The Old Way of Rally! #audi #lancia #peugeot

Group B rally history: the most insane and lethal era of motorsport ever created. Group B began in 1982 and unleashed almost unrestricted power, putting cars like the rear-engine Porsche 959 and the front-engine Lada Riva in the same wild category. This Short dives into the brutal reality of four-wheel-drive turbo monsters such as the Lancia Delta S4, Audi Sport Quattro S1 and MG Metro 6R4, and the chaotic rallies where spectators stood shockingly close to cars flying by at 120 mph. It highlights the danger, the culture and the lack of safety that defined events like the 1986 Rally of Portugal and Joaquim Santos’ Ford RS200 crash. With little regulation on boost or power, Group B created unbelievable performance — sub-3-second 0–60 gravel missiles — but also tragic consequences. In just four years the class claimed over 11 lives, including four spectators in Portugal and more than 30 seriously injured. Drivers pushed through crowds and fumes, navigating stages that depended as much on bravery as on engineering. This video captures what rallying looked like before modern safety changed the sport forever. If you enjoy motorsport history and extreme rally engineering, stick around for more. #GroupB #rally #WRC #Porsche959 #LanciaDeltaS4 #AudiSportQuattro #FordRS200 #MGMetro6R4 #motorsport #shorts
