Martin Schanche - The Messiah of the Steering Wheel
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- He grows up in Finnmark that is ravaged by the last years of war, and has been an outsider since.
Yet, Martin Schanche is the man who turns rallycross into Norway's new national sport.
He never backs down, never lets anyone pass him,
never accepts injustice, and never accepts being called a coward.
And still, he manages to carve his way into the hearts of the entire Norwegian people.
Here in England my brother & I were huge fans of his. Every Saturday world of sport or Grandstand would have the rally cross on tv & we loved to watch it. He was always winning 👍🏆
En norsk helt, legende, forbilde og en mann jeg ønsker skal vite hvor mye han FREMDELES betyr for alle oss bilsport fans 🤩🥇🥇
Han endte jo sin offentlige karriere med den ytterste skam. Råtten type.
Så absolutt 🎉🎉
Mr Rallycross is the best there has ever been. He never gave anything less than 100% for risk and reward, a little bit just like Colin MacRae.
I started watching Rallycross on Eurosport in the 80's and it was magic. Best races were with Martin in the RS200 and Will Gollop in the 6R4.
This was a fabulous find and so glad to have sat and watched it.
The Ford RS200 will always be my favourite car because of Schanche.
One of my favourite drivers of all time
What a funny character and crazy driver
There was always fireworks when Schanche was around. A guy who always drive at the absolute limit.
Very good battles with finnish drivers 80s....one of my favorite rc drivers off all time
Martin had a reputation in Australia. At least for me. In the mid eighties, snippets of him competing were shown on our sports programs on the weekend. This was my teenage years. I had a junior racing licence that let me drive my Father’s rally car in short circuit sprint competitions on the dirt. Martin was one of my heroes back then… The goal was to perfect the “Scandinavian Flick” as you entered the corner and then exit on full power. Martin was inspiring both as a great engineer and a great driver.

Er så glad for at denne delen av Norsk Kultur var en (liten) del av oppveksten min.
Var alltid moro å se rallycross på TV.
When I was a kid my dad would take me to watch the rally cross at Brands Hatch. Martin and Will Gollop had evil battles. This would have been about 1990. I knew nothing of who Martin was but the way he drove said it all. He was absolutely fierce, his determination to win was incredible. What a hero.
His rallycross car was brilliant it was a group b rally car way before even the quattro ,what a star
There was always a special vibe in the crowd when Schanche came to the start. If you got in his way you better hid, as he would always come back for revenge. Even for rallycross standards he broke a lot of rules. I cannot think of a race car driver who brought more action than he did.
From a time when Rallycross was on BBC Grandstand o a Saturday afternoon.... Fantastic 👌
He is some man. Great stuff. Thank you Martin.
seen scanche at brands hatch and lydden hill in the late eighties what a driver in that rs200
Ingen etter har levd opp til Martin sin kjøring. Legende i ordets rette forstand.
Er så glad fattern tok meg med på Lyngås første gangen på 80 tallet. Ble hvert år etter. Takk Martin for fantastiske minner
I have seen Mister Rallycrors ride many times on the duivelsberg belgium ...he was top
Martin "forbanna" Schanche, største og viktigste motorsportmann i Scandinavia noensinne!
Nja, jeg tror vel både Petter Solberg og Ronnie Peterson er over Schanche. Men at han kunne kjøre bil og var god i rallycross det er vi nok enige om Stian.
@@lotus72e Nja, Scanche har nok betydd mer for Rallycrossens markedsverdi i en 25 års periode enn det Solberg har med sin ene seier i Rally WRC og 2 seire i Rallycross VM...!?
Scanche ble vel Europameste 6 ganger bla., dette i kombinasjon med høy teknisk ferdighet og "definitiv karisma" gjør vel at Solberg og co. må bøye seg i støvet tenker jeg!
As a 1978 kid, Schanche was a living effing legend in the mid 80-s, and he still is. Underestimated by many, but goddamn if he didn't keep up his skills LONG after most retired.
i'm a big fan of this man !
