My god! For rally fans like me this video is like gold..so happy! Pure essence of rally..the cars, the people, the atmosphere were something that today is impossible to have in rallies today! People loved all this but unfortunately this is no longer the case. Thanks for this video and the others on this channel

Bring back group B you mean, could you imagine what these manic machines would be like now.....I think group B being as popular now as it was then would have caused F1 to have not such a big following, love those Quattro's best cars in the field in my own opinion.....I owned 2 Quattro's from '85 and '86, then stayed with audi from then
The only victory for the Audi Quattro Sport E2, the most spectacular rally car in history !!! 💥 Thank you very much for this video 🙏 The best review I've seen of this iconic rally.
Nah, It was a 4WD understeery boat. I think best rally car in history was the Stratos, and in Group B, it was the Peugeot. Audi was great when it was the only decent 4WD on the grid.
@@mclarenf1gtr99 I agree with you. That's why I didn't say the Audi was the best car. I said it was the most spectacular car to watch, because it looked and sounded incredible!
Yo llegué a ver a las bestias estas, y es algo que después de 40 años no olvidas. La primera curva de un mundial no se olvida nunca, y te das cuenta que los rallyes que has visto hasta ese momento, quedan a años luz de estas bestias. Esa época fue loquísima, no solo por los coches, sino por la gente que iba a ver los rallyes, aunque hubo varios accidentes, con muertos, no se como no pasaban muchos más accidentes. Como vemos la gente se colocaba en la trayectoria, y allí nadie decía nada. Me acuerdo un tramo nocturno en el Rallye de Portugal en la zona de Oporto que yo estaba deseando que acabara porque entre el alcohol del vino de Oporto y las hogueras en el monte, aquello era un despelote. Cuando finalizó el tramo nos volvimos a España, estabamos saturados. Mi coche preferido era el Lancia 037, para mi el coche más bonito de rallyes de la historia, pero todos eran alucinantes. Al Audi S2 le costaba ir recto cdo aceleraba, y el morro subía y subía, es la aceleración más bestial que ha habido en los mundos de los rallyes. El Peugeot era el más equilibrado de todos, iba bien en todas las superficies. Hasta que apareció el Lancia S4, y dejó a todo el mundo alucinado. El sonido de su compresor era hipnótico, pero llegó lo que todos sabemos y se acabó esa locura. Algunos tuvimos la suerte de disfrutarlo.
Io abito vicino a Sanremo ma con gli amici andavano a vedere il rally in Toscana, le strade sterrate erano fantastiche, hai ragione, abbiamo visto cose che non vedremo mai più....Bello il video, all'arrivo non andavamo mai, tornavamo dalla Toscana stravolti e polverosi 😂 👋👋
@@jordigilgarcia6141 No me envidies... ahora soy un poco viejito, medio ciego, medio sordo, con diabetes, sobreviviente de un infarto... ¡Soy yo quien te envidia a ti que eres joven!

