The Black,Green and white “buggy” is our off road rally car. 980kgs tubular space frame chassis 375bhp rear mid M3 3.0L engine 6 speed sequential with flat shift. We run in the prototype class which means anything is allowed regarding engine size, power and weight of the vehicle so long as it conforms to strict MSUK or FIA safety regulations. This video is Ceri Forest in Wales 2016 or 2017.. the next Bxcc event in 2024 is back at Ceri Forest in May
Good luck for May mate, cracking build,excuse the pun...
That is so cool. Thanks for sharing the info, good luck at the next event 🎉😎
Metro 6r4 making an appearance. Cult car.
My first car was an MG Metro Turbo,so naturally I love the 6R4.
6r4 absolute beast of a machine
I’ve navigated that car multiple times, it’s an honor to race in it
It’s home made to look like a 6r4, has a bmw m3 engine in the back and home built chassis
That and my personal favourite the Lancia Stratos
You should also check out some 80's and 90's footage from the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). That was something different.
The days of Group A and Supertouring were the stuff of legends
I used to really enjoy the RAC Rally at that time. Something you could follow on tv then. My enthusiasm for Skoda goes back to those days - the little rear engined cars that won their classes year after year memorably pounding around the Welsh forests!
Like suicide missions
This is between SCORE racing and rally, in line with Dakar and the World Rally Raid Championship. Some cool British cars, Metro 6R4, Bowlers etc
I love your expressions. Really genuine.
There's loads to see, but I get excited watching classic touring car championships. People with classic 10k to 1m+ classic cars racing each other in different classes.
Very exciting.
You need to check out the Bowler Wildcats & Nemesis, Land Rover based but lightweight body shells, V8 engines
They're building one based on the current Defender too now. Not seen any videos of it without stupid music over-top, sadly.
Rover/TVR hybrid V8's no less.
Bowler is the real deal. Dakar ready from factory if you want.
I used to build the wildcats. After bowler started with the nemesis. Cool cars shame the Fia wouldn't allow the supercharged v8 at the time
The reference you made about some of the cars racing, very similar to your Amsoil Prostock4 off road trucks. I love watching that.
There’s everything from British build Lofthouse machine, Milners to French off road cars Rivets and Foucarts. Great sport. If you want to see mare come see us in the off road arena at Goodwood FOS.
I didn't know this existed, but I like it very much. The cars look like those used in Rally Dakar. I also love the variety. Different engines, different bodies, etc. I'd live to compete in that. But the builds look EXPENSIVE!
There are 9 classes (I think) in the BXCC. They're based on the level of modification from standard. The top class is for bespoke prototypes. Some classes are split between beam axles and independent suspension.
1:25 Vitara, maybe?
2:27 The lights seem to be Citroen ZX?
2:51 The middle part seems may have been a 205, maybe?
3:08 MG Metro 6R4!
5:36 Renault Clio!
6:55 Those are the rear lights of an Elise!
I would say most of the cars are what we called "a buggy" in the 90s: self made vehicles to race off road.
And I need to think about Jean-Louis Schlesser, of which the most famous car was the Schlesser Original. He won "the Dakar" in 1999 and 2000.
Is it a Renault Clio? I think it's an Mini Cooper.
1.25 - Milner R5
2.27 - Fouquet
2.51 - Lofthouse
3.08 - 6R4 Replica
6.55 - GSR
The "Clio" has "silhouette" bodywork based on Clio V6.
Because most of the cars aren't road legal, BXCC events take place on a single stage. Each competitor has to complete a certain number of runs (usually 10 or 12) over 2 days.
They normally have a driver and navigator on board. Which enables them to be driven flat out.
And there are videos available showing - and hearing - the navigator and how he advises the driver as they go flat out. Awesome!
The more extreme machines are custom built like an ultra4 truck based on a smaller car with a fiberglass body.
The really stock looking black landrover was a freelander. A crossover sized 4x4 similar to a bigger suzuki.
The car at 3.14 is a 6R4 it was a souped up Mini Metro. This car was out in the 80s (group B series) but group B cars were banned mid 86 season due to a number of fatalities with drivers and spectators. The car was built around a model that your granny would feel comfortable driving into town.
They look like they escaped from the Dakar Rally and came here to have a good time!
We run a vehicle similar to the first car shown on the vid and its a millner Range rover Evoque (space frame with fibreglass panels) running a LS3 engine and we use it to compete in the BXCC and comp safari events
3:04 That is the MG metro 6R4 it was a Group B rally car, the most complete bonkers dog house sized car ever made.
