This is by far the best video on whole youtube, period. All this new and unbelievable footage, placed so perfectly together that far exceedes any kind of "compilation". Not to take away anything from those videos, but this just captures the real, nonschalant spirit of grB. But I have one question, I hope some of you will have an answer. I was wondering what was the last stage that remained the fastest from group b era, and with what car? Nowhere did I managed to stumble upon a solid answer, and is valuable info. Bye all :)
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar and your comment shall be pinned at the top for all to see!! Too answer your question. Finland is often described as the fastest rally in the world championship - and rightly so. However, the fastest average speed in an individual special stage was recorded in 1983 in Argentina. It took Stig Blomqvist just 25 minutes 48 seconds to complete the 81.5 kilometres of the ‘Fray Louis Beltran-Valle Azul’ special stage. That’s equivalent to an average speed of 189.53 km/h! That’s around 30 km/h below the potential top speed of his Audi quattro. The most fascinating thing of all is that Blomqvist didn’t even inspect the special stage beforehand. Due to lack of time, he drove using the notes he borrowed from his team colleague Hannu Mikkola. I think the fastest Group B car when it came down to just top speed was the Toyota Celica TCT when it did the Safari and Ivory coast's rallys. The stages are do long you could afford to have top speed over acceleration.
Agreed somehow you have constructed the video in a way that captures the era. Ff to minute 14 (don't you dare lol) and catch Marku Allen saying go like hell! turn up volume to max ....and hang on..
If you are talking about the era and not the rallys itself, I'd say that the Hillclimb of Pikes Peak in the USA was the last action of those awesome cars. Walter Röhrl drove up that "hill" in 10.47.08 minutes. The whole road is paved now and the record time up to date is 7:57,148 minutes. To me a legendary record and a car that was a firespitting monster driven on the brink of death by true geniuses. This video is in German but you can see the Audio S1 quattro E2 and a Peugeot in action pumping up to the moutain top. th-cam.com/video/d8nKhhMJtvc/w-d-xo.html
"Too pure to last on this earth." And then I rolled my Quattro 15 times into a crowd of people, injuring 30 and killing myself, my co-driver, and 2 spectators. I miss Group B but I don't miss the insane danger that emanated around it.
The Group B 1986 lineup was absolutely legendary. Such a variety of cars. But what makes Group B truly special is what it COULD have been. Had Group B lasted another year before the events that claimed it took place, not only would the Ford RS200 build more of a name for itself, but Toyota would've entered the 222D, Porsche the 959, Peugeot the 405, Audi and Ferrari were running new prototypes, and the Mazda RX-7 rotary would've been further tweaked as well.
Peugeot had already done enough work for a third evolution of its T16 and the Delta S4 would have had a year under its belt and the reliability problems Ironed out. 1987 would have been a great year.
Andersng1 I’m pretty sure the wrc fiesta has abs, traction control, active diffs, paddle gears, most likely active damper control also. Toys to these beasts in comparison
@@Diesel8290 No, modern rally cars have surprisingly little technology in them, but it wasn't always like that. Up until the mid 2000's WRC cars had few regulations regarding high-tech driving aids. Most cars had ABS, TC, active diffs and active dampers etc. From 2010 up until 2015 Rally cars were mostly mechanical. Since then a few changes in the rules has allowed certain things such as active center-differential and electronic gear shifting (paddle shift).
There's a clip of a guy just barely hiding behind a tree before otherwise being smashed in the face with the undercarriage of a rolling group B car. Look it up. Terrifying as Fuck

the best rallying of all time. I still remember smell of the exhaust gasses every time b group car drove by on full throttle. I was a small kid that time but those talented drivers (slightly insane as well) made a huge impact on my life. Thank you B group psychopaths ;) Today Me and my dad like to take our Lancia delta integralle HF for a drive an reminisce times when those cars driven by those full of courage guys were something beautiful.
Can you fucking imagine flying (sometimes literally) down a gravel road in a car with 500 horsepower, flat out, with another person, who’s life is completely in your hands, barking pacenotes, while people are running across the the road and line both sides of it. Brave souls, indeed. *RESPECT*
God, I got goosebumps watching this. I'm American, and nobody over here has ever heard of Group B, much less rally racing as a whole. I nearly had to go for some "me time" every time the 037 or the Delta poured on the sauce through a corner. It was great to see Walter Rohrl on camera too, as I have nothing but respect for the man. To hell with Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty. Rorhl to me is the greatest of drivers, and was a very modest man. I'm also unusual here, as I am obviously a HUGE Lancia fan. I'd have an 037 or Delta Integrale over a Ferrari any day of the week.

