MG Metro 6R4 on the Goodwood Rally Stage made me SCREAM !

I get to meet a childhood hero...the legendary Group B monster that is the MG Metro 6R4. A 400 horsepower, mid-engined AWD Mini Metro that was born from the 1980's Group B Rally era. With an 11,000 RPM red line experiencing this car around the Goodwood Festival of Speed Rally Stage is something I will remember for a very long time !
A huge thanks to the owner Martin for enabling me to share to wonderful and historic car with you guys !

I remember the sound of these blasting through the welsh forests in the 80’s, you could hear them coming for miles !

[@PetrolPed]

Amazing !

[@lydiagould3090]

A great nostalgic moment ! I remember those days, watching the RAC rally ,the best times. Sad day , the demise of the group B rally cars. Kudos to Martin for preserving this car, and for staying cool with you screaming down his ear, and waving your arms about insanely!!!!

[@PetrolPed]

I did scream a bit 😜

[@rallymanize]

The car club I was in during 85/86 was asked if we could Marshall some local stages in Wales as Tony Pond and Rob Arther were testing the MG 6r4. You could hear the car coming well before you saw it. It was an incredible time. When Tony arrived at our control, we had a quick chat with both crew. Tony was full up with the flu, but when asked about how it was affecting his driving, he said as soon as the clutch dropped, the adrenalin kicked in and just drove as he usually did!! Flat out. Great guys to meet 👍😎

[@PetrolPed]

Wow...what a great story 👍

[@andywakeman3395]

Similar story, during the 1985 Lombard RAC Rally. Not long a member of my motor club (8 months) and we were asked to marshal Stang forest (stage before Hamsterly). As I was carrying on into the rally with some lads, I got to marshal arrivals. Every grp B coming in was amazing to stand beside (like the waste gate ports on the Lancia Delts S4 or the marshal warmers as we nick named them) but the Metro even more so.Tony, Rob and Malcolm (can't remember Malcolm's nav) were fairly chatty whilst getting ready, unlike the rest of the foreign drivers. The feeling stood next to the ticking over Metro was felt through the body. One day I'll get a ride in one

Totally agree. All the group B cars were fantastic, but the 6R4 holds a special place in my memory. The noise of that V6 wailing through a cold Welsh forest is unforgettable.

Back in the 80s I worked for a well known Ferrari dealer in Surrey I used to pick allsorts of cars from all over the country and drive them back to base I picked up one of these 6R4s This video brought it all back to me the transmission noise I thought I would open it up just to see what it had .......and the throttle stuck open ! I s**t myself I managed to take it out of gear and stop it and the throttle unstuck itself Needless to say I took it really slow back for the rest of my journey scared it might happen again if I booted it

[@PetrolPed]

OMG !!! I bet you kept that to yourself 😂

[@DTFilmProductions]

I went to a private test session of Metro 6R4's recently. A guy who was testing his 6R4 brought a 100 litre fuel tank with him. I said to him that's lot of fuel for a test session. He replied "Not really it uses 1 litre per mile when driven like this, so I might get a 100 miles out of it!"

Welsh Rally Clocaenog Forest 1985 a 6R4 went off and a friend and I helped lift it back onto the fire road. Then it wouldn't start so we pushed it for a bump start. It felt as if it weighed 5 tons. Then I remembered that it had three locked diffs. The driveline friction was incredible. You must need 400 bhp just to turn the transmission!
