In no way, shape or form was this the "Best of Group B". These were, for the most part, competing in a classic rally many years after Group B had been banned, and NOT going full send. At the height of Group B, the drivers were going flat out through a sea of spectators, in all weathers and times of day. Sun, rain, snow, ice and fog - there were no limits. You need to find a more contemporary video to see just how good these drivers were. Try this one, as it explains what it was all about with some spectacular footage from the time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pPk90JZqWM8.html

Walter Röhrl was one of the best Group B pilots back in the 80´s

In Europe lot of high-end performance cars are marketed as Rally. Part of the rules is that the manufacturers must produce and sell a certain number of these cars to be allowed to race them. Rally has done a lot for safety, breaking and especially suspension.

Walter Röhr is very popular. He is now 76 years old and still drives the Nürburgring sometimes, mostly to take reporters with him and scare them. Quotes from him include: “Good drivers have fly residue on their side windows.” “I won’t wear a helmet for anything over 8 minutes on the Nordschleife (Nürburgring)!” “When accelerating, the tears of emotion must flow horizontally towards the ear.” “A car is only fast enough when you stand in front of it in the morning and you are afraid to unlock it.” “If you see the tree you're driving into, you're understeering. If you just hear it, you're oversteering." “Take out the roll bar for me! I want to test Porsche, but I don’t want to drive on the roof!”

This was a professionalprofessional race. The people can stand really close. That's part of the excitement. There is a passenger reading notes telling him what's coming up like turns jumps gravel

You need to watch " Group B: When Rallying Got TOO FAST " for a better understanding, it's mental, there were a (french) woman competing men (Michèle Mouton), work in Audi Quattro. Even for drivers, Group B was too dangerous (and deadly).

the stages are closed for trafic during the race (mind you that doesn't mean you can not run into somebody 😄) and they go trough forests, towns, villages, at night, in rain, snow, or all together combined 😋

Sadly this was after Group B was abandoned. There are some crazy videos out there. Many of the greats came from Northern Europe: Finland, Norway. We had some decent ones here in the UK. The late, great Colin McRae was a monster.

Right car models: 2:38 Lancia Rally 037 3:32 Peugeot 205 T16 (fun fact, while it is a hatchback the engine is in the middle) 3:44 Lancia Delta S4 (fun fact, the engine is also in the middle and it is both turbocharged and supercharged at the same time making it have around 480-500 horsepower) 3:56 Lancia Stratos 5:00 Audi Quattro group B (also known as the "urquattro" or original quattro) 5:36 Renault 5 Turbo (more of these hatchbacks with the engine moved to the middle) 5:48 MG Metro 6R4 (the reason why so many hatchbacks in group B had the engine in the middle was weight distribution, but a problem that occured is that these cars became very twitchy due to having very short wheelbases) 6:56 Renault 5 Turbo 2 9:06 again that is a Lancia Stratos but this time with its original and most famous livery (atleast I think its the most famous)

9:09 that is a Lancia Stratos, one of the most legendary Italian Group A rally cars ever made. It sounds like a Ferrari because it was powered by a Ferrari 2.5L Dino V6 that put out about 230 HP. It was styled by Bertone (famous design studio) and made by Lancia, and they are extremely capable little rally rockets

Turbo best for straight line, super charger can charge up without natural build up. Your knowledge and interest for racing is infective and you're way better than 90% of the men reacting to rally sports.

Group B was a class in rally, but it was banned long ago for being too dangerous. What you just watched was group B cars being driven in modern times and as a result rather safely because these are all priceless legacy cars at this point. Not the best video to see a rally spectacle or to see what group B was all about and what made it so dangerous.