I guess my daily driver is a WRX because of rallying
I've always been a road/track type of guy that has always been around track race cars, like my fathers drag car at the track. I didn't know rally was my passion until I went on a drive with my father (me driving) in our rhino ATV (fucking high as shit but whatever) on a very narrow trail with sand/mud/water/dirt/and rocks. I wanted to see what it was like going fast and doing four-wheel drifts off road at high speeds with jumps and just crazy scenario in general, so I floored it (cringe, didn't know another way of explaining it) the jumps and drops and satisfying controlled slides is what got me most, and got me wondering about the rally scene and ended up here. Thank you for making this video.
I bet they are not smooth at all when going slow, but what race car is? Really love the footage where they show the crews working on the cars between the stages. Again, great video!!
No matter how many times I hear it, that Audi 5 cylinder sound still gets me every time!! Love it!

This is awesome. We've all seen all kind of videos showing these monsters going maximum attack, but those "in-between" scenes are pure gold. All that service area footage. Love it.
Great compilation of sights and sounds of Group B. But surely tribute to the era can't be complete without at least a few glimpses of the beautiful and rapid Michelle Muton, without doubt the best female driver the world will ever know..
C98KOG (the 6R4 seen within the first 2 minutes) is still alive. Registered as SORN. Nice to know it still exists somewhere, hopefully in someone's cherished collection.
@@ILeelL Horrifically accurate, considering the "great again" is citing an era in which safety was a terrible joke and not an actual priority in any way. Also, modern WRC is a million times faster than Group B ever could be (for one, drivers don't spend that much time worrying about staying straight and not killing anyone), and the cars themselves probably share as much with their road-going counterparts as the Group B monstrosities did (safety aside, being a road car is kinda contrary to what a race car is).
I'm like a SMACK HEAD (drug addict)! I keep coming back for more, love this stuff.if your in your 40's and loved group b then you are very fortunate to have witnessed a once in a lifetime experience. Brilliant video!!!!
too bad many came too late to the game. would have loved to see championship battle between S4, T16 and RS200. Don't think S1 was on right track. Even Audi engineers now dare to admit this today
Just found this post. Thank you so much a brilliant piece of work that brings back so many awesome memories of the RAC rally and the group B’s. I’ve spent many nights and days in Kielder setting up and marshalling stages for these guys and they were some of the best times. Top highlights have to be Malcom Wilson testing one of the first RS2000 on the Centurion rally, sitting on Michelle Moutons knee while doing time checks after a kielder stage and seeing Tony Pond putting the 6R4 through a 90 left on sheet ice in the middle of the night in Griezdale ..oh and never forget the sound of all those engines - and there is so much more to remember. The 80’s and early 90’s were the real. Glory days of rallying
Marvdogger2 I’m a bit hazy on dates but am sure you are right. I also seem to think there were other years they double looped Kielder as I can remember at least once spending two nights sleeping in the car on stage. Happy days which are now sadly long gone
walther wrohl complaining of audis understeer when he hits the gas in a corner.priceless, feels like a flat front tyre.that shows how good these drivers are,to overcome many shortcomings of group b cars
Awesome material as always, love the old and still raw rally-footage, especially group B; still can't get enough of it and your vids are still the best after all those years !
CamoDrako Yup Jean Todt was a rally co driver up until 1980 and then he became the head of Peugeots Rally team into the mid 90s and then he ran Ferraris F1 team.
@@arjanpetersen yes BUT think if the group-B regulations were in effect today.. people don't understand that.. i was there watching Rally Finland '86 and '87.. the drop was like unbelievable.. like Markku Alen said, the cars felt there was no engine at all.. of course development happens over the years and cars get faster..
Fantastic - this whole piece epitomised group B magnificently and took me right back to when I was stood in service parks, at scrutineering and by the side of the stages in 1985! Thankyou!
Really high quality video, thanks for putting in the effort to get all of this footage and present it in an accessible way, it is very much appreciated.
Close you're eyes Listen to the sounds, no stupid music to spoil the real music that comes from the car's themselves, Enough to give you WET dream's, If these thunderous sound were on a quiz show and you couldn't even see each car. You could still identify each one as they are so unique, OH! Love this video so much I coming back, GROUP B Don't cry because it's over SMILE because it HAPPENED.
I've been doing it a while now!! I think since 2005, Group B Crazy fans was 2007 but that no longer available to watch anymore, blocked in over 250 countries by youtube.
100% NO MUSIC ?,the reason is you don't need it, it's these insane machines that create it. Great video that shows today's rally fan's what a real rally car is,at 48yrs of age I could watch this stuff all day,OH! I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE (DEAR GOD) ARI IN HIS MANTA 400 MANX RALLY. No electronic assistant's apart from the one in the ignition,anyway don't cry because it's over,(SMILE because it happened.
This is the best video, I have ever seen of rallying, of Group B, and on You Tube. I was born long after the time of this legends. But the way, you made the composition of the footage, leaving it with the original sound, no music and the sequence, makes you feel like you are there, thank you very much. I really enjoyed, I believe it is the best tribute ever made.
I loved this video. It really captures the essence of what group B was and also no annoying music, just the sweet yet furious sound of some of the best engines ever created. Thank you very much for this.
Happy New Year Marv! Thanks for this beautiful tribute. I’ve never seen a channel with such dedication to a single moment of motorsport, and I deeply thank you for showing us all the artform of Group B rally.
Splitting from the racers. I was particularly impressed at the mechanic's having to perform such delicate work in sometimes, such short time, in sometimes such unfavourable condition's.
I was flagging for re-introduction of Group-B so enthusiasticly in my last comment, that I forgot the thank you for this awesome clip.. and the Group B sound clip as well! Awesome stuff, I'm going to watch these several times over, enjoying the engine music.

