@@RuiLOKueSeDiz Henry & Sergio dead in Corsica Rally, (where they are largely in the lead). The Portugal event was early in the season (third event of the championship after Montecarlo & Sweden). The accident was caused by a local driver (Joaquim Santos, on a Ford RS200). The crazy condition (with the crowd waiting the cars in the middle of the race course), convinced the drivers to retire from the race.
Leggere in un commento, che toivonen era morto in portogallo, mi fa pensare che certa gente, di rally non ne capisce un cazzo... poi non sapremo mai cosa sia successo in quei frangenti del loro incidente... la macchina andò completamente distrutta dal fuoco... solo henri lo sà...

Group B was bonkers. The RS200 crash in Rally Portugal (3 dead 33 injured) and after a month, Henri Toivonen in Corsica brought this class to an end. But that Fiat...driven by Walter Rohl in Rally Portugal, 7 March 1980, Arganil stage (42km). Before he went to sleep the night before, he memorized the hole stage, every corner and bump. When morning came (and it was his birthday), the stage was covered in fog, no more than 5m of visibility. When the stage started, his co-driver started to tell the pace notes, but he didn't had any visual markers. So he decided to count the seconds (3,2,1...) when he heard "corner 60m"... end result, 35m15s for the stage and 3m48s lead! Just awesome. I think there is a documentary about it (in German). One of my kid memories is watching a skinny rally driver eating pasta from a fog lamp cap. He was doing some testing with Subaru. I thought rally drivers came from a different planet and watching that just brought me closer to the sport. Richard Burns was his name.
Walter Röhrl is his name and if you wanna see what he could (and still can) do, watch him behind the wheel of a group B Audi Sport Quattro S1 (pay attention to his pedal work): ua-cam.com/video/wqREtbLe4sY/v-deo.html
Walter Röhrl has a photographic memory - that is what sets him apart. On the mentioned Rally they also pulled the fuse of the tail lights so nobody could keep up with them in the fog...
@@bobsmith4099 it depends on what you consider faster; sheer power and top speed, or overall speed. The Gr.A cars where faster around a stage then the Gr.B cars, but they didn't have the brutality or power of the Gr.B monsters
@kuro neko You said that just because it's about a car. The "funny" thing that you could say that sentence about your spouse, your children, your dream-house, your dream-job etc. as well.
@@colinmunro7337 You think " Estoril was no stranger to rallying as it was commonly used as a test venue for World Championship teams to test their tarmac setup for the roads around Sintra and even served as a regroup area for the Rally. As was commonly done at all tests the engineers would record the times of the car through the day in order to track progress. With Henri Toivonen on hand to put the car through its paces and being able to use full boost (2.2 Bar on the S4 to produce in access of 560bhp) something that could be rarely done due to the size of the stages in a Rally. Toivonen’s time was good enough to put him in the top ten of the times set by the F1 cars at a test earlier in the year."
colin munro it was in Estoril Racetrack where the Portuguese Grand Prix and also one of the stages ( the rally slalom) of the Rally of Portugal took place. Portugal not Spain...
Demuro can be annoying. I will watch some of his videos if the vehicle is interesting - I will watch Jay's videos because they are always interesting, and Jay covers 2 and 4 wheels, gas, electric, steam , whatever power makes it move
Jp nice man with one mistake 5:14They didn't get from this (Fiat 131 Abarth ) to that (Lancia) in 5 years !!?? He somehow forgot Lancia Stratos and Lancia 037 and Lancia 037 is real precessor of Delta S4 NOT Fiat 131 Abarth
I remember my brother and I discovering "Gruppe B" as teenagers. Fascinated by the sounds and the violence of the cars. Unheard of for 2 black kids that came from a drag racing family. It, not only introduced us to WRC, but road racing and time attack, as well. Most importantly, it opened our young eyes to something other than Muscle Cars.
In 1985, when Lancia engineers tested an S4 engine (Abarth 233 ATR 18S) under extreme conditions, it developed around 1,014 PS (746 kW; 1,000 hp) at 5 bars of boost pressure.
Yeah, it's a 1.8/2.0L 4-cyl engine. And that's the caveat to the 'hold my beer' sentiments: the few restrictions in the Grp B rules, and a run of transmission failures (i.e utterly grenaded) blunted the power output. They had to rein it in a bit. Had Grp B's successor Grp S, gone ahead, Lancia had a completely reworked Delta S4 in the mill that employed Ferrari F1 tech. Minimum 760bhp iirc.
