Cheers, Kev Good? The "fun" lasted until Lancia came up with their insane Delta S4 and the tragic crash of Henri Toivonen, one of the best drivers in history.

Ironically, the WRC cars are now faster and safer, but the rallies are shorter and less interesting IMHO. Title: Re: Rally, Euro Group B, early 80īs, you have to see this Post by: red baron on January 27, 2010, 21:13:09 pm totally sick...but hot

Ironically, the WRC cars are now faster and safer, but the rallies are shorter and less interesting IMHO. Less powerfull but faster and safer. But this is about to change very soon with the new WRC class coming up. Today rally is almost as borring as F1 and combined with the high cost for attending they have realiszed that the sport will be dead if they do not do something drastic. And they did.

Pilots were brave men to drive those monsters on such roads. I don't like what rallying became today, the last great memories I had were when I was a kid, there was Ford, Lancia, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Peugeot and To#Īta with pilots like Makinen, Sainz, Auriol, McRae etc... Now it became boring, a 2 days rally with 14 or 15 specials, I don't call that a rally. ::) And WTF with this new rule ? They run the same special twice a day, and they even removed the Monte-Carlo from the WRC. >:( And I don't like modern cars anyway. ;D
Edit : what's wrong with To-yo-tas ? :D :D Title: Re: Rally, Euro Group B, early 80īs, you have to see this Post by: Lee.C on January 29, 2010, 00:56:15 am Has anyone else heard the "Urban myth" about the team that came into the pits after a stage with a water leak and apon checking they found a FINGER inbeded in the radiator :o :D ;)
