1984 Motaquip British Rallycross Grand Prix

[@howardsportugal]

Martin is a really lovely guy - totally committed to the drive & just as committed to his friends & their families.

[@guidorollard2944]

there is simply no one till today that has what Martin Schanche had. He was and is king of rallycross

[@extec101]

that car where mentaly fast in that era.

[@sometimesidreamaboutcheese]

He did a lot for rallycross itself, but in terms of pure talent I think Matti Alamaki was pure genius of rallycross back then.

[@VonBlade]

Great to see a new upload. Monster cars and names I still remember all these years later despite not watching any modern RX.

That sudden shake up near the end of the B-Final definitely intensified that race.

[@Daisy-ns2xn]

Thanks for sharing

[@frazerguest2864]

Absolutely wonderful ! Many thanks for uploading these. It takes me right back to my childhood, sat in the living room, watching Grandstand with my late Father.

[@dukeallen432]

Excellent racing.

[@mikefpe]

Third. Great video keep them coming.

[@Dany45UR]

Que buenas carreras 💯💯💯. 1000 veces mejor este trazado en Brands Harch que el de Lydenn Hill

[@vermillion.__-_.]

Those cars are just insane, I’d rather have a road version of one of these instead of a supercar any day.

[@jamesprince4991]

I don't remember that Capri at all. Nice to see.

[@satanihelvetet]

Wierd with both 2 and 4 wheel drive cars in the same race.

[@barriemorris2829]

10 second penalty back then

[@Malibu1515]

The second that VW Bug took the lead in the B main that driver's head went up his ass. He blew line after line and threw that win away.

[@dkvperformance]

👍

[@guidorollard2944]

rallycross cars should be have like 1000 hp, get back to unlimited

[@extec101]

todays cars is faster due to better tyres gerboxes and suspension. same with rally group b cars vs modern car the 2021 car will beat the crap out of the 80s cars. but the old era got its glory with firebreathing cars and primitive handling. just love to watch old rally and motorsports videos its a gone but not forgotten era.

[@64fairlane305]

@@extec101 not true. the best of the late 80`s was the fastest ever

[@sometimesidreamaboutcheese]

@extec101 Well, in the end of Group B (alongside with Group S prototypes as a legacy) there already was adaptive suspension with bunch of sensors and with 4 wheel steering, semi-automatic gearboxes(early sequental), suspension and tyre monitoring in realtime, realtime torque split selectors, progressive engines, antilag systems, brakes cooling, f1 aerodynamics, titanium alloys and light, strong exotic materials literally everywhere. Main problems was only tyre developement and brake systems, some improvements of suspension was already on the way as another things here and there. GroupB/S was like cosmic era with non-stop ideas. And FIA fucked up all that for over 30 years. Do not underestimate rally engineering of late 80s. You can check for yourself what GroupB cars could do with nowadays modern tyres at some hillclimbs (several Ianiello's Lancia Delta S4s) or at some rally events(Lancia 037 with modern tyres is insane for RWD car) with proper drivers.

@@extec101 ​ todays cars were not around 40years ago If they were they wouldn’t win as these would have the same technology See how I did that to you nobhead 🇳🇴

[@guinnessharvey4476]

Seems a little unfair to have a car thats clearly faster than the rest?

[@nitrorory]

These cars seem so slow compared to what they became just 1 or 2 years later !

[@barriemorris2829]

Conditions were very slippery

[@debbierigby6304]
