I remember watching this races when I was a kid and I always wanted to become a Rally Racer. I just become an engineer but I'm not mad at all because I still love to watch all the rally races.
I'm lucky, I lived that era to the full.. An era where electronics only served to turn on the headlights, where cars easily reached more than 800hp without assistance and were dirty, hard to drive, dangerous.. An era where safety it was just a suggestion and we were speeding at more than 200km per hour on narrow, dirt roads, with non-existent grip, in the middle of two rows of crowds in the center of the track... An era where the drivers, before getting into the car, calmly a shot of whiskey, a cigarette and a few passionate kisses to the girl on duty.. A time where death was seen as a traveling companion.. A time of great clashes between car manufacturers with blows of power, turbos and everything needed to make driving the car faster and faster.. The golden era of Group B was something magical, unreal, dangerous and wonderful.. And it will never come back... What a shame...
Imagino o nível de adrenalina dos pilotos, muito insano. Momentos incríveis. Já os espectadores... que povo maluco 😶😶, como tinham coragem de ficar na frente de uma máquina voando!? A chance de morrer é quase certa, como aconteceu pra os 4 no acidente.
actually, most rally car drivers do what alot of atv riders call "power shifting" meaning, not touching the clutch. also many transmissions had semi automatic conversions, and up down shifting like a dirt bike or atv. im not saying all, and not saying everyone, but most do power shifting. figured id throw this in here. im sure not ALL engines are happy with "power shifting" its usually, getting into high RPM and then just jamming it to next gear without touching the clutch as to not waste time. . .. use to do it on my 2-strokes constantly without fail. itll groove up your clutch sure. but is there any other actual way ? chime in, if someone ever road or drove something race worthy.

Over the shoulder shots look just like a video game. But the blood and smoke are very real. Well done finding all this footage, I’ve never seen it before.
