I watched a clip with a rally racer who basically said he let up because of people in the road and his copilot said "you let up, we lose" and that was that.
But it has its short comings also. It misses Toivonens crash with 037 in Costa Smeralda which almost killed him, and also it misses Attilio Bettegas death with 037 on Tour De Corse year before Henri and Sergio died, also Ari Vatanens near death crash in Argentina. All these are part of the very fibre of the group B history. Group B monsters in Finland by Amjays2 is great video.
I had a quick search and couldn't easily find any Group B night stages, but there are night videos from recent Rallies. Just remember that modern Rally cars have much better lights... and it's still scary.@@FirstUpGolf
These are normal public roads without modifications. There are no added bumps to make cars jump. Biggest jumps are In Finnish rally, which you checked first. It is also the one with fastest speeds. Drivers try to jump as little as possible because it slows them down. Car can't accelerate, when it is In the air.
I really enjoy your videos, something about them makes them better then so many other 'reacts' channels : ) Fun fact, gravel roads (particularly those in Australia, where I live) can be more slippy then any ice/snow.
Why so many people and so close? First, the rally had a "golden era" in the 80s, it was very popular. Secondly, at that time security was not considered as much as it is today. Third, the stages are public roads, so everyone could come and spectate. This was just the footage of Group B, if you want to know something about it, like what inventions it brought to the world we have today, watch the video "Group B: When Rallying Got TOO FAST". He talks about it very nicely in the video.
@@FirstUpGolf I'm only kidding! I'm just glad people are discovering what was my first childhood experience of rally. I was 7 at the time, and these machines were otherworldly. They are special even now, but in the 80's, Jesus!!

in the very beginning what it reads after Juha kankkunen's words.. Juha lives almost in my neighbour and my father built his house with Juha's brother, thought juha and his brother was not that much help at some times, they were always drunk as hell lol :D
I have to mention that "fun" fact that during services for maintenance, mecanics would find blood and even some fingers and other bits lodged in the aero pieces 😬
i grow up going to the rally. going 8km in 50cm snow to get to the spot. glowing breaks in the dark and full throttle through the snow. stig blomqvist giving the audi his love. i will not forget it¡
Dude, I'ts basically the other way around 😁😋.... it's not that the "guy that's riding along prays that the driver knows what he's doing", it's HIM that TELLS the driver what to do and what is coming next!!!😁 Without him, the driver has no chance, since they basically are driving "blind" on a public road they in most cases never even saw, let alone raced on, and only had a chance to survey it before the race, to make the notes (that the copilot is reading to the driver during the race, from those notebooks you see copilots are holding in their hands 😉)...
At the time of Group B, there were about 10-12 drivers who could drive really fast with these cars. After the ban came the group A for boys and suddenly there were 30-40 rides with similar times. Where were they in the days of Group B? By the way, the saying was made by Walter Röhrl, multiple rally world champion, probably the best rally driver of all time.
Walter had his weaknesses, too. He did not like the Finnish roads because of the jumps, and he did not like "blind" rallies. Practicing and making pace notes were key to his and Geistdorfet's success. The RAC was "blind" until 1989, which gave a big advantage to crews that had lots of UK experience. The African rallies were also not to his taste
Actually the current era WRC cars are (finally) faster... Group B was more raw, loud and brutal, also more dangerous and gave more thrills - but even if it took a few decades, WRC cars finally reached their pace. I stopped going spectate rally races mid 90's, since they had kinda lost their thrill... but for the last two years have started going watch them again - and damn they're fast now :) Only thing I miss from Group B is the sounds, also cars being more different from each other... but is ok :)
@@sammy4538 Group B stage times were overtaken at 1990. Todays WRC 1 car is by far fastest rally car. Mikkola said his S1 Evo 1 did 220, so in max speed old cars were fast. Todays WRC 1 is limited to 195.
The scene where you said ooo ooo. Ari Vatenen in Opel. He cut a left front tire an continued. Car barely turns right but he still reaches speed around 100mph. ua-cam.com/video/cxDz0Z066NI/v-deo.htmlsi=uL1AbcunGidRnuw7
a lot of people died and were injured during the Groupe B era, now it's safer. but if you want to react at the most dangerous sport in the world, watch the Isle of man TT. it's a bike race and on average more than 2 people die every year. There were 102 races and 266 deaths.
Some of these maniacs were doing this with 1000bhp under their right boot 🤣 check out some stuff about Colin McRea RIP 🙏🏼... his motto was "if in doubt.... go flat out"!!!! Keep up the good work mate.. maybe check out some stuff on the Isle of man TT motorcycle road race💀😱😬😬😬
That's just incorrect information. The most powerful had5-600 hp. And only in the last few years. The first year's of Group B, they had no more than 300-350 hp. Even in the 90s, rally got faster, than Group B. Better chassis, better brakes, better suspension, etc.
Rally drivers motto: "If in doubt, flat out!"
I watched a clip with a rally racer who basically said he let up because of people in the road and his copilot said "you let up, we lose" and that was that.
Spectators in the 80s were next level 😂
I join in to suggest the ''Group B - When Rally Got Too Fast'', it explains it quite well and gives also some background.
Yes it is a good video

One of the things this (and other Rally clips) often miss out is the night stages. Onboard POV footage of a night stage is genuinely scary.

ahh ok awesome
Every time someone reacts to rally for the first time they always get showered with Group B recommendations.
No wonder.
It was the golden age of Rally

only one stage with added jumps in rally finland is / was ruuhimäki at the very end of the stage.
5:15 This is a great footage how to use all 3 pedals at once.

Sweden rally is snow rally. They full throttle in darkness. Tru out of year they visit almost all surfaces and condititions

good old group B i used to help out at these events in my youth😃😁 Fingers Stuck in Grills did happend back then
Really analytical reaction vid, me like :) If u ever get a chance get a co-drive in a rally car :) Its freakin awesome!
that would be epic
Probably the most insane sport in modern history. No doubt. Just check out the metrics then. Totally bonkers.

snow rally are the best.... Montecarlo, Norway, etc...
they dont do it in norway in WRC, in sweden and finland they do, (at least one year they had 2 rallies in finland, one in summer and second in winter)
