I can remember watching this on grandstand like it was last week. Schanke was always my idol. The Sachs escort was notorious for kicking ass. 560hp in the 80’s. 😮😮😎

Used to watch swedish rallycross in late 80's and 90's.. they had them all. Group b, pikes peak, insane homebuild Frankenstein projects and of course Saab of all kinds.. plus there was some real prominent names competing. Remember one rather large course in a rock quarry. Really cool track, fast and unforgiving. Rock face on the left and a plunge on the right into the water pit... Danish rally in the 90's also saw a peak of popularity, with many drivers in international championships. Ohh the smell of rubber, oil and hot Corolla clutches

Just nuts! This is the most insane racing on the planet🤯. Huge horsepower numbers and just a complete commitment by the drivers. It’s mad. I will never understand why this type of racing didn’t take off in America....I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying it: great racing, lots of contact, huge horsepower and cool cars; what’s not to like?

The original Schanche Escort Xtrac is back in the hands of Mike Endean, who created its transmission. Alamaki's Porsche turned up in vaguely restored form not that long ago, I think. No idea about the likes of Arnesson's LWB Quattro.

I wonder what they do 0-100 kmh and 0-200kmh and 1/4 Mile time and speed also ? They said 16 minutes that a car the same as Shenker could get up to 160 mph in 1/2 mile. Where do these cars get their extra power from ? I wonder what the fuel economy is like ? I also wonder what size the engines are ?

I see what you mean 26 minutes in John Welch Ford Escort XR3 Turbo does 0-100mph (0-161 kph) in 5 seconds. For some reason he got a bad start in that race though.
