Group B. The best cars ever made. During the mid 80's I worked for Lancia UK.

During the early 90's I was running Metro 6R4 in European Rallycross. Great days.

I particularly liked the Ford RS200, maybe because my company did all the detailed chassis design plus the body to chassis interface.

At the end of the project I was offered one brand new for £25000. To think I said 'no' - what would it be worth now?

Those G'p B cars were awesome beasts, especially in the forests without notes.

Got hundreds of Group B Rallycross pics.

The Rallycross cars were so much more developed, as the rules were a lot more open than World Rally, also cars had a longer life in European Championship, running until homologation ran out in early '90s.

The group B cars used to come over here when the Manx International Rally was a big thing. They were absolutely fantastic snorting and growling past my mate's gate :D

Dad used to have one of the RS200 replicas, the Kara430.
Not quite the real thing but awesome.