@@creepingjesus5106 my father was working in FIAT Lancia group and retired in 1994. He was involved in development of the engines since FIAT lancia used the same facilities (engines dev and test labs). They were testing ECV2 engine and pushed some of them far beyond S4. He told me that they were aiming at 1500HP for race use (the level was nearing 1HP x cm3 similarly to F1 of that era). He was disappointed because such powers would have rendered the car extremely dangerous if not uncontrollable.
@@xiter8868 ECV 2, that was it! I read quite an extensive write up on it (and what was to replace the Metro 6R4, that kinda became the MG EXE concept car) maybe a year or two after Grp S was definitely not going to happen. Some of the technical insights from both, were fascinating. I'd have loved to have been in those labs and workshops! You'll know the Fiat Group end of things better, but on the MG end, there were things like the 'axial' turbo that ABB were developing (think of it more like an air raid siren in form), and some very trick 4wd with Gartrac. Of course not all of this went in the bin, quite a lot of it 'trickled sideways' to rallycross teams with deep pockets, and the notorious Audi 90 IMSA cars benefited too. We can still speculate and dream though! (Thinking about it, didn't Davide Cironi get a drive of the museum's ECV 2 a few years back? That would be a real treat.)

Most of the Irish are that way. Once you hit a topic they are uniquely fascinated with they will talk for hours about it. And I say this in a good way. I could listen to the Irish stories for days. Never gets old... Lol
I love this show. Every car is treated the same with Respect. No matter the shape, size, make, year, etc. They are all shown for all their glory and past. This show is a safe heaven for all car enthusiasts. Here your favorite car brand is shown with such passion. No car is better then the other on Jay Leno's Garage.
What a lovely chap, everyone from Ireland I've met over here in the uk are just like John.... they love life and live it to the full. It's always lifes nicest that get taken too soon! R.I.P John and thank you for showing us your cars 🙏😉👍
Zerofightervi That’s my point: if those F1 engines made around 1500bhp in qualifying trim, imagine if they were allowed a 2 liter displacement. They would certainly make more power than the 1.5’s. So there IS no replacement for displacement.
The Fiat 131 Abarth's engine is a 16 valve, so four valves per cylinder. Also, there's not five years between these, the car might have been used in 78 but the 131 project goes back to 74. In between these two, there was still the Lancia 037. Another fun fact... the S4 is basically a tubular chassis monster with a fibreglass body that looks roughly like a Delta. It was so fast that Toivonen once lapped the Estoril circuit in Portugal (from a standing start!) fast enough to get himself halfway on that year's Formula 1 GP grid.
@@urbaaniaetsintaa285 You had no idea what you are talking about as the obviously the rich guy who own it(he made to much mistakes in introduction). It was fiberglass with some inserioons of kevlar.
I seen lot of motor sport in my time..dtm...f1..but seeing this monster in November 85 powering down a frosty lane on the rac rally will stay with me forever...
Technical brilliance from the Fiat group, shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that really knows cars. Thank you Jay and John for sharing this with the world.
Great video, I had the exact same experience as John but in Donegal. My dad brought me to the Donegal and standing on top of a ditch the sound of Billy Coleman in the works Stratos coming through the morning mist made the hair stand on my head and I've never recovered! I managed to buy my dream car 15yrs ago, it's called the "Holy Grail" of Subaru's I own one of the 22b prototypes..
In my country we still have a ceremonial rally every year where all the old rally cars comes out of the garages and race...Integrale,Peugeot 205,Reneult 5, Ford Escort RS etc...
"More money than talent" Jay puts up his hand. Seen Jay in another video where he self proclaims to be "President of the More Money than Brains Club". Always entertaining and informative, Jay. Greatly apprreciated by all
That Lancia just says so much about the Italians at the height of their passion with rally cars. Mr. Campion your a champion! Full respect. Group B was also called "Killer B's"
R.I.P. Mr Campion. So sad to hear of his passing this week. Passionate steward of my favorite era of rally cars. What a successful "dropout", too! Look up the story of his worklife.
Awesome guest and and two stunning cars, his passion for his cars was infectious. I know I don't know him personally but ,glad he is in better health, he seems full of life
Those cars use to be on my wall, as the best rally cars of all time. As a kid from the 80's, these were epic rally cars. Thanks for showing them Mr. Leno.
this is what make Jay so freaking awesome!!! being able to see 2 cars like these is such a treat!!! I'd never have the chance to see them anywhere else. and the banter between Jay and anyone who brings a car to share is always so much fun. You entertained me for years on the tonight show and now its so much fun to be able to watch you share your passion for cars. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
The Lancia 037 was the rawest of all, but wow, to see those two classic icons was amazing, thank you. The ultimate in proving you don't need huge engines to make awesome power. The lightweight construction, agility, handling, and sheer ferocity is something that will never be seen again.
