Dickie Davis the introducer I believe. Yes, defo. World of Sport on ITV Saturday afternoon. Murray Walker just moved to them from the BBC, mainly to do Formula One Grand Prix's.
Fantastic stuff! Mark Rennison could drive an XR3i just as well as he drove his RS200. I think I enjoyed Murray's commentaries outside of F1 even more than his Grand Prix ones. Thanks so much for uploading this.
Brilliant! What a lineup. Pity Roger Clark wasn't there. Or Timo Makinen - he won the RAC Rally three times on the trot in a MK1 Escort, 1971-73 I think it was. EDIT: 1973-75 it was, first two in a MK1 RS1600, 1975 in the new Mk2 RS1800. But this is 1985 I know, but above two were still active then. Thanks for this, VHS. Great transfer to digital. 👍
He was hilarious commentating rallycross in the 1970s, always doing cock-ups and getting wrong. Saying things like the leader, 'He has got everything under control', then he slams right into a mudbank. Hilarious. 🙂
@@marty3469 That's the one! 'See how they have cut outs on the windscreens, it is to help them see', and then the driver disappears into the scenery. 😁😁😁
About 10 marshalls out on the hairpin and not one fat lard arse unlike these days where I presume there's some sort of MINIMUM weight you need to clear before you can be a marshall?
Mark Rennison winner, perfect racing lines. Pity about using standard road tyres, noisy. With 115bhp, just keep the foot flat on the floor and do left foot braking around the corners, crash change the gears, it's not your car! That Shell Oils corner, always go wide on it over it with these type of cars, the grip there is phenomenal. And keep slightly off the racing line in places, bit greasy. Enjoyed. 👍
I agree, but I'm not sure for the 115 bhp. It seems to be some XR3 or XR3i, and not RS1600i. And what about engine preparation on these cars? Have you got informations about this championship?
Murray Walker the best motorsport commentator ever he didn't care if It
was F1 or club racing what mattered was the passion for racing

Des Lynam is the introducer. It's BBC Grandstand. Murray didn't move to ITV until that station started broadcasting F1 in 1997.
The 80s were just better. Let's go back 😭
Hear those road tyres squealing 😆 fantastic racing. Thanks for the upload👍👌👌👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Unbelievable action!!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Ive been looking and waiting for this for years, someone once uploaded it about 15 years ago and then deleted it, cheers for this!

This is fantastic
My favourite TH-cam channel by far
Imagine how much that lot worth now
Great vídeo, great Murray, great times. Wish we could go back to 1980. 2022 sucks in every sense and next years wont be better.
I was there !
Thanks for clip.. RIP Murray. Mad drivers nit so straight escorts and the end

My fave car ever!
Bless him Murray. I’m surprised we didn’t him say Pentti eklund 😂

@@huwzebediahthomas9193 I think I seen that clip, a mini Cooper with about half a ton of mud on the windscreen , driver couldn't see lol

That's what "driving on the door handles" means. But in this case not your own.
BRILLIANT
the first track on Need For Speed Shift. How cool!
awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Ciao. 👍
👍👍👍
Love it that's wicked 😃
I'm glad you like it
Bit glitchy in spots, but then it is an early beta version.
VHS magnetic tape never keeps. If you put a modern mobile phone on top of one, it's really messed up. 🙂

Lard arse 😂😂😂😂😂😂

How on gods earth did Murray know who was who? They all white except for the odd red cars and the numbers are barely legible 90% of the time!
Don't they have numbers?
