Do not think there are many drivers who have been at home in a small workshop, designing and constructing their own world-class gearbox. But so did Martin Schanche.
In the early 90’s Rs200’s of Thor Holm Peka Rantenan and Pat Doran all had assistance from Martin and Rolf number of times they visited his workshop for his expertise, the engine note they all had was the same 😁 most definitely been schanchified😉
not only his own transmission but his very own 4x4 system, he was a professor at the university in Trondheim after he retired. I dont know what the class he tought would be called in english but it had to do with gear systems etc
I also think the amount of knowledge and understanding that Murray Walker had about rally cross vehicles along with F1 etc far exceeds what any modern day commentators have.

Too much to handle sometimes I guess, I still remember the noise and the smell from back then, 100% motor FUN Bring back some nostalgia and good memories watching this, thank you.
Spent a lot of time there growing up as my dad was a member of the Tunbridge wells Motor club and was a marshal and we would sit in the old bus looking down at the circuit a great view thank you great memories 😊❤️👍🏻
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 ;())
@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.
My mom had an XR3 when I was a kid. If only it was as fast as Shanche's XR3. That thing is so damn fast, it's showing a 700hp AWD Porsche a clean pair of heels.
Fanbloodytastic. My all-time favourite motor sport now not available on terrestrial television. Thanks so much for posting this and other videos which I now look forward in watching. I remember watching this on Grandstand when I was younger. And yes yesteryear was oh so much better.

I was there that day. This was how I spent every weekend in the 1980s and 90s. I lived about 12 miles from Lydden, so it was easy to get there, and my Mrs loved it too. You could see pretty much the whole track from one place. Later we got the Metro 6R4s and the RS200s doing the same thing with Will Gollop etc (he had the Canterbury Saab dealership). There was only rickety chestnut paling fencing between the track and the spectators, so not up to todays safety standards. Great events and a great time to be alive.😁
@@rallycrossvhsdvd HaHa, No, I was never aware of that. My Dad used to go there to watch motorbikes in the 60s, so he would've remembered, but he's sadly passed now, so I can't ask him.

Those were the days, brain out Norwegians and Swedes,not to mention Welch. Saturday afternoon compulsive watching when I was a teen and my Dad smoked and drank beer in front of the TV
Only Swedes and Norwegians? There were 2 Finns in this final too. But i get what you're saying, Finns were too busy winning in the WRC and the Finnish rallycross championship.
Great to see this here in the states nearly 40 years after it happened. And love that smoking escort. These days they would have black flagged him at the smallest puff of smoke.
This was peak testosterone mixed with minimal eco-concern and maximum power in the hands and feet of the driver. Now adays we see computers with wheels taking folks for a ride... Give me the 80s any day.
As far as I remember it was built by Gartrac. 4wd system by Xtrac. I think Schanche himself had alot of input in developing the 4wd system. Engine was a 1.9 litre Cosworth BDT developed by Zakspeed (can't remember what power it had but it had quite a bit)
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!., 😮😮😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻😉😊😊
I remember seeing that yellow Porsche a few times when I was a kid. Matti Alamäki had his team hq (a barn, really) just a mile away from my childhood home in Pori, Finland.
Youre not getting old. Motorsporst HAVE BEEN more fun 30 years ago. I remember watching this UK Rally Cross on Screensport TV That channel was awesome. Not everybody in ex yu had satellite TV but a member of my family did and i enjoyed screensport because it was all awesome racing. A lot of rallyx with mega awesome cars. I was a kid. So i thought it seemes to me that everything is getting less good to use those words,but it didn't seem to me. EVERYTHING,not only motorsports,is getting laimer and laimer to the point where even MotoGP is in same trouble. No,it's not you. It is still going down.
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!
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.
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.