There are a number of companies that build cars specifically for this type of rallying. Here, we see ones from Bowler, Milner and Lofthouse, among others I'm not sure of the name of.
The French are big into this kind of rallying, as well.
The Land Rover based ones sound as though they are powered by the Rover 3.5 litre V8. A fairly simple conversion as they bolt straight on to the same bell housing as the 2.2 Straight 4.
I really like rally raid class. It is on a whole different level
Another great Motorsport is the British rallycross championship
Different cars racing around a mix of dirt track and tarmac roads
The car @ 5:32 was a heavily modified renault clio (second generation 1998-2004 as I'm not sure if it is phase 1 or phase 2 of the second generation)
This is the car after which you started searching the web for answers on the cars, so I thought I provided as much as I can.
I used to has a second gen clio like that (well not a heavily modified one like in the video) as my first car.
It was a super nimble and peppy car as it weighs super little around 2000 lbs and had a good engine in it.
Only thing was that I fixed it to a useable state after a friend of mine had an accident with it, meaning there was a lot of wind coming into the cabin from the passenger side door as it was severely malformed.
This caused the whole car to vibrate a LOT while on the highway 😅
It was a super fun car though.
And I got it for free because I fixed it in multiple places.
Best part was that I didn't expect to get it donated to me, but they just gave it after a while out of thanks.
Vaguely similar to Dakar and Baja, some of the "Land Rovers" are probably Bowler Wildcats
@3.13 looks like a raised 6r4
You can almost certainly change your country in the search engine to give a more targetted search, have to move to the states on a regular basis to help with my search
1.00 is a short wheelbase Range Rover
2.06 is a land rover discovery
3.22 is a land rover defender
2.06 is a freelander
I’m not completely up to date with the British champ regs, but the ones local to me run these classes: Stock, Mod 1 (cut body shells, different engine), Mod 2 (same as Mod 1, but can change engine placement and use more purpose built parts), and Proto (fully custom built, not based on road cars underneath). Then you’ve got your engine size classes within those divisions
You definitely need to do a video on the metro 6r4 one of the most wild cars to come out of the group B era which then found a second life and fame on the European rallycross circuits of the 80s and 90s
Seems a bit like Dakar without the sand! :-)
Ok now check out the RAC rally of Great Britain , 60 - 70 - 80
North York's means North Yorkshire so York area more towards North Sea in north of England.
3.05 iconic car
Check out the British Armed Forces Rally Team
Looks a whole lot of fun and the variety of vehicles just adds to it :)
If you like this I suspect you'd love the Extreme-E racing series. They take electric off road cars to different types of terrain and then race 5 cars at a time, so it's like rallying but where they start together instead of being a minute or two apart.
The best way to get your head round what this is about is to the that where British Rallying is the grassroots that has WRC at the top this has Rally Raid like Dakar at the top. The routes are generally a lot rougher than rallying.
That heavily-modified MACHINE at 4:00 is an old Land Rover Defender. with - of course, a Ford V8.
Did not expect to see Land Rover Freelanders.
The metro 6R4 I had the privilege of working on and actually driving as a young man, until it was banned. The Lancia Stratos was my favourite of all.
Look at "Stock car racing Finland" or "Jokkis"
Quite fun stuff to watch 😄🇫🇮
Love the number plates behind you lol. BROCK.
Lots of land rovers, Bowlers (extreme modified LRs), an MG Metro 6R4, and a rather moded Renault Clio to name a few things seen in the video! DEFINITELY CHECK OUT BOWLER CARS!
My favorite metro 6r4 love the sound and acceleration
Lookup British forest rally championships and British Autocross u wont regret it.
i been to meany of these events there amazing machine great fun to watch the BCCC had big brakes between runs and amount of cars that run dropped a lot over the years and that kind of sucked that's why i loved AWDC safari events more, its non stop action almost and bit more lose on the rules def check out some AWDC safari vids {all wheel drive club}
This is mostly dakar class rallying. Bowlers are crazy machines!
The one that reminds you of a trophy truck was a defender I believe.
4:14 I think that's a Porsche.
The only thing stock about the land rovers is the body shell
I have entered this there is lots of ccv clubs across the country and you can enter stock vehicles and it’s free to get a licence for it as well it’s one of the cheapest motorsports to get into
Renault Clio, range rover Evoque, land rover Freelander, metro 6r4, bowler wildcats and many more...
you need to check out UK RallyCross from the 80's and 90's!! 5+ cars on a short circuit coarse of mixed surfaces
Yo yo... like your stuff and noticed the Bears helmet... now i know you da man... high 5 dude
You should check the french offroad championship called
Championnat de france de rallye tout terrain.
second this BTCC is another great watch
Pickering is only a 40 minute drive from me so i might just get over and look at this stage.
