I honestly love how cool that 4WD beetle is !

Just fantastic - thanks so much for sharing. Great memories!! I even had my Quattro resprayed black back in the day having watched Dimi at Brands.

Brilliant....thanks for uploading this. I haven't seen this footage before. I was at Brands Hatch for this and all the Grand Prixs and brings back fantastic memories.

I wish I lived in Britain in the '80s. Being such a big Ford fan it was one of their great decades in racing. So glad Welsh won one for the home crowd. I see this announcer's car being an MG-TC or Morgan 3-wheeler.

What a show Brands Hatch always delivers!

I pretty much grew up at Brands and Lydden Hill watching my Dad race in the 80's and 90's, definitely the best era of rallycross.

Now this is what I call a REAL Christmas present. Thank you

Thank you so very much for this great race. I saw these beasts or some of them race less than a mile from my child hood home.Alamaki, Schanche, Niittymaki, Arnesson (won) and many others. I was young but I can remember those cars. What a time to be alive that was.

Thanks for uploading. I used to go to the Swedish races and listening to the Quattros was extatic🏁

BHP was always the stuff of Legends in Rallycross but drivability mainly ruled out too many horses. Great watch good to see again.

This is amazing. I use to have an 1986 Mercury Lynx XR3. I wish we could get those wonderful RS Escorts here in America.

Awesome, thanks. So many memories!

John Welch driving genius.

Awesome footage thanks again for spending the time to upload.

I'll be honest, I don't much care if it's rallycross, F1, a bunch of snails or a couple of raindrops dribbling down a window, I'll watch any race if Murray Walker is doing the commentary.

Fuckin awesome! Thanks for these. I look forward to more

Incredible to see the lack of grip when transitioning onto the tarmac.

Fabulous!

The Marshall at 12.40 lolz

John Welch near enough fighting the fire marshals off...!

Dat final tho.

If Arnesson did that to Schanche, then Brands Hatch would disappear from the bomb going off in Schanche's head

wait each car has 900 hp? or all cars combined have 900hp?

👍

Alamaki salió a chocar a quien sea

Im not gonna lie, these look like slow cars haha i know theyre not but still

It's a actually a bit anoying to see this and know why john welch do so good! Schanke's engineering head bilt that car, ford let him develop the escort at his own will... As long as he built a duplicate for the other "team" driver...John had almost no hand, in the development of the escort... Schanke had his hand on both cars in the night, welch sleeping and come to ready table...
