A golden era of rallycross and rally cars. The unbelievably increíble soundtrack to a day sat trackside, or in the woods. Something I will never forget. I still have a little model 6R4 on the windowsill.

[@badgers1975]

I've got the scalectrix rallycross legends with gollups 6r4 and schanches rs200 , i have my signed program of both of them from the rallycross gp. It's wrapped up in a box to pass on to my son

[@leftpastsaturn67]

I still find it incredible that Martin Donelly was even able to walk after his GP crash, let alone drive competitively.

[@simonbertioli4696]

This type of British racing is utterly spectacular.... Reminds me of when my son's did grass track racing... great days... Excellent video...as all these videos.

[@VHSRallies]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@badgers1975]

All because of foot and mouth and lydden hill

[@roblowrie1969]

I was stood in that croud, right where Gary Baker crashed!! He hit it so hard, it sheared one of the Armco barrier supports, a 12" square wooden post, right at the bottom!! We thought he was coming through it!! I've got loads of photos from this race. Happy days.

[@dropship123]

Yet more motorsport gold, thank you VHS rallies 😊

[@VHSRallies]

Glad you like them!

[@LeopardBull5trik3]

I have the scalextric versions of Hopkins's rs200, skogsteds rs500, skanches rs200 and gollops 6r4. I loved rallycross as a kid and still love it at 35!

[@edh7492]

A man of culture 🫡

[@paulryan3012]

Very exciting, great to see my lovely old mate Trevor Hopkins at play

[@VHSRallies]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheLRider]

Still great entertainment 30 odd years later. Superb..

[@creepingjesus5106]

Barry Sqibb is probably still trying to collect that start...

[@clutchkick9169]

Christ, that Silkolene 6R4 is beautiful, isn't it?

[@nigelfaulkner5449]

6R4 and delta-integrale S4. Beautiful, both in sight and sound.

[@WestfieldFreshAir]

I was there spectating, from the pit lane, spent a lot of time in Dermot Carnegies pit area. A great day. Brands Hatch rally cross was awesome in those days.

[@jimclements3190]

It was mate, absolutely brilliant. I am lucky to have seen them all at Cadwell Park through this golden era.👍👍

[@carcontrolcommitment]

Gary Baker showing his priorities there, massive accident in a 100k supercar, but gets out wearing a £40 toptek helmet

[@jimclements3190]

😳

[@badgers1975]

Gary baker used drive an rs200 around Tunbridge Wells

[@tonnynijholt7090]

😅

[@awdobsession717]

Oh this is a fantastic bit of rally legends 👍🏻

[@dukeallen432]

More brilliance. Thank you.

[@VHSRallies]

Our pleasure!

[@ApeXStylezz]

[@VHSRallies]

Ah, that's great to hear. Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday uploads set to continue until the end of summer. Then we'll have a break until 'RAC time' in November.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Really enjoying the videos on your channel, thanks for uploading them they’re brilliant. Keep up the good work 👍👍

[@VHSRallies]

Glad you like them!

[@gothicpagan.666]

The ultimate motor sport?

[@a.j.carter8975]

❤ amazing 😊

[@davidclarke7728]

Exciting racing

[@badgers1975]

Has anyone got the footage of the guy rolling the saab 900 down tumbledown hill. It was the one year i didn't go as i had a national judo competition

[@VHSRallies]

You mean Anders Norstedt. It's on the channel here somewhere.

[@carltravers6005]

does anyone know why the groub b cars were banned around 92 season ?,

[@edh7492]

I’m wondering the exact same thing, maybe because they were ridiculously fast and fragile plus nothing else would be competitive with them, meaning the barrier to entry was quite high 🤷‍♂️

[@edh7492]

They banned the ex group B cars from rallycross at the end of ‘92? Why!?

[@MrKips1]

And that was the beginning of the end of real rallycross...

[@mister_M.]

Subbed 💯👍🏾

[@jdmking888]

Is there a event with these cars running these days? I'd love to see what I missed (born in 1990)

[@michaelkoch8912]

The British rallycross championship has a class that includes classic cars. You won't find the quantity of cars though. Some of the races should be on KZbin as well

[@jdmking888]

@@michaelkoch8912 I just want to see some of these old 90s rally monsters going for it, I'm not a fan of many cars made after 1999 to be honest pal but that does sound ace! Cheers

[@bigjohnfury5662]

Luckily Martin Schanche wasn't there or its of been a Mr Rallycross show 💨

[@nicnak4475]

Was 1992 the last Rallycross GP at Brands ? I wonder why it stopped, as it was such an exciting series, Well in the 80's it was.

[@VHSRallies]

I think it ran until 1995 at Brands. Not sure the BBC covered it those final years, mind.

[@billbailey1620]

The 6r4 was a f1 v8 with 2 cylinders cut off.why did no one put a dull v8 in one

[@jimclements3190]

Too short I think,engine wheel base etc.🤔

[@edh7492]

Will Gollop’s Silkolene 6r4 was twin turbocharged by ‘92 and about 650hp, previously 440hp in NA form. 😮‍💨

[@offworldatom8850]

This comment comes from the year 2023. Why can’t this track be on GT7?

[@pripph1355]

Metro 6R4's Forever!!!

[@badgers1975]

A few years before this my dad and i pulled up in the carpark and one pulled up next to us , we got talking to the guy and he said if you have £40k you can buy one. They were desperate to unload them to get some money back after the demise of group b , next year will gollup started with one.

[@robcornelius555]

Its not often you see a beetle holding off an Escort Cosworth.