9:41 driver and navigator ... the navigator reads to the rider what curves await him how sharp they are plus other instructions that allow him to ride so fast

The sound on the Audi is turbo sound

The Group b rally era took place between 1982-1986 and was a class of rally cars where some of the cars reached 550 bhp at less than 2300 lbs during the last 2 years. Some of the cars really took advantage of the few rules that existed at the time, Wide body kits, turbos, superchargers 4wd, mid engines and big wings light weight materials where all allowed and only 200 cars where needed to be produced compared to other classes that had to produce many more than that. Accidents happened more and more because of the speed of the cars and the lack of crowd control so they had to ban them in 1986. That Audi doesnt have a supercharger, its a turbo.

As many others commented already: most of these clips ain't from Group B Era, which were the 80's. The crazy times of rally. The "supercharger" is actually the blow-off from the turbocharger. I very well may be incorrect but i think that at least one Group B car had turbo and supercharger, but i may misremember. Anyway. The "Ferrari" is a legend in rally racing: the Lancia Stratos. But I gotta say that my personal favourite Group B car is the Lancia Delta Integrale S4. And since these cars are all quite "old" they weren't driven at their maximum, because no one wants to risk breaking them for real. Also: usually the driver and the co-driver drive the down the stage before the actual race and the driver gives the co-driver the input about which infos he wants to have where and when. so the stage-infos actually come from the drivers themselves, afaik.

This was a show race 30 years after the end of group B. Watch the old videos

The little stutuu noise is from a turbocharger that serve around the same purpose then a supercharger but differently

5:30 you always need more power to exit the corners. The turbo gives you that, The noise is the waste gate from the turbo. 7:20 You now it a Renault LeCar ('80 in USA). In EU Renault 5

Imagine that in the 80s , some pilots says that they found fingers and toes in their car. Safety at this period was stupid because of the speed of these cars .

Yay! You got round to Group B! It was absolutely mental……. In a great way.

Couple of insightful, thoughtful and even beautiful videos about rallying made by Antti Kalhola: "Rally: The Great Adventure" and "Ari Vatanen - The Poet of Rallying". Let's say these are rally pit stops: "Rallying In Finland, Fast Rally Fans Part 1". Rally clips with different car brands: "Rallying In Finland 2021 By JPeltsi". If you want to freak yourself out: "Crazy Finns Crashing - with pure crashing sounds".

Favour you should watch the best in car footage from rally races and that will give you a good idea of how fast and skilled these drivers are

5:00 in group B, most of the cars had turbocharged engines. although there were also addictive designs like the LANCIA DELTA S4, which had an engine with both a turbine and a supercharger.

The white car at 7.08 was the Renault 5 turbo. The regular base model was sold in the USA as the Renault Lê Car for a short time.

The wistling sound you hear is the waste gate to the turbo charger, opening and letting out the excess boost.

They run turbos on rally cars, but for a good reason. Most rally stages are high altitude locations, and with high altitude you have less oxygen in the air. The turbos compress as much air as it can and force it in the engine. It makes up the power loss for being in high altitude.

The wedge shaped one was a Lancia Stratos

6:50 That is a Renault 5 Maxi Turbo. In Spain we used to call it "Culo Gordo" (Fat Ass), a well known widowmaker. It was like a coffin with wheels...

This video you need to see... Group B:The Race That Killed Its Fans In this video you get facts about group b rally and here you can see a little more real rally group b action how crazy it was with spectators... Group B: When Rallying Got TOO FAST

There are always 2 in the car, the driver and the navigator that tell him all the upcoming corners and abstocals.

This is from some later show event because its not full tilt racing by far. You must go back to when they competed for real and your hart will go spinning 😂😂

The whistling popping sound is a turbo charger the noise is caused from the excess air pressure being vented through a device called a Watergate and dump valve Porsche rallied in this era with a car called the 959the ferrari looking car is a lancia Stratos

You need to check it This Is Rally series on RU-vid. It includes everything from crashes, big saves, huge jumps and all the crazy moments. This series really shows what rally is all about. And thay audi sound is because of turbo. These cars produced crazy hp out of the engines. There were even rumors that lancia could produce around 750hp at max potential. And talking about roll cages. They are required and a car can not enter the race without it. In the past companies tried to keep the cars as light as possible so they inserted cardboard roll cages and made it looks like metal. Not exactly safe.

