BBC4 Group B documentary

[Retromx]

Hi rear engine hatchback people :salut:
on BBC4 1st April there is a documentary on the 80s Group B rallying, some of you might enjoy this documentary our v6s are related to this type of car...albert our cars have higher numbers produced and less power but in the same idea / spirit ect.
I only ever had the chance to drive the Audi Sport Quattro, Ford RS200 but sadly never had the chance to drive the Metro 6R4, Lancia S4 Strada or even the BX 4TC... nearly forgot the Turbo 2 that I trashed :rollseyes:
Anyway enjoy the hour program of these super cool cars from another time

Bloody hell! That's not a Grp B car. That ran in the Superproduction track class. A MUCH cooler car in my opinion. Not sure but I think it ran north of 450bhp and mixed it in a field of 6-700hp cars.

I better not watch this program to be fair. I'll start to want a swb Quattro again!

Can't wait for this!

Great stuff. Thanks for the heads up.

Duke is set to release this documentary as a DVD on 2nd April: LINK

Duke have also produced other such videos - the 1985 rally season is a particular favourite of mine. I suspect most of the footage shown in the above documentary will be sourced from the 1985 rally season.

Thanks for the heads up! Set it to record! Don't forget the 205 t16, that was the first 4wd that audis quattro had to beat! Legendary times, cars and drivers... night stages in one of those slags

 

[Retromx]

Too right mate, the T16 is a super bit of kit :approve:
