Jesus.. was there ever an motor sport event that Murray didn't commentate? What a legend.
he never commentated on lawn mower racing as far as I know!!
🤔
@@phoenixmotorsport647 That's where you are wrong, Sir. I have footage.
@@azynkron Seriously? I would love to see that
How many motor sports event would you like to comment on?
Murray: Yes
Am I getting old or was life just a little bit more fun 30 years ago... great vid , thnks for posting.
RobD Dickinson : From one old fart to another, yes it was.
Murry Walker best of all commentary
Yeah, especially car racing... Everything is just too sterile and 'disconnected' (funnily enough) today.
you are and it was.
They never show this series in german TV. Never seen this before
RIP murray walker Ur a commentating legend
I agree, it's good to hear his voice
Those were the days.. those were the days! MAN and homebuilt MACHINE! Not a bucket filled with electronics and crap! That really was the Golden age of Rallycross! Never forgett when Matti Alamäki won the race at Ahvenisto in Finland that year! Thanks for uploading! 🏁🇫🇮
Agree! Shame I wasn’t around to see it :(
Prodid…. Factory Rally Cars!!! You must be stupid!
Every one of those cars is EFI - what the FUCK do you think the E in EFI stands for?
Just replied to Rob Dickinsons comment how racing was much better 30years ago. It bloody well was,i was a kid but i remember the rally cross i watched on screensport sat tv. THAT was a racing channel.
@prodidzsáj These cars are technically faster. 750+hp some of these.
Scrolling through the comments here, I can only smile at the complete absence of any dispute or childishness, amazing stuff! Motorsport bringing like-minded people together, long may it last!
Oh, and the racing/cars & personalities(& the music!) was better then :)
Everything 80s was more fun than now, music, sport everything.....great upload
Martin Schanche, what an absolute legend of Rallycross. I honestly loved watching him and Granstand and World of Sport on a Saturday.
😉BBC Grandstand Saturday lunchtime December 1984 They were the day’s, Introduction smooth Des Lynam.

Alamäki is real Legend
That yellow Porsche 930 though.. 700 bhp all wheel drive, give me a hoon in that beast over any modern supercar anyday.
AAhh that explains alot! it launched like it was all wheel drive but I assumed it was RWD and sat there boggled and impressed!!
thats in 1985 were the avarage car had like 80bhp in europe and ppl. are wondering why racing is dying.
modern racecars have better susspension, tires and traction systems etc. but same or less HP than 30 years ago.
spectators notices that, there is not that sensation of an "driver taming a beast" anymore...
@@gOtze1337 I drive a 1985 Audi 80, wouldn't want any modern crap over it. It's only got 90hp but it's so light it doesn't feel slow at all. It never was a racecar but there's response through the steering wheel, the pedals, the seat, it just feels so much more alive than modern cars. Plus it looks good and has good fuel economy. Can't imagine what 700hp in a car that light must have felt in 1985.
Still lost to an Escort. :D What amazing cars...
@@jaysee1982 But remember, Martin's car is not even close to "normal", he manufactured his engine, drive and other parts him self. Martis car was must a shell, he build the rest.
Schance, Legend. Always highly entertaining to watch.
Alamäki legend too
Thanks for digitizing this (to whomever too the time/effort)
No problemo
Thanks very much for sharing this. Brings back Saturday afternoon memories. Great to hear Murray again. He is peerless.
Our pleasure!
Schanche....Ford Escort Turbo...560bhp!!
WOW, The stats on the Escorts power, acceleration, adjustable power to the wheels etc, 1980s!!
💪😏💪
Just love this stuff💯🔥
80 and 90`s rallycross was a good damn crazy thing to watch. Crazy but top skills drivers with monster cars. My favorite among them all is..... the myth, the legend, constructor and inventor, mr rallycross himself....Martin Schanche of course ;())
560hp, RWD, and on 13in wheels. That escort is insane
1:35 and 11:35 - It's definitely 4-wheel drive.😁
Its 4wd wtf... he made the 4x4 system himself in his workshope by himself.
@Ruudiii he did. In fact this genre of motorsport pioneered new inventions.
One driver in the scabbiest looking Fiesta had 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steer.
5:48 - Is that a Stunning 288 GTO just relaxing on the side of a race track as rally cars flinging stones and mud at it in disdain.
maverick buckley I would say it’s a 308 judging by the Louvres on the top of the front wings 🤓
It is nor a stuning car at all
Being a 288 or 308... that's the proper way to use a car!
308 gets
GTS
When motorsport was brilliant.
Good old lydden rallycoss days , and no bloody mobile phones
The sound of the engines is absolutely awesome 👌
We Agree
So fantastic to hear Murray's voice.
James Bond smokescreen ACTIVATE
Legendary commentator, legendary cars. I would absolutely give my left arm for any of them cars. Particularly that yellow Porsche. And yes I am drooling
haha
That Escort was thrillng to watch.
