    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.

      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

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

      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.

    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!

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

    • @edh7492
      @edh7492 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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 🤷‍♂️

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

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

      Too short I think,engine wheel base etc.🤔

    • @edh7492
      @edh7492 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

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

      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.

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

    • @michaelkoch8912
      @michaelkoch8912 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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 TH-cam 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

    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
      @VHSRallies  2 ปีที่แล้ว

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