Best Racing inspired video?

"WRC is for boys. Group B was for men." - Juha Kankkunen (4 time world rally champion)


I have to say, I have watched this video like 50 times in a row, and still shivers every time.



For those who doesn't know what Group B is:

Group B was a non-restricted rally class in the mid 80's. It was around that time when they started using unrestricted boost on turbocharged engines and was developing 4x4 for racing. This led to cars having almost 600 horsepower while thundering along a dirt-road in the middle of the forest. At the end of the Group B era, some manufacturers was developing cars for if that had almost 800 horsepower. The series was cancelled due to the death-tolls. There was almost at-least 1 serious accident per race.

Famous cars: Audi Sportsquattro S1, Lancia 037 Stradale, Renault 5 Turbo Maxi, Peugeot 206 T16, Porsche 959, Ford RS200 and many more.



For those who doesn't know what rally us:

Rally is when you are going very fast in a "semi-production" car on thin roads, often dirt and snow covered roads/trails.

Some famous cars developed from it:

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Subaru WRX Sti

if you think you can drive you cant

Awesome video Blix, i used to always be amazed how disciplined the rally drivers were as they were racing very very quickly down narrow roads lined by hundreds of people.....just imagine how many people could get wiped out after a split second mistake.

True, there was sometimes serious accidents with both drivers and spectators killing over 50 peoples sometimes. I think in a interview with one of the drivers, they asked how they could drive with the spectators standing so close to the track. He replied that the only way is to see them as trees, otherwise he couldnt drive.

Yeeeaaahhhh! Sti-James!
