Heady days of Group B rallycross with my all time favourite the RS200 - who was that, was is Rantonen (spelling) although he had a more multi wing kind of arrangement I recall...

Not so easy! Video is too short! Don’t remember the crash! Think it happened during the 1989 Belgian ERC round at the Mandescircuit (gone for good!) at Ingelmunster. Start of the 3rd qualifying heat with Vidar Sauthon (Escort Mk3), Terje Schie (Pug 205), Will Gollop (Metro 6R4), Jarmo Lähteenmäki (Delta S4) and in the two white Ford RS200 are Pekka Rantanen and Stig Blomqvist. Rantanen must be the one who rolls his RS200 as he had no time for the 3rd runs.

I've seen that crash with a video taken from the inside of the circuit (somewhere near the marshals post) - it's just as spectacular from there! I think the video you've posted shows the sequence of events better though.

The car that rolls is Thor Holm in the B-final. Didn't Blomqvist finish third in the A-final that day?

After watching the first clip again and the second for the first time I’m sure now it was the late Thor Holm. See the Glomma Papp sticker on the nose of the RS200!

However, AFAIR the rule of the prefixed starting numbers was just introduced in 1988 or 1989. |
