    great stuff mate. was six when i saw this on a tiny telly in a Bristol hotel when i was a six year old little shit. this brought me right back to the heavy chocolate cake the sis got for her bday and the purple and yellow crap rollerskates the parents bought us. Can picture it all again. Thank u for refreshing my best memories from childhood, when my parent gave half a shit

    A golden era for Rallycross. The start of the RS200/ Metro 6R4 evolution. Great times. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
  • I was there that day, I was only 7, 43 now, I think it was the 8th December. Used to love that meeting

    thanks for the upload! Some cars in these old RX videos I've never heard of before; the 4WD bmw and 4wd mk3 escort are awesome.
  • @Christian-rj2yc
    Wow, the long wheelbase 10v Quattro looking relativey relaxed while beating RS200e2 and others. The setup of the car must have been spot on๐Ÿ
  • @rhysenna
    The driver's name's where just as awesome as the cars.
  • @ark-mark1

  • @animalcol1
    Ah, the memories!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ’›
  • @Barkevshadian
    Wonderful! Observing the cars behaviors,and extensively tested both.I think the Audi was on Radials while the others were on Crossply tires.
  • @nickdecker2350
    Tire and suspension tech must have improved a shit ton during that year. The conditions look about as bad as the 85 gp but they look like they're going twice as fast

    aussie โคต๏ธ Unfortunately the weather for the GPโ€™s was never that great due to it being in December but made for one hell of a weekend with class entries, granted not barbecue weather but staunch fans loved it. I think the video has been altered to improve quality but not always better looks to have been sharpened? but preserves it for the future. Good to see this all resurfacing as the channel I had got closed down hey ho!

    What became of X-Trac, or are they still going? They were everywhere back in the eighties.
