Wow. You know a driver's good when he can compete in a top-level rallycross race AND do a live interview in the middle of it--and with no clutch LOL! These guys were legends. Massive respect!

The Martin Schanche developed Xtrac Gartrac Zackspeed Escort was one of the most significant Motorsport cars of the 80s - there was no suprise it could still keep up with and beat Rs200s and other contemporaries a good few years after it debuted. In many ways it was technically far superior to the Rs200.

@georgejacob31624 жыл бұрын
Yes. They were very popular rallycross cars back in the 80's. Rob Gibson and the Flying Finn's Matti Alamaki, Seppo Nittymaki and Pekka Kanerva all had flat nose Porsches.

so why is there a 660hp audi quattro in the same race as a vw beetle lol
@sonicstep8 жыл бұрын
They did things differently back then. It was more akin to David and Goliath! Unpredictable and most importantly entertaining. Proper racing! If you look up 1971 Crystal Palace Osram trophy, that's also a very good watch.

I know there was some talk about Mikael Nordströms beetle pushing 800hp at it worst. So I would guess there were 4x4 beetles with 5-600 hp :)

Probably some interruption between the vcr and the capture box when it was recorded. It probably got confused and thought it was Macrovision. I have a better vcr now and time base corrector to avoid these issues.

I love all these cars (except the tr8...they were shit).I've either driven,owned,raced against or have a decent story about everyone of these cars almost! (even the RS200...Pat Doran is a neighbour!) Modern racing might be quick but the cars are ugly as sin, they all look the same, back then a single hundredth of a second was all you needed to id a car!
