Group B - The Killer B's (HD)
Group B regulations made the construcion of the most powerful rally cars of all time possible, but they also made rallying very dangerous. After serious accidents, Group B got the nickname „The Killer B's". Driving these monsters required pure skill and heroism. This compilation focuses on the dark, but epic side of the series.

Mi piace ricordare 11° Presotto e Perissutti con la Ford Escort RS 1800 ufficiale che all' Elba del 1979 partiva davanti a me (navigatore era Max Sghedoni), furono primi del gruppo 1.
Da notare che navigatore di Fréquelin è Jean Todt.
Ricordo che nel 1981 eravamo al rally del Ciocco, facemmo poche curve con il Kadett GTE prima di rompere il radiatore per un dritto. Cinotto con la nuova Audi quattro, ancora meno, perchè un meccanico sfacciò la sua macchina mentre la portava al parco chiuso;.lo ricordo nella hall dell' albergo sconsolato mentre mi raccontava quello che era accaduto.
Il n° 22 Carlo capone con la Ritmo 75 abarth tre anni dopo è campione europeo rally con la Lancia 037, davanti a Henry Toivonen giunto secondo con il Porsche 911.
Mentre nel 1981 campione europeo era stato Vudafieri che dà il via ad un periodo di dominio italiano in europa che va dall' 81 all' 88. Vudafieri appunto poi negli anni successivi Tony, Biasion, Capone, Cerrato, Tabaton, Cerrato, Tabaton.
In 1981 the Rallye San Remo was again making history. The World Championship battle was very much between (Peugeot-)Talbot, Ford and Datsun, the drivers between Talbot driver Guy Fréquelin and Rothmans-Ford driver Ari Vatanen. When Fréquelin retired with a blown engine, Vatanen kept the drivers title exciting with an unnecessary crash from 2nd place.For Peugeot-Talbot Fréquelins blown engine was bad news, because Herni Toivonen in their 2nd car was well off form and complained about bad and unpredictable handling. Then to add to slipping title worries Toivonen had a huge crash, the doors wouldnt open any more, the drivers could only get in and out through the windscreen the car was nick named Banana but suddenly with that junk Toivonen started winning one stage after the other! Henri drove this banana into an unbelievable 2nd place. This was Peugeot-Talbots WRC title confirmed! This was the very moment when Automobiles Peugeot directors took Talbot Sport management aside and decided on a new sport department with Fréquelin navigator Jean Todt as team boss. The whole Peugeot 205 T16 groupB idea is born in San Remo 1981! San Remo 1981 is a classic for another reason. With Toivonen in a title winning 2nd in a Talbot Banana, the winner was an Audi Quattro. But while Audi team leader Hannu Mikkola only came 4th, it was Michèle Mouton to win the rally outright. Rallye San Remo 1981 was the first time ever a lady driver won a WRC event

Group B -- Tribute to the Golden Era
This is a tribute to the rallying of the middle 80's, when Group B monsters dominated the championship. There were no serious restrictions for the cars and no limitations for developing, the tracks were extremely dangerous and the crowd were as close to the cars as possible. As the result of rapid evolution the cars became as powerful as F1 cars and it was too much for human abilities to keep them on the nasty roads on the limit. In 1986, after several horrible crashes, FIA banned Group B rallying forever.