Nice to see Cork’s humble rally hero Billy Coleman get a mention on Jay Leno’s Garage. He inspired many Irish drivers including Craig Breen whom we hope will make a full time return to WRC next year.
Incredible!!!! I still remember watching those Group B beasts flying down those little roads and hundreds of people standing no more than two feet from the road. You were scared for the fans, the drivers, just nuts. Thanks for sharing this crazy bit of history! And God bless those who lost their lives.
An hour or six with John Campion ( I hope I spelled the name correctly ) and you'd know all you want ( or need ) to know about Rally cars of the era. What a ball of energy! What a helluva set of cars! Thanks Jay!
I love Jay Leno. I don't care who knows it. The man is living a dream that most of us poor saps will never even catch a piece of. And he shares his passion with all of us... he is the greatest!
Without a helmet and HANS, those harnesses would do far more harm than not wearing them. (then again, you are sitting on the gas tank; in a crash, you want to be thrown as far away as possible.)
Holy cow Jay!!!!!!!!!! This episode is EXCELLENT!!!!!! John Campion is a legend & hero & this video should've been 3 hours long. I could listen to him talk all day!!! Erin Beggora!!!!!!! Erin go Bragh!!!!!!!
One of the coolest cars I’ve seen in Leno’s garage show, specially the delta!!! I wish I owned one. Those are the cars that have personality, history and stands out from most cars. He sold his Ferraris to buy such an awesome collection, a true car enthusiast !
Amazing to see how much this gentleman's appearance has changed since his Petrolicious video just a few years ago, but even more amazing is his passion about cars, firebreathing italian rally cars to be exact. That passion carries on and I am so happy guys like him exist. Great video once again
I enjoyed watching Jay act like a child with this car. Plus, I have always wanted to see how a GroupB car would perform. I am impressed less then 3 seconds 0-60 in the 80's. That is amazing. Let's bring GroupB back for back.
@Akash Gupta No, he isn’t. Look up the episode about the Musket V Twin ... Aniket Vardhan was just as good a storyteller as this gentleman here, and Jay didn’t once cut him off.
Back in the day, I had a 131 sport ( two door) in Orange 🍊 had great fun..Went to Donington..To see World Superbikes..On the way back raced a Porsche 944..Blow the exhaust box off,still got home 300 miles..Great car..Swopped it for a show winning Mini 1275....Another story there..😎🇬🇧I..
Rip John. A great story about the Stratos in Ireland in 78. Reminds me of my father telling me the first time he saw an RS1800 in the UK. Roger Clark on the Wyedean rally Iirc and the first time the MK2 was rallied as a works car. He came into sight into 90 left absolutely on it and sideways. Queue a life long obsession for my father.
The Integrale was breaking Group B stage times by the early 90's. A current WRCar (or even R5), would destroy a period specification Group B car on stage.
Perhaps in a drag race, but these are rally cars we are discussing, not drag cars. On the stages it didn't take long for subsequent cars to go faster, and the latest batch of WRCars are absolutely incredible to watch. The Group B cars were/are awesome, but a lot of rally fans don't give enough appreciation to the generations that followed.
I'd like to see that Delta S4/Focus rallycross drag race run again with a competitive rallycross car as well: Marklund motorsport were clocking sub-2 second 0-60 times a few years ago, would love to see one of the Works Supercars do a similar race against an S4!
I grew up enjoying Road & Track covering all the exciting rally races in Europe and it just seemed like a different world. So neat to see these cars and hear the stories.
Watched this then immediately gone on the search for group b. I’ve pretty much seen everything out there and even saw them in the flesh back in the day but it was an amazing period in motorsport history that will never be boring and we’ll never see the likes of it again.
I miss the old group Bs. Lancia Delta S4, Lancia 037, Peugeot 205 T16, Ford RS200, Audi Quattro, Metro 6R4. Rallying was so much fun back then although crowd control was virtually unheard of. The characteristic noises coming from these engines was pure magic
So sad to hear about Johns recent passing from his cancer fight. He was the most enthusiastic Lancia rally car owner i have seen.

The engine in the Lancia Delta S4 is twin charged. It has a turbo and a supercharger which results in insane power and reduced turbo lag.
I bet you would love to get behind the wheel just as much as me.
@@mclarenjohnf1 Oh hell yeah.
Should've seen it during the group B rallies in the 80's, scary fast
There is one for sale in Italy right now, for just half a million dollars
"You have to drive this car" i love this guy already.. always a treat, jay..