Watched the UK Rallycross grandprix at Brands Hatch for 3 years in a row in the late 80s, after watching races on TV, a challenge to drive from NW England with 4 in a mini just for the day.Awesome times.
I met Schanche at Croft Circuit when I was about eight years old. Rallycross was amazing back then.
He is the sideways man Power on always - a pleasure to see him compete - always first at any cost. Thanks Martin
Jeg elsker å piske en gammel Escort 1600 rundt baner (i Assetto Corsa, vel å merke). Og EKSTREM kudos til Kleveland - motordamer er awesome, og hu er en av de originale i en tid hvor det var... rart å være kvinne og bilfreak. Much love!
He pulls a hilarious quip at the journalist at 19:20, that falls through in the subtitles. "You don't get a hug, because you brought the frame along with you from birth, with all the facial hair you've got"
Vilken bra dokumentär! Tack för du lagt upp den. Kommer ihåg namnet och såg på en del rallycross när jag växte upp. Vilken karaktär😂 och talang!
thank you for sharing with sub titles that was epic!
Greeting from a huge Fan from Germany! He ist half Norwegian/Half German Sechs Rallycross-Europameistertitel, die er zwischen 1978 und 1995 erringen konnte. Sein Spitzname ist „Mister Rallycross“
Mr. Rally Cross - the one and only! Hva var var vel livet uten kappestriden på Lyngås-banen - årets høydare!😊
Here from Canary islands watching this incredlible video and tryng to understand the subtitles....a big fan of that decade with Martin and Alamaki fight. Drivers and cars were absolutely crazy level.
Yep, it seems that the subtitles have been created automatically. They are quite a bit off at times, especially when dealing with expressions that cannot be translated literally.
@@Selendeki Yep, they mostly do a good job, but sometimes they are way off :-)
I grew up in the 90's, and being local to Lyngås meant watching the races there almost every year. I have fond memories from the track, and of course watching Mr. Rallycross himself race there. Some of the best memories from there is when I saw the races live during the day, and then watching the recaps on TV in the evening. I remember we collected bottles when we were there and got "ritch" from recyceling them afterwards. I also remember the race when Ludvig Hundsbet got his bonnet blown up on his windshield and Martin overtook him and won. It was a really cool race. The chicane where Hundsbet got his bonnet on the windshield were named "Hundsbet Dumpa". I also remember when I took my driving license we had to have a night driving course, and the driving school I used had that course on Lyngås. So driving my own 1987 Ford Escort there, where Martin had raced his Escorts in the past were really cool. It is sad though, that no one will get memories like that at Lyngås anymore, today there isn't much left of the track. Today the gate you had to drive through to get to the start grid is replaced with a new gate and a weight for cars. Lyngås have become a recyceling center. So all the memories you get there now is when you throw away your broken stuff, instead of breath taking racing.
Serr? Lyngås er blitt resirkuleringsstasjon? wtf.. :(
@@Totto87 ja, det er ikke blitt kjørt løp på Lyngås siden 1. september 2013, bare å kikke på satelitt/flyfoto fra Lyngåsbanen, så ser du hvordan det ser ut der i dag 😕
I was stationed in Greece with the U.S. Army in the late 80's, my passion for Rallying was just starting to take shape. I had bought my first T.V. and could get a very fuzzy signal from Eurosport which I used to quench my thirst for all things Rally. Then I saw this Rallycross program one day and was amazed (and horrified) to see retired Group B cars being thrashed and mangled, the two names the announcer kept shouting was Schanche and Alamaki.
At the end of his RWD era he made over 500 horsepowers to the wheels. When the 4WD guys became too fast, he then built an Escort MK3 and converted it to 4WD, well over 500 horses as well. Group B was a manufacturers race, but this was privateers and their own solutions. It was madness, just at a safer place (at the track).
Für mich ist Martin einer der besten Fahrer der je ein Auto auf der Straße bewegt hat, zusammen mit Walter Röhrl die brauchten keine technischen Hilfsmittel die wussten genau wie das Auto reagiert. Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland
Ich kønnen Deutch slecht sprechen, doch ich verstehe dich -- glaubt ich. Ich stimme ihnen zu!
