Group B rally cars! Pics included!

Well, as some of you might know, rally is pretty big over here in Europe. Back in the 80`s, there was a "special" class called group B.. These cars were so wild and undriveable that they banned the cars after a few years.. For instance Audi made the famous S1 rally car pushing 780 BHP.

Not many know that even the 1.st gen competed in this class. the cars were made in Belgium. A few years ago, i attended a uphill sprint and there were.. A 1.st gen group B with a pp 13B, widebody etc. Here in Norway! Damn!

It turns out that at least two (!) of these little monsters is still racing in Norway! Both running carbed pp`s, reving up to 13K. The sound is incredible!

Best thing is, i found some pictures! Damn, they look good!












I have some more, just have to upload them first!

Dude, Im here in germany right now, and I have YET to see a 1st gen in Europe, and Ive been to more than just Germany since Ive been here, lol. Ive been looking for ANY RX-7s, but I havent seen em. Ive seen two RX-8s though. A couple tricked out Skylines, a WRX or two, and of course tons of BMWs, Mercedes, and Audis, yadda, yadda. I cant leave until I see one!
