Loved how this made the group b cars had a second chance!

[@davekennedy6315]

This is incredible, i always wanted to see these Rallycross races using all the banned Group B racers. Will Gallop and his Biturbo'd 6R4 is legendary.

Gotta Love Murray Walker.. The Most Iconic Race Commentator Of All Time(IMO) R.I.P.

[@mrbetamax1969]

Group b ..caged in a circuit..safe there than running wild in the countryside..top vid vhs cheers

[@davekennedy6315]

Love the Astra 4S too. My 156bhp 2.0 16v Astra GTE was scary going flat out (130+mph) in a very lightweight and far from strong car. I can't even imagine what it would have been like with more than 4 times the power!

Great video, these were amazing days for rally cross

[@Bonsai2680]

Man Welch drove that amazingly for overheating. So exciting!

[@roblowrie1969]

I was in the stand at the bottom of Tumbledown, where it rejoins the track. The sound of these cars trying to get the power down, revving the nuts out of the engines was something else. The Chevy Monza of Rosnes sounded so different, but went like a rocket. Peter Harrolds Beetle was fast, too. Broke it, unfortunately. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Spat me pint out, when Murray said… Barry Squib the ‘Hotelier from Torquay’ well !!! As you can imagine who I thought of..🤣🤣🤣

Did you know Martin Schancke even had a political career in Norway 20yrs ago?
It ended really quick when he punched a disagreeable teenager in the face

[@VHSRallies]

Yes, indeed. IIRC his political views were decidedly right of centre.

[@plantfeeder6677]

1991 was a good year. That Escort getting 3rd was the highlight of this race.
Stupid questions to the winner.

[@davekennedy6315]

Does anyone know the specs of the Nova? They say its a 1.6 but its keeping up with turbo'd 2.0+ engines with awd!

[@barriemorris2829]