Edward Tiangco I know! “This one is more streetable...” I was thinking exactly what he said, “you have to drive this car”
Just look at that Delta S4, how it's built and put together... it's madness! Rally drivers back then were the bravest men on earth! RIP Henri!
RIP John - thank you for all your contributions to Irish Motorsport and for educating everybody about Lancias with maximum enthusiasm.
Not to many guys talk over Jay , this guy is great. I would like to see him drive it ❗️
Hi Ralph -- thanks for tuning in. I have a few videos where I'm driving these beasts. Head over to my channel to check them out. Cheers!
Loved how jay would try and jump into the conversation and he shut him down and continued with his own 😂😂
@@mrboatshoe Jay literally know nothing about Lancia ahah
Wow never thought I’d see a works Delta S4 in Jays garage.
I missed your videos man
Neither did Jay.
Me either
Hey man, love the videos
I don't think it is a works car. I think it's the Jolly Club car that came second at the Sanremo rally in 86.
I could be wrong.

Greetings from South Africa..!
One of my favorites if not my top 5 favorite episodes from Jay Leno's garage... RIP John
For me, This is the best episode by far. I smiled evertime I see the mighty Delta..
Dion Aldi me too
The 2005 Ford GT was the best in my book. He had the original designer. Watch it if you haven't seen it yet.
I don’t know whom this gentleman is, but I like his energy.
I would be full of energy and excitement too if I got a chance to tour Jay's garage and hang out
It's a wee dram of whiskey; 'dat's all, laddie.
He rlly has thinned recently, wish him the best
GoofyLeo3 that’s Scottish, Me laddie...
GoofyLeo3 *whisky*
An irishman into rally cars, never. R.I.P. John, R.I.P Manus a legend. John never lost the accent. LOVE the channel
I had a 1980 131 Brava in 84...Loved that car...Handled like a dream
He certainly is a story teller
He could do the narration for a rally race. Excellent vocal enunciation in spite of the thick Irish accent!
Most of the Irish are that way. Once you hit a topic they are uniquely fascinated with they will talk for hours about it. And I say this in a good way. I could listen to the Irish stories for days. Never gets old... Lol
Because Irish
He's Irish
He's a good representative for the Irish, for sure. He spins a good tale.
I love this show. Every car is treated the same with Respect. No matter the shape, size, make, year, etc. They are all shown for all their glory and past. This show is a safe heaven for all car enthusiasts. Here your favorite car brand is shown with such passion. No car is better then the other on Jay Leno's Garage.
These cars born a few miles from my childhood house in Turin. Very emotional to me.
What a lovely chap, everyone from Ireland I've met over here in the uk are just like John.... they love life and live it to the full. It's always lifes nicest that get taken too soon! R.I.P John and thank you for showing us your cars 🙏😉👍
Both S4 and 131 in one episode?? What a treat for my eyes and ears!
American : There's no replacement for displacement.
Italian : Hold my macaroni.
Zerofightervi I love how the most Italian thing you could think of was macaroni!
@@jamescoogan8963 I though pizza was too obvious.
It WOULD have more power if it was a 2.0L or a 2.2L so there is no replacement for displacement.
@@danielj3230 some of the powerful F1 cars ever were only 1.5 litre.
Zerofightervi That’s my point: if those F1 engines made around 1500bhp in qualifying trim, imagine if they were allowed a 2 liter displacement. They would certainly make more power than the 1.5’s. So there IS no replacement for displacement.
The Fiat 131 Abarth's engine is a 16 valve, so four valves per cylinder. Also, there's not five years between these, the car might have been used in 78 but the 131 project goes back to 74. In between these two, there was still the Lancia 037. Another fun fact... the S4 is basically a tubular chassis monster with a fibreglass body that looks roughly like a Delta. It was so fast that Toivonen once lapped the Estoril circuit in Portugal (from a standing start!) fast enough to get himself halfway on that year's Formula 1 GP grid.
Carbon kevlar, no fibreglass.
I think twincam but only 2valves per cylinder. In the states they’d call it hemi (hemispheric combustion chamber).
@@urbaaniaetsintaa285 You had no idea what you are talking about as the obviously the rich guy who own it(he made to much mistakes in introduction). It was fiberglass with some inserioons of kevlar.
Hard to believe..
@@istvanburuzs9843 The Abarth did indeed use a 16v version of the 2-litre engine.
I seen lot of motor sport in my time..dtm...f1..but seeing this monster in November 85 powering down a frosty lane on the rac rally will stay with me forever...
Technical brilliance from the Fiat group, shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that really knows cars. Thank you Jay and John for sharing this with the world.
