[@kpnut59]

I was there for this race, it was an incredible drive by Will & a much deserved win. RIP Murray, your commentary brings back memories of this great day.

[@minimr2]

U lucky lucky man.

[@vivalastratos]

Me too! Was fantastic race weekend camping

[@paulbartell38]

Hi kpnut59. I was there too! I was 20yrs old at the time and went with a mate. Great day! We used to go all over to see those retired Group B cars.😀

[@dspencer8827]

O M G. .someone that was actually there . Thats cool

[@micksroversmg558]

The best Era in rally cross.. Late 80's early 90's were the golden years those left over group b cars really made some excellent races.. A Era never to be seen again...

[@Randolken]

Micks rovers MG So true.. real deal.

[@1quickmatt]

I was there for that one. Brilliant racing,brilliant track.

[@paddypoolfc3579]

What a trip down memory lane. Loved those cars.

Martin Schanche. The king of Rallycross, Mr. Rallycross himself.

[@tonylockhart1963]

I was there! Grandstand at Paddock Hill Bend. What a day.

[@malcolmmoy]

So was I. It was cold and getting very dark, but what a race, so pleased to find this. Probably the most exciting race I've ever seen. Massive fan of Will Gollop and wanted him to win so when he got a flat we had no idea what would happen.

[@georgejacob3162]

0:20. Martin predicted the future correctly there! Will certainly did find the grip when Martin couldn't and Will powered past!

[@pbocking44]

i was marshalling at top of druids that day. The 1st time we saw the BMW coming up the hill we started to go for the fire extinguishers cos of all the smoke coming from it. but it was just wheelspin, even though 4x4. insanely quick in a straight line.

[@artedivine9968]

The Mark Rennison RS200 is just completing a 3 year restoration and will be ready to race again soon.

[@maxsollie]

@ 5.44 -5.48 Schankes car seems to blow out 'extra' amount of flames. Wonder if anything happend there since he seems to loose power afterwards ?

[@Pstaines439]

Agreed, clearly something wrong with the car.

[@robman80808]

Incredible victory in the 3 wheel drive 6R4 :-)

[@marv6973]

Best series ever.

[@turboslag]

Watching this it seemed familiar, then as soon as I saw Gollop winning with a flat tyre I remembered watching it on TV at the time!

[@divljacina1]

watching these old rallycross videos....and cant get my head around....how much potential that escort mk3-4 had in them....gets me thinking that rs200 was maybe one of the biggest rally mistakes ford could have done

[@richl1194]

Brain out racing, what could possibly be better!!??

[@paulocosta4043]

Both ahahah very hard of corse 👑👑👑👑👑😈

[@MrSpanks]

Wow! Everything... Just WOW!!!

[@frohiky011]

Best ever rx era, imagine gollop & schanke in the best years against my personal fav solberg & young mr hanson & the likes

[@soteple]

Is that Tiff Needell interviewing the drivers?

[@turboslag]

Indeed it was! Tiff also competed in RX!

[@ianvirco5897]

Will Gollop built a 'new' 6R4 for this event and the 1989 European season , his 'old' 6R4 was driven at this event by Tiff Needell using the number 48, this car has recently been restored to the condition it was in at this 1988 RX GP.

Unfortunately yes

[@andreasdahl717]

Did something happen with Schanches car? Its not like him to suddenly loose that amount of lead? Great race!

[@nickmaclachlan5178]

I think grip was a problem for the over powered cars. Schanche's RS200 and the M3 were both putting out at least 200 bhp more than Gollop, but they just couldn't get it to translate in to grip. Gollop was dialled through the corners in power drift mode and the M3 looked like it was RWD at times.

[@sagbrukje]

Martin lost a motor mount in that race, so he almost damaged his car seriously on that last lap 😄 Love the cars from that era, that were fun times!

[@jayrex690]

Crazy good race, but man that rubber banding has given me a headache.

[@wilspu5590]

Huh?

[@off-roadrcaddict4572]

Awesome. Lovin the metro.

[@Stickleback]

Greatness

[@matthewwiddows6319]

They stated the bmw m3 had 700bhp, were the cars allowed unlimited bhp?

[@andrewwright.]

M3 700hp 4wd! My god.

[@questaebenzinah2600]

Were the mods approved by manufacturers?

[@TheBlaert]

Most of the cars were independently developed. Gollops 6R4 had a custom built de-stroked engine (2.3 litre) with 2 turbos for example.

I WAS THERE !!!!!!!!! As i type this in one months time i will have been addicted to Rallycross for thirty years !! I got my latest fix today at Silverstone, The British Rallycross Championship Final and the racing is as good today as it was back then.

Remember watching this on TV at the time, proper rallycross.

[@Draxindustries1]

These cars are now sadly offered by chancers for ridiculous money. Most buyers dont realise that none of these cars are 'original' as seen here. Theyve all been reshelled several times with absolutely no original components left. All theyre buying is some paperwork. A fool and his money..

[@bigjohnfury5662]

Jealous as fuck...you'd do it if you had a rally crossed swb Evo quattro or RS200 Evo that needed work to make it look original and worth £350,000

[@TheBlaert]

@@bigjohnfury5662 Indeed. With swb quattros now making 500k it'd be worth doing. These rallycross cars are a bit of history though

[@bigjohnfury5662]

@@TheBlaert oh I know , my mates work colleague is on record owning a very famous GPB 6r4 . It was a Rothmans car for starters and when sold it got bought by a well known rallycross driver who won the British Rallycross Championship in the same car , well worth buying for the rallycross history but knowing it's a Rothmans car makes it up three with the most valuable when restored . But there's always a jealous fucker who wants one but can't afford it so hits the KZbin comments bitter as fuck hahahaha 😂

[@TheBlaert]

@@bigjohnfury5662 Great stuff. I used to live beside a motorsport circuit in N.Ireland when I was younger and watched a couple of the rallycross men when they were testing and setting up the 6R4's. Shame I didn't have a video camera back then

What happenned to Schanche ?

[@xr500t]

I bet he lost boost.... didn't notice a flat, just a slowdown like loss of power.

[@TheSpecky5eyes]

He's just shite

[@my1nzfe]

@@TheSpecky5eyes lol. You need to remember this drivers designed and build their own cars during the week end went racing in the weekends. They also have to invent and make all new upgrades. There was nobody to ask or computers to do the math, and Schanche is still a man today's racers and mechanics go to for tips and tricks to improve their machines. You do not get the name Mr. Rallycross if you're not one of the best in the game.

An intercooler hose came loose/broke and his RS200 lost a lot of boost.
