    Pleasantly surprised at the combination of Murray Walker and Tiff Needell, never knew Tiff did rallycross and i never knew that Murray Walker seemingly had a clone army of himself to voice every single motorsport event ever held.

    Just adding my 2 pence worth here. Please look at all the other content on this excellent channel.
    The Renault 5 of Roger Newbould had a 2 litre Ford BDA normally aspirated engine in it. British regulations were such that if your car was 4WD or turbo charged you would have to go into the supercar category (Formula A as it was known, Newbould was in Formula B)
    John Welch's car was Opel's mothballed Group B rally project. XTRAC had already built the transmission for it so it was almost rallycross ready.
    The yellow and blue escort of John Smith was Martin Schanche's car that won the event in 1984. The yellow escort of Kjetil Bolneset was John Welch's and won the 1985 event. Jonathan Palmer had driven it the year before.
    Jonathan Palmer's RS200 was owned by Martin Schanche and that was a rent a drive car
    The 6R4 Tiff Nedell drove was Will Gollop's original 6R4.
    I was watching the grand prix in the back of the pits at Hoppy's Drop and Schanche's RS200 sounded very sick and was misfiring when he put his foot down. Made Gollop's afternoon easier. He told me afterwards it was a broken exhaust manifold.
