what a great drivers Schanche and Alamaki were

[@barryotoole6990]

Great clip, Schanche is a character and this was Real Rallycross to many driver aids now etc. He was a balls out driver...

[@nikonfx8763]

1750 zackspeed in that MK2 , the same engine they used in the zackspeed capris, not as much power though as the capris on the tarmac were pushing 600BHP + but 420 in the little escort must have been fun without the fancy driving aid tech they use these days. but goes to show the cosworth lump was and still is one of the best engines ever.

[@maybenot6075]

It depends on the circuit, they de tuned it for this race but on the less technical majority tarmac surfaces it was full tilt 650bhp+ my old college tutor was part of the scene back in the day until he went into tutoring in mid 2000s as he stated the series went to the dogs from late 90s

[@guidorollard2944]

And those cars were very expensive at that, i think the Ford BDA engine in schanches car only, would have been over 30 grand back then.

Each piruett cost him 1000 pound

Am I wrong or is there no joker? I like it better without a joker to be honest.

[@rallycrossvhsdvd]

All races had no joker up till about 2009 ish not sure exactly but joker has ruined many circuits especially Lydden,Chessons drift is now a Mickey Mouse. corner 😒

[@pripph1355]

Porsches, Zakspeed Escorts and Quattros, ust listen to the sound - how stupid and meaningless modern electric rallycross is...

[@ingvarkarlsson7378]

The first British commentator I have heard pronounce Schanche's name as the Norwegians do.

[@Dany45UR]

Gracias por el video 👍. Absolutamente fantástico ese Escort numero 2 y Schanche el mejor de todas las épocas , porque los autos no tenían ayudas en esa época

[@Stickleback]
