Mirrorman 248 Posted April 11, 2015 More Group B from the era. Including Audi, Lancia, Renault, Porsche, Opal Manta, Pugs and others. Lunatic (read GREAT) drivers, in MONSTER cars, with crazy spectators = Group B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plopes 138 Posted April 11, 2015 I am a massive Group B fan. Those cars were monsters and the drivers absolute rally hero's. As a racer myself, motorsport has become too safe and ruled by too many rules. With Group B the builders went wild with creative idea's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plopes 138 Posted April 11, 2015 Yes Pteppic, We can only dream of how the Group S class would evolve... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right .. I'd say Subaru would be making a beast very much along those lines. A bit modern, but I do like it btw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it was tested in secret. Yes, if only the power that were had left it to run it's own course we would have had some more iconic rally cars to lust after. Love that red based Martini marking on the Lancia too. I've seen a LeMans car done in black based Martini as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
