remain his career’s last victory in the WRC.

Blomqvist would win the 1984 driver championship with Mikkola finishing second, easily ahead of their competitors. In fact, Blomqvist would shun the S1 while he and Hannu Mikkola raked up points with the “long wheelbase” quattro A2.

In the 1984 season, even though the new Sport quattro S1 was much more powerful and technically advanced than the previous car, it was generally not well received by the Audi drivers Michèle Mouton and Stig Blomqvist in particular had trouble adapting to the new shorter quattro’s features which demanded a driving style not quite compatible with their own.

Stig did however capture the British Rally Championship title by winning four out of the six events, again in Audi’s quattro. Driving the quattro A1/A2, he scored seven podiums including a win in the season-ending RAC Rally, ultimately finishing fourth in the WRC’s drivers championship. With these good results, Audi then signed Blomqvist as their official third seeded driver for 1983. He won the Swedish Rally, finished second in the 1000 Lakes and then took his first WRC victory outside of his home country by winning the Rallye Sanremo. Stig’s year was completed behind the wheel of a Group 4 Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, finishing eighth in the 1000 Lakes and third at the RAC events.įor the 1982 season, Audi Sport, Audi’s factory team, signed Stig Blomqvist to drive the four wheel drive quattro A1 in a few events alongside Hannu Mikkola and Michèle Mouton. His long-time association with Saab ended when the Saab Sport department ended operations in 1981. Outside the WRC, he won the 1973 Cyprus Rally, the 1976 Boucles de Spa and the Swedish Rally Championship several times. (C) / Stig Blomqvist – 1980 Boucles de Spaīlomqvist went on to win the Swedish Rally again in 1972 (Saab 96 V4), 1973 (Saab 96 V4), which marked his first WRC event and win, 1977 (Saab 99 EMS) and 1979 (Saab 99 Turbo). These good performances helped Saab gain second place behind Alpine-Renault in the International Championship for Manufacturers, the predecessor to the World Rally Championship. After his education as a driving instructor, along with later teammate Per Eklund, he proceeded to drive with the Saab team, and achieved his first international victories in 1971 first winning the Swedish Rally, then the 1000 Lakes Rally in Finland and the RAC Rally in Great Britain. Not long after he took second place in a local rally event near the Swedish town of Karlstad while behind the wheel of a Saab 96. In 1964, Stig Blomqvist acquired his driving licence at the age of 18.
