1982 Belfast Car Ferries rallycross, Boyd's Quarry

Action from a round of the Belfast Car Ferries Rallycross Championship, held in November 1982 and broadcast on RTE. This event, organised by Larne MC, was notable for attracting a number of overseas entries, including John Welch and 'Mr Rallycross' himself, Martin Schanche - although the sodden quarry circuit was a formidable challenge for the Norwegian in his Zakspeed-engined Mk2 Escort.
Commentary by Alan 'Plum' Tyndall.
