Happened to chance on this Group B Rally documentary showing on BBC Four the other night. Spine tingling, scary and tragic doesn't begin to describe it. Even today the drivers clearly are still entranced by the power, speed and handling of these fire breathing monsters. Amazing to think that Group B in the 1980's got more spectators than Formula 1. Highly recommended viewing :D

Currently showing on BBC iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01fcncc

For those that can't access the link there is a DVD available. Buy yourself an early Christmas present!

"Group B was pushing the envelope"

More like wrapping the envelope round a half brick and throwing through your window :lol:

Fantastic video
