Robin Plummer should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Metro 6R4

Over the years it has been developed in so many versions 2.3 biturbo 2.5 2.8 3.0 3.5 3.6 3.8!

Which has been the best comprimise? It has allways amazed me how the car has been able to keep up when it should be by rights be down on power by 100-150bhp+! (non turbo)

In actual fact i think Gollops quickest car was his standard normally aspirated version, but the only problem was he couldnt get it off the line quick enough......which is why he had to switch to the bi turbo car. If you watch the 1987 european championship or the 1988 grand prix just watch how quick the normally aspirated version was once it was rolling in clear air.

I took delivery of the 87 euro rounds 1 & 2 and 88 full review videos the other day but they are runied by a dodgy american commentry thatis really poor in content and uses words like "his hood has fallen off", "start over", "spun out", "his trunk is damaged" etc!. To cap it all it's so loud you can hardly hear the engines and he tells things are going to happen before they do. The 1989 one is much better!. I have had to do this due to the fact that I was 14 in 1987 and was into rallying and have had taken a long time to catch up!.

hehehe!! i Know, but you have to laugh!!!

I recommend the 5th and 6th rounds from France and Ireland. The french was class. It was on a circuit more suited to tank training ground.....in fact it was more like bangor racing. Features a great first corner accident with alamaki arnesson and Nitymaki. Gollop finishes second overall....which is a bonus. In fact i hadnt realised Gollop was such a dirty driver until i watched the 87 and 88 euro rallycross seasons......oh and 1986 british rallycross grand prix!