Not only are you absolutely correct on that point, but I would argue any day that it is the GREATEST car ever made. It just is.
I know different eras but...i love the Volkswagen Polo R so much.
I would have to disagree I like the Lancia 037 or maybe the ‘84 Audi Quattro
ErikGPL the 037 is the sexiest imo
Metro my fav but that lancia is amazing
Für mich war (ist) Walter Röhrl der beste Fahrer unserer Zeit.
This is the best video, I have ever seen of rallying, of Group B, and on You Tube. I was born long after the time of this legends. But the way, you made the composition of the footage, leaving it with the original sound, no music and the sequence, makes you feel like you are there, thank you very much. I really enjoyed, I believe it is the best tribute ever made.
2 things killed group b
-placing spectators feet from 600 hp uncontrollable beasts
-Dangerous places in which races were held
This video makes me feel some type of way... absolutely amazing.
All these cars are fantastic.
The best way to start the new year! Thank you Marv and Happy New Year to you!
Absolutely brilliant footage, thank you!
I loved this video. It really captures the essence of what group B was and also no annoying music, just the sweet yet furious sound of some of the best engines ever created.
Thank you very much for this.
Possibly the best rally video on here. Fantastic work and thank you
Phenomenal footage both in historical importance and emotion.
this is the best compilation of group b rally i have ever seen.
thank you so much.
Happy New Year Marv! Thanks for this beautiful tribute. I’ve never seen a channel with such dedication to a single moment of motorsport, and I deeply thank you for showing us all the artform of Group B rally.
Эх!
Какие были автомобили!
А какими отважными были гонщики!
The best compilation I've seen so far...well done!
i watch this when i'm having a bad day, it's just sort of relaxing in a weird way, thank you for posting this!
Splitting from the racers. I was particularly impressed at the mechanic's having to perform such delicate work in sometimes, such short time, in sometimes such unfavourable condition's.
I wish group b was still a thing, just thinking about the hamoligation cars makes me drool.
I was flagging for re-introduction of Group-B so enthusiasticly in my last comment, that I forgot the thank you for this awesome clip.. and the Group B sound clip as well! Awesome stuff, I'm going to watch these several times over, enjoying the engine music.
Rally Official in the Beginning of the 1980s: Lets take a fat Engine with enough Power to pull a Truck, put it into tiny Cars, and use it to fly over Gravel!
All Rally Drivers: Ok lets go.
That was a surprisingly good video, one of the best I've seen. More please !
thanks sir.

Thanks Marv for a great video ! For us rally enthusiasts, the sound of those spectacular Group B cars is music to our ears !!

6:05 is like releasing a demon from hell lol
Only in the early 80s you could encounter a group B competition car in the traffic of your home town. Unbelievable.
Thanks Marv, we starter out the year!!!!
No music, pure motorsport, true legends.. best video i´ve seen on TH-cam, thanks Marvdogger2 !
If only everybody was as nice as you sir.
The most complete Group B video by far! Very rare footage! Sweet Mama!
Special GIFT for US from YOU Marv at the start of 2018. Thank You, and Happy New Year. Respect.
Excelente no me canso de ver este video larga vida sl legendario grupo b
This should be considered under ASMR!
Yesss excellent! This is the best place for group B rally videos!
best video of group b on you tube so far.....
Love it. Wish more vids had no music. Makes it a true great documentary 👍
Rally nowdays is so incredibly boring compared to the mid 80's...
Great video.
Just discovered this and this channel. Great stuff!!
Espectacular video!!!!!!!
So cute how Walter Röhrl starts to answere the German interviewer in English after a few words realizing what he's doing :D
Its just amazing how close the fans are getting to the action and how hard the drivers are driving in spite of all this chaos.
I just downloaded a vid of me driving a lancia 038 on dirt rally and then I came across this vid, absolutely brilliant, thank you for this ;)
Welshboyuk76 I do like Dirt. Best game for the Group B cars.
Marvdogger2 it sure is, oh and also I have LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED ;)
"no music" made me click, I wasn't disappointed 😁
Love group b wish they could bring it back.
