I think this was the first Rallycross meeting I ever went to. I remember being staggered at how fast the cars were on the loose!! The noise, the smell, the speed!!! The golden years of Rallycross. Awesome. 👍🏻
Mark lived in the Middleton tyas area .near scotch corner ..north Yorkshire. Saw his bus back in the early 80s ..b4 he had the rs200 s the boy did great
yeah, and they had the quattro in third for awhile. i never watched much quattro on tarmac. i see why it didnt perform as well. its really just meant to all out on gravel
And you can never forget 1983 and the xtrac escorts of Mr rallycross Martin schanche and Gentlemen John Welsh. John's was the best looking car on the grid in the STP livery
Just found a colour slide my dad took of Matti Alamakis delta S4 coming into the pits in a massive cloud of white smoke from a blown turbo, it will disappoint the s4 unrealists but it was awful in rallycross, the rs200 and 205t16s were the weapons
@@rallycrossvhsdvdback then it had everything, WEC, F1, touring cars (or the rs500 cup as it basically was in the mid to late 80's) f3000 ( I witnessed Johnny Herberts crash) and the awesome formula ford festival (which still happens) in October and then all over winter rallycross, it was epic
The Final start :D Stuertist hardly got out from the grid when the lights went out. Dimi did not expect it to happen so fast and clearly missed the start so makes you think did the british have a tip about it. Thank you for the videos. Out of curioisity what VHS player you have? Quite good quality.

This is when rallycross was brilliant went to loads of race's back In the day great times.
All these years later.... and i still thoroughly enjoyed watching that!
I did the signwriting on Mark Rennison’s RS200....real paint, not stickers. DSRM...Darlington Steel Rolling Mills...long gone ! 🥴👍🏼
you CANNOT miss that ford s200 out in front. such a classic design of a car. that hood scoop cannot be mistaken.
Those were the days of TV showing some good sport.
I was there!
The great days of Rallycross.
Crazy to be able to hear the drivers giving a running commentary. Good show with some classic cars getting thrashed!
Used to love going to brands and lydden for rallycross and I remember the blue toilets at brands too
Thanks for posting this, good to hear all those old names again. 😊
Thanks
Plz share this channel on social platforms with your best video you have seen so far
Thanks
Yep. All of them rallycross legends.
Great to see cars sliding and the drivers working hard to keep them vaguely pointed in a straight line :-)
Good point well made, too safe and computerised these days
Miss the days of these cars proper racing .
Rallycross still exists of all types.. why miss when you can expand..🤘
You don't see regular grids of 10 in qualifying at rallycross any more this was the golden era ,
Some great races and memories from Brands 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
" I think what's happened is the back of the cars fallen off, can't do much about that..." understatement of the vid .
Loving your work awesome
Brilliant thanks for posting.
Wonderful racing!

Loved watching Mark race. Used to work with his sister, Val. Lovely woman.
impressed they already had the 6R4 and RS200 in 1986

And you can never forget 1983 and the xtrac escorts of Mr rallycross Martin schanche and Gentlemen John Welsh. John's was the best looking car on the grid in the STP livery
