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.

Yet more motorsport gold, thank you VHS rallies 😊

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

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.

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.

Still great entertainment 30 odd years later. Superb..

Thank you very much for all these uploads!!!!

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.

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

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

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

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 KZread as well

@@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

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.

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

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 🤷‍♂️

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

18:54 😂😂😂💯

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.

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

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

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

Ya know Chevrolet changed their Nova to Chevy II because they couldn't sell any in Mexico. No Va means No Go in spanish.😂