I followed the 1985 RAC Rally, hoping to see the 037's swansong. Can you believe I was disappointed when I saw the new S4s! Memories of Henri coming through Sutton Park (one of the opening stages) with half the front missing. Little did we know he was on his way to victory...
So much great footage here, thank you for the upload! Walter Rohrl somehow wrestling that clumsy Audi to victory over a field of Peugeots and Lancias, the Opel Mantas slipping further and further behind the pace, and an almost forgotten Group B car from that era - the Citroen Visa.
Walter had been practicing, practicing, practicing. Despite the handful of the Audi, provided the Quattro kept going, there was only going to be one winner of the event. Audi's final rally victory. I actually have an original Audi poster from this rally on a wall at home :-)
atmosfera di quando i rally erano un'avventura di migliaia di km, si disputavano in ogni condizione di giorno e di notte. Il penultimo anno di una grande epoca.
Yo tuve la suerte de ver estas máquinas con 7 y 8 años en el europeo cuando el Costa Blanca puntuaba para el mismo, y creo que nunca he podido encontrar un adjetivo para definir que era ver, oler y oír esos aparatos por el tramo. Era imposible no volverse adicto a los rallys después de ver ese espectáculo brutal.
My favorite part of the video tbh, I’ve seen countless footage hours of these cars being driven in anger but these pre-start scenes.. man, pure time machine!
I am quite convinced that rally Group B driver were the most skilled motorsport drivers ever. The reason is this: making a mistake cost not just their lives but possibly 20 others. Don't discount that pressure to make huge growth in skills.
This is awesome for us fans of rallying group B was beyond skill to tame beasts like the legends here . They will always true legends of car control. Following rallying around the uk was a true pleasure for many many years thanks for sharing the footage 🙏🏻👍🏻😉🇬🇧 just annoying how idiots stood on the roads making it so scary for the drivers as if driving at speed wasn’t hard enough it was the crowds that killed group B not the cars !! 😔
4:00 Here I am to revel in Group B nostalgia and what do I find: The first time ever hearing a Finnish guy speak Italian. The accent of Markko is adorable :D
When your father (or grandfather for the younger ones) tells you "boy, you know nothing about rally", don't pretend you do. These guys have enjoyed rally at it's very best. They were HARDCORE.
It was an honour to have been around during this era of rallying. Simply the greatest years of the sport. In 1980 Escorts were still competitive. By the end of 1985 we had the Delta S4: unbelievable pace of development.
La grande professionalità nel fumarsi tranquillamente la sigaretta mentre fai le interviste… comunque grande Henri, SEMPRE con un sorriso pronto per tutti, per sempre nel cuore
Some real gems in there too amongst the Group B cars - Fiat Strada 130 TC, Astra Kadett GTE, Corolla GT - and the Citroen Visa looking rapid. Nice video ❤
Wonderful video, thanks as always Passats de Canto; consideration, absurd how people didn't move until the last moment to take a photo, today all stages would be cancelled; today's instagrammers are nothing compared to these, they risked their lives in a few seconds. Late 80s perhaps the best ever for rallies
@@Marvdogger2, Aun no había cámaras Betacam es esa época, eran la cámara por un lado y el magnetoscopio en otro, unidos por un cable de creo 12 conectores.
Ver estos vídeos es lo más cerca q muchos hemos estado de disfrutar de aquella gloriosa época. Y aún así se disfrutan muchísimo, mil gracias por subirlos.
Your videos are always awesome. Quality is extremely good and I'm really wondering how is it even possible. I mean, we talk about 1985 footage and you don't expect something like this. The best rally youtube channel by far.
@DirtFish has just brought the archive from BBC TV of this era and will be showing it through 2024🏆🏆 Lancia 037 definately the best group B car in terms of looks.
Fantastico! Great behind the scenes footage too, never seen that stuff before. Shame that this is not in 50fps, I guess the original masters didn't have that available. Nevertheless, great upload again!
Ho vissuto il San Remo dal 1979 al 1986, abitando in Toscana le prove speciali erano praticamente sotto casa. La festa iniziava un mese prima, quando i piloti venivano a fare le ricognizioni. Notti passate sulle strade sterrate nella speranza di trovare qualche pilota a provare le speciali. Una sera intercettammo Biasion in un ristorante di un paesino nel Chianti. Parlammo con lui una ventina di minuti, poi si offrì di portare uno di noi a fare qualche centinaia di metri nella 037 come passeggero. Per evitare la rissa, fu concesso l'onore all'unica ragazza presente. Quando tornò era bianca come un lenzuolo, con gli occhi sbarrati e appena scesa di macchina vomito'. Immagino cosa avesse provato in quei 5 minuti... Un'altra sera trovammo il team Lancia in un albergo alla periferia di Siena. C'era la 037 di Biasion e sopra ad un carrello una S4 coperta da un telo perchè ancora non era stata presentata ufficialmente. Erano venuti a fare l'assetto della S4 sullo sterrato. Parlammo per più di un'ora con Biasion, l'ing. Lombardi e Tiziano Siviero, una serata indimenticabile. La mattina dopo sveglia all'alba e tutti a Monte San Savino fino a sera a vedere Biasion con l'S4. Un privilegio e uno spettacolo unico. Eventi oggi inimmaginabili, che nostalgia!!!!
Yo viví con mucha intensidad y pasión los grupoB y posterior WRC, la f1 cuando el duelo era entre Prost y Senna, a Pons y Crivillé encima de las motos, las copas en el urbano de Alcañiz (inolvidable esto) con J.Fernandez y su barqueta o Goiburu con el e30. A día de hoy nada de esto me interesa, ni lo más mínimo, los rallys sin público es como una sin, la f1 son una panda de millonarios en coches que casi se conducen solos y gana el que más gaste en coche etc, no quiero seguir, me atraganto.
When you thought you´ve seen every Group B clip on UA-cam you find this gem. Awesome
Gracias Telesport ¡¡¡¡¡¡....gracias Passat de Canto por estas joyas ¡¡¡¡¡

This video is absolute gold! An amazing time capsule to mid 80s rallying. No need for background music or commentary!
So much iconic footage used in MANY rallye videos come from this event. Should be preserved forever.

I've seen tons of rally videos, but the 205 moving the dust at 7:41 ...... Gravel specs on tarmac is always a pleasure to see. Pure rallying.
It was so boring on YT this days, and this absolutely marvellous video just cure my depression.

Amazing Video quality, and so fun seeing Marku Alen speaking Italian despite the Finnish cadence standing out like a sore thumb.
Markku was nicknamed 'the Italian Finn'. After so many years at Fiat and Lancia, it's no surprise that the Italian language was second nature to him!
Che tempi, purtroppo irripetibili 😢

Agree with f1, but modern wrc is not watered down. The cars now are pushing 500hp
@@alexoconnell2175 yes however group B was pushing over 500 in the 80’s without all the sophistication of todays cars, you can’t compare the 2
F1 - 1983 Brabham BT52/53. The most powerful F1 cars ever built. All off a standard BMW block.
8:28 - These people were absolutely crazy. They had incredible amount of trust in the drivers.

I have seen this exact S1 E2 a few years ago in the Walter Röhrl exhibition at the Zeithaus/Wolfsburg.
you never know how good you've had it until you lose it.
Without any doubt, Group B was for men while today WRC is for boys !!
