Ph1 Clio V6, Ph2 172
It a repost but it didn't stop me watching it! Most amazing sound . . . . . . . period lol
M3, Cup racer'd 182
That's far from a normal quattro though dude.
This monster is a 550bhp pikes peak
, if only i had the money to own one .
I f**king hate FIA for jumping into motorsport the way they did, I can always remember wanting to watch the group b rallies and BTCC back in the 80's/90's. "racing was racing and very exciting".
f**k YOU FIA!!!!

I was,and it was great.:approve:

The best days of the WRC are unfortunately long gone. My dad used to be involved with the 205 T16 service crews back in the 80's. If he were still around today he'd be so disappointed at the way it is today.
Best rallies to see these days are the historic ones.
I <3 Group B.

A little cynical maybe. Obviously the machinery was awesome but obviously the deaths were not.
Its an age thing. I think most of the young un's on here would love to see these types of cars back in action because they make LOUD NOISES are bodykitted (yo) and go very fast......
Those who know what that period was really like will agree it was a spectacle but it was bordering on insane. That many deaths in such a short space of time means things had to change i.e it had to be banned.

Agreed. Banned for a good reason at the time. Safety was seriously lagging behind car development. Not to mention crowd control at some rallies. Modern WRC cars are probably faster (at a guess) now than the GrpB monsters were. I'd love to see the sort of cars back but there is really no point at all now.
I think it's a little unfair to say comments about bringing it back etc are disrespectful. Anyone who's old enough to have seen group B when it was around will also remember the suicidal antics of the crowds watching it. It's unfair to blame the deaths on the machinery when IMO the bigger issue was the control of spectators from a venue and organiser perspective and the frankly crazy individuals who literally played chicken jumping out of the way when cars were literally about to hit them.

No,I mean in the Group B era.
I've had the pleasure of having my eardrums teased by these monster's.

I think it was mainly the crowd control that caused most of the deaths though,although some of the cars did a pretty good job too.

They found a finger once in one of the panels of the Opel Manta's when it came into the service halt.