Martin is a LEGEND!
Martin Schanke is as big as quattro in B1 class in rallying, but yes, spectating these events when I was a child was something else!
Again awesome to watch. Check the 288 GTO parking there 5;50 in the dirt. (One of only 280 built) Mind blowing fun. Thanks for posting
Pretty sure that's a 308 GTS.
Thank you so much for uploading these. Just found you and subbed immediately
What a great race!
Thanks for subbing and enjoy the channel plz share 😉
Fantastic race 👏🏻 and even more interesting times for motorsports back then.
My grandad was the spanner man for Kevin Richard’s at Lydenn on the bikes. Brings back memories watching this footage.
Back in the days when cars were cars and security an option. °_°
Alamäki's monster of Porsche... How can any human being keep that widowmaker on the track?
It was on sale in Finland last year, not even expensive!
Martin firecracker Schanche, entertainer 👍
The old smoke trick...
0-100 in 5 seconds out of a 1.8 escort?? incredible..and what skillful drivers. brilliant video.
@Johan Sahlin He meant 100mph as Murray Walker said. So 0-160
100 mph?
@Johan Sahlin Actually 2 seconds 0-100 km/t
Acually it was clocked at 0-200kmh in four seconds on dry tarmac
@@64fairlane305 That's a 7 second 1/4.
Bliksim insane driving. Thanks guys.
What memories. We used to go to Lydden all the time. Grass track was by spectators wooden fence and in the woods section there was mattresses tied to the trees and some straw bales here and there 🤣
A mattress tied to a tree will stop a car at 100mph.😁
These are worth watching for Murry Walker's commentary alone.
Now that's a impressive Mk3 escort!
Loved watching this on sat wi dickie Davis on world of sport
Glad I managed to be a small part of this era of Motorsport.
Great memories use to watch them on grandstand world of sport great days folks! Great drive from Martin there took some beating didn't he ! Like the way Murray nearly ran out of steam when Martin on top of the car lol!., 😮😮😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻😉😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it
I watched this live on Saturday afternoon TV!
Saturday Afternoon this will jog your memory 😉

@@rallycrossvhsdvd Yes well remembered! I took my two sons when they were small to Swindon Rallycross, where we saw an Audi Quattro racing for the first time ever!
That would of been the black Quattro of Dimi Mavropoulos😁 seen elsewhere on this channel 👍🏻
@@rallycrossvhsdvd Yes that's the man.
so good
nothing but raw power
What a truly magnificent sport! ❤
Clicked for that yellow porsche, stayed for the madness
I remember seeing this race live after reading about martins escort in a magazine a few months before
Martin`s 4WD Escort was clocked doing 0-200kmh in four seconds flat on clean tarmac
bring rallycross back to brands hatch and cadwell park. they were the best places for it.
minimr2 they could easily be rebuilt.
The ANT Rebuild It's NOT easy than you think, silly!
Marchel Kindangen laying a couple of gravel roads, most of the brands hatch rallycross track is there still anyway, and its not like cadwell park and brands hatch circuits nolonger exist it wouldn't be too difficult. the difficult bits to rebuild are still in use (the racing circuits) so don't need rebuilding.
These were mad scientists driving their insane creations. Hard to believe this was 1 year before I was even born. Reminds me of my dad and his old pals building pull trucks. Hell even when I raced karts in the late 90's it was still more of a "backyard scientist" run what you brung, but that's when the regulations and Karting association really started coming in with the rules. The old days were the best days is what I'm saying.
💯
I have an old VHS tape somewhere of this type of rallycross. I havent watched it since I was 9 or 10 years old. I need to dig it up and watch it again!
If not plenty on this channel and more to follow although harder to find
Oh wow. More than 2 sponsors. No Red Bull or Monster logos in sight.
Yeah Murray Walker at his finest awesome
Habemus Papa? Great race anyway, love that rallycross era along with the Kadett 4S and all the Group B recicled. Good times at motorsport...
Man I feel old. I don’t enjoy motorsport as much as I did as a kid watching this stuff on Grandstand on a Saturday afternoon.
What the hell happened to Rallycross?
Slotmags on the porche looked good.
Good to hear Murray Walker .. sadly deceased.
Great I used watch This on Grandstand as a kid,Better than the Rubbish Racing we have in 2023
Damn. This is the same year I was born. Holy shit this stuff is old. XD
no you are a bit too young, you missed the fun
Brilliant race 👍
The Good Old Days🙌🤧😫
The home of Rallycross LH
Why do they not do this anymore?
Ahh! Back when drivers were REAL personalities who knew what the fans wanted to see!
They could not tell the truth coz FIA would have banned the cars but Schanches escort had nearly 1000 bhp instead of 600 and same goes for alamaki and niittymaki. 600 was just for FIA regulations. Turbo cars would have had different multiplier compared to n/a engined cars if they would have stated officially the real numbers. And they did not lie. They had 600 bhp with 1,5 bar boost. They could screw it temporarily to 3 bar in the start and last lap for example.
