I came across this today and it will blow you away
Can't begin to imagine the size of the gonads the driver & navigator must of had to strap themselves into the Group B cars
http://wwwautoblog.com and look for "video dirty old bastards-glory of group b "
I also found it on youtube as well
Hope you can find it
PS I found it on Google as well it's an absolute ball tearer :beer

Good site, been reading it for a while.

Oh and those european spectators imagine trying to race and driving blind through a crowd hoping they all get out of the way.....flucking kwankers.

there's a reason those guys were the best in the world eh

no guts no glory


also, first glimpse of awd starion at 3:55

yeah those stupid european spectators are the reason group B got banned. they think they're at pamplona or something...

if only the FIA had imposed spectator controls instead of banning group B, the AWD starion might have had time to kick some audi and lancia ass!

3:54 FTMFW!!

i thought group B was banned after the death of a driver?

The Henri Toivonen crash was in a list of reasons they canned Group B. Shame, it produced some monsters. I've driven one of the works Lancer EX Turbo Group B cars. It's a bit fruity. :D

which was preceded by a monster crash into a bunch of spectators in portugal i believe



biltel - was that the one featured in uk's retro car magazine alongside the airrikala starion?

My wife is at work so I can play it at full volume :D this is the real "Fast & Furious "and I can only aspire to have a fraction of the absolute commitment and skill of those drivers :) :beer
IMHO WRC drivers are better than drivers in any other form of motorsport

Yeh. I organised a rolling road day for us lot with Lancer Turbos and Starions. My mate owned the Lancer and was coming anyway, so I invited Danny with the Starion and rang Retro to cover the day. The rolling road day was covered in a seperate issue. We had a year where I got a Lancer turbo or Starion in every month. Do you have many issues of the old Retro Cars? I did an 8 page Starion buyers guide with one of mine and got the cover with my old Lancer Turbo.

They're the same as any pro, they just have to take off the limiter and endure a roll or two.

second on the driver death being group b death, I thought a lancia delta flew into a tree killing the driver and co driver, obviously the power being too much for the "best drivers in the world". If its there they are going to punch it. WHAT ABOUT THE TREES?!

Beautiful, THE best drivers in the world without doubt.

anyone got any pics of the group b lancer?

The real shame is that Group B got canned before starions were commonplace in it
