I didn't, I'm sorry. The group B cars and the Porsche all did two demo runs (no overtaking allowed) and whilst they were demonstrating the commentator was giving some details of the cars, but I can't recall them saying much about the Porsche. Looks as though there is going to be a big push with retro rallycross in 2017, with quite a few cars being restored. These are the only other pictures I have of the car.    |

The Porsche belongs to Barry Stewart from Sussex and he runs it in the Retro Rallycross championship that runs alongside the British series. It is built on the chassis of the Rolf Nilsson car which won the very first British Rallycross Grand Prix at Brands Hatch in 1982.
While I'm here....was that actually Pat Doran and Will Gollop driving their original cars? I think I'd have shed a tear of happiness if I'd seen that in person!

This was always my favourite when Rallycross was at its most exciting and full of group B cars.  |

Yes Pat Doran was driving his RS200 and was even seen helping out on the gate. The commentator said that today was the first time that Will Gollop had seen the car since he had sold it, but I don't think he drove it. |

Great picture, do you know if it still has the twin turbo set up, at the top of its development it was producing 750hp.

That Porsche looks to have led a very tough life. Whilst I love all of the Group B machinery there, the 911 definitely has the most character.
