Martin Schanche still holds the Lap record at Lydden before it was changed never to be broken, it was at the above round you see that the Lap record went to Mister Rallycross 👌🏻
I was at both :) (Fredrik) This is just made for fun at a cheap free moviemaker a couple of years ago. In martins favour they had a dry track. Its pretty moist when Petter is at it. ;)
Martin was awesome at Lydden and occasionally hot headed too. Went many times over the years not been since img took over had many trips around Europe.
I always new Schanche’s laps around here we’re ballistic. Lyddens a power circuit so the old group B monsters can still hold there own and even beat the modern machinery round there. I suspect it would be different at some twistier circuits. Still impressive that the 28 year old car is still quickest!
@@barriemorris2829 He had the wastegate controll in the dashboard and computer added more fuel according to boostpressure. It had 650 hp with 1,5 Bar setting but it could be ran close to 3 Bars if he had the grip which could also be perfected with adjustable rear/front balance in the center diff. They used toluene instead of pumpgass so it had more power for two reasons. 1. less knock and 2. more power with same amount of fuel. For the last time, yes he had momentarily 1 000 horses,
Just to come in late to this one. The track that Martin was racing still had dirt corners - so the Mabbs Bank corner and Chessons. During the evolutional of the track during Pat Dorans ownership, year by year both of these have gone to tarmac. You can see it clearly around the inside at Chessons with Petter. Shame really, as that was the attraction of Rallycross - dirt vs tarmac.
I was there at both events, it is not really a fair comparison, the two eras were very different times, Back in the Group B era cars were all but built and run by one individual with a small workshop, now in the FIA era teams have manufacturer backing, development budgets, testing etc. That said back in the group B days there was far less in the way of restrictions. Schanche set the record for the track with old finish line on the Dover slope at 2-28.8, I very crudely timed Solberg for two and a half laps (when he jokered on his last lap) to the old finish line then added one lap time, He did a high 2-25 or low 2-26, most of his competitors got under Schanche record such is the strength in depth of the FIA championship, no one else in the group days got under 2-30, That said it is less than three seconds difference thirty years apart.
Its nothing other then a funny comparison. Solbergs race where held at damp conditions also. But still I think the poorly(compared to today) handling RS200 was quick at this circuit. I was also at both events (Admin)
With the force’s Generated by the Group B’s the teams had to start bolting the tyres to the rims, as the tyres would be rolled off the rims in the corners and also at the starts and out of the hairpins the wheels would spin inside the tyres putting them out of balance. Also the cornering G forces meant Will Gollop couldn’t hold onto the steer wheel with the outside hand 01:02. In the last seconds of the video, when Schanche was celebrating throwing the RS200 side to side with all wheels spinning he just caught a patch of earth with big lumps of mud and flints. The European Rallycross event was the biggest meeting of the year for Lydden and there was car dealer marques around the track, A lotus dealers display with 2 brand new Lotus Esprits were on the hill right up against the spectator fence, I know this as I was parked along side the the 2 Esprits. Now Schanche’s celebration display, good as it looked from afar, but everyone the other side of the fence were showered with grass, mud and rocks. My car, girlfriend and I got away with being covered in mud and grass, but the 2 Esprits were showered with grass and mud too but also with flints and rocks. One lotus had scratches all over it and the other was scratched up too but a rock smashed the glass engine cover. Martin lived up to his nick name that time, with a lot of people missing out the “Martin Schanche the” part and just shouted the last rhyming word (meaning to pleasure one’s self )of his U.K nick name at him as he drove around and down to the presentation area.
I take it you dont like him, cause of he did this out of pure luck. I challenge you to name another driver that ruins race meets with fights, bumps into competitors after the finishing line, and acting up like this on purpose.

He had 1000 bhp in that car. 600 bhp was for FIA.
The track now looks a lot smoother now than it was in the 80s
@@ark-mark1 650 hp he had but very well developed car.
@@ark-mark1 where did u get that info XD its not running 1000hp

And even if Solberg was in front , Schanche would have pressured the posh boy , made him crack and simply driven away.
Heia Martin Schanche!
I now which era I'd rather watch and it doesn't have stupid joker laps
TEN thumbs up !!

who won then?
Schanche, but there was no 'alternative track' rules, and his car is now forbidden (google "group B cars").
Love you Peter solberg 💕
I love Schanche.