Couple of cars I recognized were, Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Freelander, Land Rover Defender, Metro 6R4, Renault Clio?
I encourage you to watch rally du touquet. It's a french rally championship with Rally 2 cars in the best classe (Skoda Citroen C3, Volksawen Polo etc...). You can see the highlight very easy on youtube of this year, it was alsome with raining.
Comp safari is also worth a look!
@ 3:16 its a metro 6R4 group B rally car from the 80's or at least to look like one
Man you seriously need to watch RallyCross usually sponsored by red bull, it’s my favourite!!😍
It's just the newer version of Comp Safari ua-cam.com/video/VnElZpoT65E/v-deo.html
If your interested in this check out Hill Climb Monsters,
Basically the same sport, stretching back to pre WWII
Bowler Wildcats, Rover Metro 6R4s mostly
Round 3 27 & 28 July 2024 Llandrindod Wells, Wales. Where i live , They were in builth Wells just up the road 2 years ago , The sound is better in real life x
“This reminds me of”... mad max
I have raced a BONE stock 1991 Land Rover Discovery V8 on these events and it is indeed good fun!
ua-cam.com/video/6Bx45vxN6to/v-deo.html
Check out Colin McRae who is unfortunately no longer with us after passing in a helicopter crash. He was by far the greatest rally driver the world had ever seen he was brilliant. I think you'd like him. He competed in the WRC world rally championship.
Great vidya/ any darts videos upcoming ❤❤
A bit off topic here but have you heard, a good few weeks ago, that the American rally association is in talks about hosting a new WRC in the USA! Possibly in 2026 or 2027! Maybe you already know about this but apparently it would be held in Tennessee. Check it out man! I’m sure you’d be hyped about it.
More like dakar rally raid cars. That stock landrover was a freelander.
Sure the small silver car with red stripe and the black/green car are both ProDrive production cars based on Colin McRae’s car he designed
some of those road legal cars have uk numberplates on - then they race them - nice 🙂
The land rover is called Bowler
Check out Paris-Daqar if you like this all terrain go anywhere racing!
These thing are tuned like a race car also stripped to make it light weight
Also look at comp safari racing for some wild action
Mann, if U had one of these cars now, it would be 10x more money at least than they were brand new! I have seen one of these Metro sport cars on the road in over 30 years! 😂
Check out group B rallying 1980’s best of the best rallying. Then they got band as to many were being killed.
You might like the Isle of man TT, looks terrifying
watch Erzberg Rodeo! It was the hardest, biggest enduro event and the US stars (Pastrana aso) failed badly and couldnt nearly finish when they came bye like rockstars, hihi. All hard enduro events are kinda okay but this was different ;)
I hope it comes back as an Austrian, living 10miles to it!
3:54 LAND ROVER DEFENDER
Need to look at 'NATIONAL DIRT'
You should check out some Swedish Rally videos, the VW Super Beetle rally cars are awesome :-)
Hey mate not sure if you will see this but for a really cheap motor sport you should check out targa rallying in the UK as you can enter in a standard car if you wish check out the video of a targa rally in the UK called the classic tracks targa rally mate
5:38 its a Renault clio but heavy modified
the stock cars were landrover Freelanders
Check out the french and European cross country championship, especially some of the rotary cars
You should take a look into the UK autograss scene,.open wheelers, rwd motorbike engines, minis etc
Ah, I see you already have. My bad :)
Is this the same as what used to be called 'mud rallying',seem to remember the Simonite sisters used to be big in that.
Lookup the Plymouth Dakar Rally.
Then, save up your cents and dollars and then come and _run_ the Plymouth Dakar.
Some of those land rovers have LS motors
Never heard of this either, but some of the cars remind me of Dakar rally cars.
You should react to the old GroupB Rally Cars
Need to do a GROUB B rally video!!
Go digging into the Metro 6R4, the most glorious Group B rally car- like your country cousin who sings opera.
please check rallycross , you will love it , world RX , 2018 for example , its like rally cars but a lot faster , but many ex rally drivers there
maybe you could check out british hovercraft racing such a laugh
You should check out MG Metro 6R4 group B rally car... You see a version of it at 3:05
Maybe you would like Scrambling too.
Rover metro 6r4 rear v6 engine. Landrover possibly bowler? Or special builds?
