Group B - Finally Getting Beat
[ October 9th, 2008 ] By: Charles Smith Posted in » Ramblings
Group B, introduced in 1982, was considered “Formula 1 cars with mudflaps” (Jeremy Clarkson). They are the most memorable rally cars in existance. This includes the iconic Audi Quattro, which resulted in Audi being banned by the FIA for an unfair advantage with the Quattro AWD system.
They were known for their extreme power and monsterish sound, but before Group B was stopped (for killing too many people, it was really that dangerous) record times were set on stages. Some of those stages are still run today. However, only up until a few years ago did modern rally cars start beating the times set in the early to mid 80s.
So in respect of Group B here is an amazing highlights video to sum up some of what Group B gave to the rally world:
