I used to love all forms of Motorsport back then but this event was at the top. So so good!

I’m at an age that I was able to see all the rallycross GP’s live. Also had an uncle that raced in the early events.

[@samueldowney2806]

Amazing, what a gem. Mad cars, lots of mud, and some rather unsporting driving in the final Lol, and of course, the late, great, voice of motorsport himself. Wonderful.

Incredible to think how rare cars like the rs200 and the S4 were modified & thrown around..

[@gothicpagan.666]

Certainly 6R4's were comparatively inexpensive, due simply because no one wanted them, RS 200'S were in a similar position.

[@giuseppec8158]

@@gothicpagan.666 Given the lack of results and the NA V6 engine , it's easily understandable for the Metro 6R4 to be the less desirable Group B. As for the RS200 however , it just seems strange (with today's eyes obviously) because if not big wins it had at least some potential (turbo , awd , small , nimble..).

[@gothicpagan.666]

@@giuseppec8158 In theory 200 off were built of every group B homologation model. As of after 1986 they were surplus to requirement, rally cross being the last bastion to use them in angre.
The upsurge in popularity in this sport meant that teams were able to attract big sponsors and cars developed at a very fast rate, untill the old group B machines were no longer the thing to have. Great times🙂