Takk Martin ❤️🇳🇴
Vi elsker Martin!!
Thanks for subtitles👍
For en mann, heilt fantastisk
Legend! Met him once in a Norwegian airport and he was super nice to me. I was like 10 years old at the time 😂
Genial personlighet.
Excellent Thanks for sharing
Vilken Legend.... säger inte mer än så :)
Very good video
An interesting and informative piece of motor sport history. Congratulations to all involved with such challenging accomplishments.
Legend
"Du får ikke klem før du har tatt me deg ramma i fødseln" e å blir en av de bæste setningen som noensinne e sagt på norsk TV!!!!
Skjønte den ikke før jeg leste kommentaren din nå. Lo faktisk så jeg grein!
😂
Tusind tak! Jeg glemmer ham aldrig - en fantastisk legende.
En sann legende💫
Verdens beste Marin
En gang kom han seg så vidt av startplata. I intervjuet etterpå;
"Han spytta førstegiret rett ned i asfalten, det ligger der borte ennå ..."
Hello from Portugal
You can translate de video to English.
Super legend
Legende!
Min barndomshelt :D
Den største!
Legend.
what a guy
Martin Schance - one year should drive le mans but raced off the cource rather early , maybe he forgot he was on asfalt , but he has smashed a lot of cars
I remember that, and I remember I was disappointed when he drove off. And I also remember his rater silly explanation for it; He said had to find out what the limits of the car was. But that type of racing wasn't his cup of tea. You can't take any overconfident chances with a Le Mans racer and save it. Taking chances is partly what made him a great rally cross driver. In addition to just being a great driver, of course.
@@HGSolbergwell he were racing le man and rally at the same time, even rally the day after and still were competing high 😂
Elsker MartinSkancke!
Born in 1944. Wins rally in 2000. Wow
Minner. En legente
lyngås = lightning goose 🤣🤣
I løv it
Yes, the word can be divided in two ways. Lyn-gås = lightning goose, absolutely correct. But Lyng-ås = heather hill. Sorry to piss in your cereal, I really loved your interpretation :D
@@Hagledesperado It says in the subtitles, only some places, and it is hilarious to me x) æ vet :D
@@Boykot1 Yah, I checked Google Translate, it said the same thing. I guess it's what UA-cam uses for auto translations.
Hahahaha den minste ulykken ever med ei boble som bulker, så blir rally forbudt. Typisk norsk ;) e: Jeg visste faktisk ikke at han var en ekstremt dyktig mekaniker også...
Ikke bare mekaniker, men ingeinør også. Minnes han solgte x track girkassa han lagde til ford
@@t16205det stemmer, han fikk tilbud om å kjøpe tyskutvikla fra AUDI. Men det systemet var da for dårlig etter hans mening, så han mente bestemt han kunne lage noe bedre, å det konstruerte en mann fra NORGE, på veldig kort tid med samarbeid fra Ford, noe Martin viste hele rallyverden han klarte! P G.A dette kjøpte Ford Martin sin konstruksjon 🙂
hanj va proffessor på Ntnu Trondheim å. Veit ikke ka faget hete men hadd med girsystem osv og gjør. Hanj laga jo sin egen firhjulstrekk
👍😎💯
❤️
Tight competitions with the Finns💪. We 🇫🇮were calm and Martin was boiling the pot. On this day, he would be banned from competition.
Lyngås oversatt til lightning goose. Den var ny 😂
En ørefik hvis en blir kalt feig er HELT innafor. Schanche er vår Marty McFly.
Must have been horrible to stop the race cus you thought you saw the end flag >.< Best comment : you cant get a hug, cus you took your mums frame with you when you oppped out at birt so much beard you have :D
His father had the wrong uniform.😮
En kan bli litt rørt..
Neppe høyere iq enn skostørrelsen han bruker.
Det forteller vell meir om din iq 😄
😎👍💯