World Rally Championship is very popular in the World. I am not sure did F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen took part of WRC. Thank you for nice video.

The white watchback its a Renault 5 Maxi Turbo. Very good video, cheers from Argentina

14:22 it6´s an PEUGEOT 206 T16(and have a road-use version the 205 T16 looks similar but for the crowd can drive and carry friends and groceries)

Oh believe me. A LOT of people got hurt in rally events. Especially in Group B, which was I think why it got canceled.

Another thing, you may be interested in, the isle of man tt. The oldest and most exciting motorsport event in Europe. I recommend "Mark Higgins POV Isle Of Man TT Run In 2016 Subaru WRX STI", withe the commentary of the driver. Very interesting and insane driving skills.

10:39... Naw, everythings shut down and the town or where it's being held is notified, it's all planned out and saftey teams are on standby...

Group B was a special thing. They had very strong and light cars. It was kind of dangerous. And eventually it was closed.

This was just a Rally showcase, vintage cars being driven fast (well some of them) but not even close to the real thing back in the day

That slide they do. It's actually known as the Scandinavian flick

Easy connection for you to connect rally to f1, Carlos Sainz is a double world rally champion, his son is driving f1 today, Carlos sainz jr

Carlos Sainz jnr is in F1 right now (Ferrari) and his Dad was a very very successful Rally driver

Rally is more technical than you think. The one in the passenger seat must say, around 10 seconds before the what corner, if there’s a jump, any water. Imagine reading it all out whilst being thrown around.

As a person who was involved in this sport you should know a few things: 1. Roads are closed and controlled by marshalls. 2. The navigator sits in the second seat and has a route book that lists all the corners and road conditions that he reads to the driver over an intercom. 3. The cars have roll cages for safety for the occupants and also strengthen the body.

10:40 les routes sont fermées à la circulation, donc pas de bus sur le tracé et chaque zone de l'étape est encadrée par des agents de course ^^

The audi's are turbocharged, not supercharged. btw. the little car you like is a renault 5 turbo 2, the normal version of the renault 5 was sold in the us as AMC "le car" around 1976. btw2. the roads where a rally takes place are closed for public during the event so the drivers should not encounter any traffic.

They rent their houses to fans. The famuly and kids are on holiday whle the rally goes on haha😂

On most performance cars it’s not the exhaust that makes the noise it’s the engine

I don't think this is a real Groupe B video. The quality of the recording, the drivers prestation, the cars... seems something like our days festival or celebration.

the fluttering you hear is the blow-off valve. also that white and yellow audi has the best sounding engine ever :P, in my opinion atleast :D

If you want to see crazy people on rally you must see old portugal stages

5:01 not a supercharger, but the Audi Quattro S1 turbo😅

The Audi does not have a supercharger, but a "turbo" charger. and European cars didn't use a supercharger, only a turbo :P

The blue and white one is a metro 6r4

Rally usualy going on public roads. Of course it is closed for event. And yes co-driver is telling where and how to go with all jumps and degrees of turns. One co-drivers mistace can be fatal.

The old Mitsubishi is a -renault 5 gt turbo

You should look out for Michelle Mouton's story during group B era.

At 12:45 is a british MG Metro 6R4 😊

U should watch like a real "group b tribute" its gonna be video quality from the 80's maybe but that video doesnt show all the crazyness on that category. Group B u didnt have power limitations that audi was the first awd rally car and was putting like 600bhp or more Spectators were the main cause of the ending of the group. All started here in Portugal when an aciddent of Joaquim Santos killed 3 and injured dozens with a ford rs200 , ending with toivonen fatal crash (falling on a cliff and exploding) Greetings from Portugal, known for the crazyest rally fans 😊

Favor, this was not a group B rally, it looked more like was a history rally with group B cars.... you should check THE REAL group B videos (like Group b; when rally got too fast, where the history of it is thoroughly explained), where you can see the TRUE MADNESS ... and rally is true driving art... they basically "drive blind", based on the notes given by the co-driver to the driver while they are on the go! they have just one "go over" the each stage (called reece), usually in the normal everyday traffic, where they can write down notes about each corner, bumps, jumps and hazards that await them...

