Bring back the RAC and the group B supercars. You cant beat the sound of them coming through a wood or a welsh mountain.

Toivonen and S4 Lancia perfect.

How can the commentator say the 6R4 was ugly?? It was Miss World compared to the Lancia. OK, not as fast but a far better looking car and sounded better in my opinion. The Metro lasted quite a few years longer in competion than the SD4.

[SilverSurfer102]

how many stages??? 65 over 5 days !

This is crazy, nowadays its like 19 stages over 2-3 days.

I love group b rally.

Tony Pond was fighting a cold during that rally, as were most of us marshals. I was sat in a VW camper van in the Forest of Ae in -10 degree C temps. Modern rallying is nothing like it was then, and I think we lost a lot when they started reducing the length of the rallies :(

@Ricko301 Too bad it was Vatanen's team principle Jean Todt that won FIA presidency, modern rally cars are not faster than groub B, tires have just come that far. why ban turbo? turbo's dont make driving any easier because boost at low rpm's is sometimes unpredictable though in modern times it isn't anymore. if anything they should ban traction control and ABS and stability management.

RAC Rally epic 65 stages spread over 5 days awesome excellent footage proper rallying this

[amidunet]

sure ! hoepfully, eifel rally does exist !!!

[Ricko301]

I hope Ari Vatanen takes over Max Mosley and becomes the new president of FIA as its rumoured he is ! Modern Rally cars are faster than group B but only because of technology the stage times set by these monsters have been beaten but only in the last 10 years . . Modern rallying is soooo boring 2 watch now i cant wait till active diffs and turbos are ban because the cars will sound awsome and be more exciting to watch the cars will need to be driven by the driver not the brain of the car .

[WELSHYM249]

I love the 6r4 it sounds amazing

[laikros]

Metro-the most skill required car in the B group,respect4the driver back then
