@Frittrich Might have to wait a while. MY HDD with loads of footage died straight after uploading this vid. So until i get a new one all new vids are off : ( . i'am pee'd off as i had loads of Group B footage on there from my last 5 vids and the master saves for them vids. So if they ever got deleted of youtubed that would be the video's lost forever.

The semi final was between Sport Quattro E2's. One has a dodgy gear box though so it is'nt a fair race. Which is why i did'nt upload it.

I guess people want to see that know i've mentioned it.

@UrbanArtifact No,but many of the group B cars ended up as rallygross cars when group B was banned.Especially the Peugeot and Ford RS 200. So banning group B was maybe a "blessing" for rallycross?

5 p.harness looks NASTY!!(the 5th "point" over the nuts) 2 Audidrivers used 2 manhandling a constantly understeering,frontengined monster in a midengined....monster:P Even if he lost here i think W.Rohrl (and Jean Ragnotti) is the greatest driving geniouses past and present.I think if Rohrl had gone 2 F1,he would have been the Schumacher of the 80`s.He can drive ANYTHING!FAST. Thank u 4 uploading Marv:) Great as allways!

Pardon the ignorance, but is this where rally cross came from?