The other one you thought was a Ferrari is actually a Lancia stratos

you need to see the actual group B races from the 80's, not these classic races, where they race historic collector cars.

5:32 italias flag and its the turbo on that audi

it isn't supercharger system but TURBO!

15:51 if he would have taken his foot of the throttle the car would have swung in the opposite direction and directly into the wall

The group B is from the past 80s. They race on closed roads, so there are no kids.

If tou like rally videos, you must see Ari Vatanen, Colin McRae, Jean Ragnotti, Michèle Mouton... classics😉

Someone send her best videos from European Hill-Climb Championship Motorcycles and Cars.

That drift is nothing for them,for you it's looks hard but honestly they can do it with eyes closed

By the way when u say the Audi has a super charger it’s not a supercharger it’s a turbo

I think you should watch the Lee Mann 24 hour road race in France non stop almost several changes of driver only 2 l believe

7:06 Its a Renault R5 Maxi

The flag was Italian as it was Red not Orange.

9:10 Lancia Stratos ^^

..these are mostly collection cars..so, some careful driving is done..

Find the film “too fast to race”

9:10 I think is Lancia Stratos

This is not, by far, the most impressive group B rally video. Group B was a crazy category, made by rally federation to attract manufacturer that was quite reluctant to join the rally show due to certain rules. Consequently, group B had more or less one rule: nothing or almost norhing is forbidden what led to reckless designs with very small car powered by huge power. The car you oike the shape Renault 5 or Le Car in USA. In France, it was a small popular model. The result was there were several pilots killed and some dramatic acccidents within the crowd. The sound you hear from the Audi is the turbocharger and not asupercharger, it's actually the waste gate used to release pressure excess and prevent damaging the engine

Your reaction is interesting. Sadly no more Group B. On the Audi's the sound your hearing is the waste gate keeping the turbo charger up to speed instant boost. 12.34 MG Metro 6r4 This was exhibition not full on racing.

Chill up! These clips are from historical rally. The safety rules are much higher than in the 80's. You don't see people on the side of the road. They are behind safety fences. And the road are closed during the competition. Generally, when a car is approaching, an official uses a siren and a flag to let people know it's time to get cautious of what's going on.

a piece of advice... put the video you are watching at the top of your image... I don't speak English I use the subtitles.... and they hide the video you are commenting on

5:32 Italian Flag!

See group B in Portugal

@14:30 like Renault Réno .. Peugeout Pégo´

Group B Rally cars were unrestricted on the rules, so they had big turbo charged engines, so the noise is from the turbo waistegate dump.

Peugeot is pronounced Purr Joe………with a soft ‘J’………😊.

Renault 5 voi l avete venduta come amc le car

7:15 Renault Turbo

_IF_ you get to witness in-car p.o.v. footage I think you will need counseling! And yes, it _IS_ harder than F1. Some F1. drivers have tried and failed to transition to WRC.

React to Henri toivonen a rally legeng

allora ci sta, però le macchine bro impara i nomi e comunque il co pilota ha il libretto con le indicazioni per le curve e tutte le cose

Min 7.14 Renault 5 Turbo

"and again an Irish flag" And every Italian in the world curses your name.

Hell yes! Also check out one of the biggest stars of Group B, Michèle Mouton.

The whistle in the audis are caused by the wastegate, this is a device to release the pressured air from the turbo charger, this is why when he slows down that whistle, that serves to prevent any damage from the overpressured air in the turbo or the engine
