As you may have spotted, I've added some of my favourite YouTube videos to the main forum view -

Every week I want to change these based on videos recommended by you - so if you discover any cool videos post them up and I'll add them to the side bar with a 'recommended by ...' comment at the beginning of every week.

I've kicked things off with a great Starlet Cup video and Kris Meeke piloting a 6R4 in the Rally of Ireland.

Cheers

Any suggestions for next week?

Something a bit different from the norm . .



I always enjoy this as I lived in Edinburgh up till 16yrs ago, lots of familier sights in it for me

Couple of oldies for you.

[Retro Richard]

For those who dont know the first three are all RCC members.

Haha my autotest lap in the mighty Metro GTA! I think that's still the slowest autotest recorded at Santa Pod! http://retroshow.co.uk/autotest.php

[ultimatecombination]

Some retro (ish...for my age anyway) motorsport faves...





...cant beat a good bit of btcc

[Christian]

Great videos! I remember spending many'a weekend at BTCC events back in the 1990s when BMW were competing.

[Christian]

I've selected two new videos for this week based on your recommendations -

First, one of Ultimatecombination's excellent early 90's BTCC videos, showing the infamous 'clash/crash' between John Cleland and Steve Soper at the final round of the 1992 BTC Championship:



Steve Soper really was the nuts.

And Retro Richard's brilliant video of Malcolm Paris autotesting his Reliant Scimitar at the 2007 Retro Show (the v8 soundtrack won it for me!):

[vauxsenb]

Lots of Imp action and a Rapide' Skoda (pardon the pun)

[Christian]

Great video. I wish they still did something like special saloons these days, it must have been such a spectacle.

[Christian]

This week I've selected two new videos again -

Vauxsenb's great Special Saloons recommendation:



and one of my personal favourites (with lots of proper drifting!)

[cranwellpoacher]

How about a Scirocco (+ trailer) that went on a 9 and a half day 4000 mile trek across Europe for charity ?



Shame we ran out of cash before we got to our destination of Morocco...never mind, the car performed faultlessly and we only finished 17 miles away from our goal!......stopped due to lack of funds for the crossing (£400)!.

[vauxsenb]

a rather quick Audi . . .

[Christian]

A bit of a rallying theme this week -

The full 'proper' Safari rally of 1985 with lots of Group B action -



More information here: http://www.motorspor...n-king-at-last/

And a 60s, 70s and 80s rallying compilation -

[Christian]

A 6R4 theme this week following Motorsport Retro's brilliant 6R4 tribute: http://www.motorspor...s-mg-metro-6r4/

[Christian]

Just one video this week, funny old footage of Jimmy “The Flying Greek” Koufos, as he attempts to jump his 5.5 ton bus over 20 motorcycles as part of the pre show hype at a NASCAR Busch race in 1980. Check out the size of the roll cage!