The Xtrac at most had 570bhp max and Alamaki was reported to have max of 700bhp although rumours of more where circulating but running these cars with anything more would have been destructive to the engines.
@@rallycrossvhsdvd Alamäki admitted in domestic interview that the engine had over 900 in the dyno, tho they had two sets of turbos and they might have ran with the smaller ones so seven to eight hundred could be close to the truth. Alamäki had same engine the porche used in Le Mans GT car. Porche factory was putting very much in line because it was great advertisement and engine and some parts was practically free compared to other classes expenses or sponsor deals.
The chassis was made in Alamakis own carage and suspension was made in Finland because like today most of WRC teams, back then many teams wanted finnish know how on extreme state of the art dampers. The know how originated in neighboring Swedens weapons industry, Bofors guns was leader in accuracy and it was thanks to great damping characteristics. Many Finn metal worker worked in sweden back in the day. The great suspension know how has shown in for example Finnish guys dominating enduro motorcycles world series and many other branches of motorsports.
these are very exciting. Is anything like this still going on? Whenever I turn on motorsports videos ( new ones ), they put me to sleep
Yes, rallycross just became a FIA world Championship. Cars are different but they are just as fast and powerful
but there is no Martin Schanche...
Correct. He went into politics some years ago.
CrowJam the gp sends me to sleep every time. Who needs nitol
James bonds car was impressive with the smoke screen
Do you have videos/DVD from German races (e.g. Estering)? My dad was a rally cross driver from mid 70s to 1983.
I remember seeing legends like Schanche and Hansen back then, sitting at various racetracks as a toddler. 😁
Only European rounds in 🇩🇪 but a name would help 😉

@@rallycrossvhsdvd can I contact you by email or website? I won't wrote my family name here.
Insomma , un disastro.
格下のフォードエスコートがストレートが１番速いなんて驚きです。コーナー進入で詰められますが立ち上がりが速いのでストレートが楽勝ですね。スローインファーストアウトですね。
Dislike is from Greta Thunberg xD
I don't get it who clicks this Video an then dislike it, it's not clickbait, its no stupid music overlay, its no stupid kid commentating, its original ´85 TV footage in ye good olde 4:3, when Motorsport was still Motorsport, Mid-80´s till Mid-90´s was the High-Era of Motorsports !
Red Flag!! Sir this is the last time !!
Oil getting in the turbo not a blown engine... Ford merker's had that problem back in the day.
Yes, we all heard that on the commentary at 8:17 too...
I had a silver xr4ti and beat the hell out of it. I sold it to a kid who went to school with me and he rolled it after having it for a month or so
February 13th 1985 😎👍
That smoke just looked like a turbo oil seal, at the most a replacement turbo no biggy
Imagine doing that today
*Blows motor*
Continues to fight for 4th...
Nah, just a oil-gasket for the turbo, no Worries!
Just A Hellish! amount of smoke.
Hai
Hello.
I need to know what the points system was used between 1985 and 1999. Thank you very much in advance.
This is what you call motorsport ... none of the "procession" laps of today's garbage
2:44 did he say 760 hp? damn that's insane
It was reportedly believed to of had more Bhp 800+ the rumour at the time😮
@@rallycrossvhsdvd The speakers said around 900 at Lyngaasbanen-Norway, guess it depended on the track & how much turbo-pressure he gave it
Is that a Ferrari 308 GTB or a 288 GTO casually parked on the right at 05:46?
Looked like a Ferrari 288GTO parked alongside the track at 5:48.
This is wild
At the start i didnt think the escort had a chance . ! How i was wrong .wickedly fast wow
Less power in Escort, but the winner...have much ho its driving the Escort..
One Escort is fast like a rocket and the other smokes like one lol
I'd give anything to have a sniff around that car park with my camera now.
real cars, real drivers definately how rallycross should be, not the boring derestricted wrc cars and mostly washed up rally drivers that people have to put up with nowadays! bring back the prototypes and group b cars!!
He was escorting them
I can smell the smoke through my iPads screen
Did not know that smoke screens were allowed back in the days.
marshalls a bit slow on the uptake there...
no one cared until it got silly, even then they ignored the red
Do you even drift bro?
RIP Murray
Mega 😍😍😍
What a madness...
Nice Ferrari at 5:48 🙂
Smoke screen laying escort :D
Even better if he'd learned to pronounce Schanche. It is not "Shanke", but "Skanke"
May I know these mk3 escort are RWD or FWD
4wd 😉 xtrac turbo
@@rallycrossvhsdvd thanks😊
@@rallycrossvhsdvd So fascinated on how those mk3 escort jump out of the corner and also the crazy accelerations..thanks for uploading..cheers from Malaysia
Beautiful sounds mechanically and verbally here
And a rare Ferrari 288 GTO, seen near the track at red flag moment