I had a massive smile on my face watching Jay drive the Group B at the end...
When was the last time he was screaming while driving a car. You can tell he loves driving this car.
Great video, I had the exact same experience as John but in Donegal. My dad brought me to the Donegal and standing on top of a ditch the sound of Billy Coleman in the works Stratos coming through the morning mist made the hair stand on my head and I've never recovered!
I managed to buy my dream car 15yrs ago, it's called the "Holy Grail" of Subaru's
I own one of the 22b prototypes..
In my country we still have a ceremonial rally every year where all the old rally cars comes out of the garages and race...Integrale,Peugeot 205,Reneult 5, Ford Escort RS etc...
"More money than talent" Jay puts up his hand. Seen Jay in another video where he self proclaims to be "President of the More Money than Brains Club". Always entertaining and informative, Jay. Greatly apprreciated by all
"Hell open to sinners"...lol. like "bat out of hell"...Jay really looked to be having a blast.
Extra good!
To be sure to be sure
That Lancia just says so much about the Italians at the height of their passion with rally cars.
Mr. Campion your a champion! Full respect. Group B was also called "Killer B's"
R.I.P. Mr Campion.
So sad to hear of his passing this week. Passionate steward of my favorite era of rally cars.
What a successful "dropout", too!
Look up the story of his worklife.
Awesome guest and and two stunning cars, his passion for his cars was infectious. I know I don't know him personally but ,glad he is in better health, he seems full of life
A transplant a month prior, and exuding so much energy and passion already! Wow!
The great John Campion, RIP. John did so much for young Irish racing drivers and historic cars
Group B cars are the literal best thing ever.
Those cars use to be on my wall, as the best rally cars of all time. As a kid from the 80's, these were epic rally cars. Thanks for showing them Mr. Leno.
this is what make Jay so freaking awesome!!! being able to see 2 cars like these is such a treat!!! I'd never have the chance to see them anywhere else. and the banter between Jay and anyone who brings a car to share is always so much fun. You entertained me for years on the tonight show and now its so much fun to be able to watch you share your passion for cars. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
Welcome To Another Episode of John Campion's Garage with this week's guest, Jay Leno!
The Lancia brings back good memories to me :) I miss 90s rally with Juha Kankkunen.
reb1138 Have you seen the Chris Harris video where he goes to a Pirelli tire event and Juha drives an S4? It’s great.
@@RunDub I might have, I'll check it out though thanks!
Also don't think they mentioned that the delta was the most successful 'platform' in rally history
Like Kankkunen put it "WRC is for boys, Group B was for men" :)
@@RunDub ua-cam.com/video/mXgWWNJVdYA/v-deo.html
The Lancia 037 was the rawest of all, but wow, to see those two classic icons was amazing, thank you. The ultimate in proving you don't need huge engines to make awesome power. The lightweight construction, agility, handling, and sheer ferocity is something that will never be seen again.
Nice to see Cork’s humble rally hero Billy Coleman get a mention on Jay Leno’s Garage. He inspired many Irish drivers including Craig Breen whom we hope will make a full time return to WRC next year.
Incredible!!!!
I still remember watching those Group B beasts flying down those little roads and hundreds of people standing no more than two feet from the road.
You were scared for the fans, the drivers, just nuts.
Thanks for sharing this crazy bit of history!
And God bless those who lost their lives.
When you watch this video and at the end you say to yourself...”already finish”...you know it was a great video.
That's how I felt about filming it with Jay. Happy you enjoyed watching it as much as I did filming it!
John J Campion enjoy? LOVED watching this. You can tell when the people behind the lens love what they are filming as much as you the viewer does!
This kind of episodes only deserve to be on this channel, and never on NBC! Thank You JAY!
An hour or six with John Campion ( I hope I spelled the name correctly ) and you'd know all you want ( or need ) to know about Rally cars of the era.
What a ball of energy!
What a helluva set of cars!
Thanks Jay!
I love Jay Leno. I don't care who knows it. The man is living a dream that most of us poor saps will never even catch a piece of. And he shares his passion with all of us... he is the greatest!
Jay Leno's the kind of guy to drive a group B killer rally car without a seatbelt.😃
I wasn't game to comment but you did so yea WTF..........lol
Without a helmet and HANS, those harnesses would do far more harm than not wearing them. (then again, you are sitting on the gas tank; in a crash, you want to be thrown as far away as possible.)
They’re both wearing the lap belts, but not the shoulder harnesses.
@@jfbeam Thrown from a car would be tricky when its all roll cage and kevlar.
He was riding Kawasaki H2 in his denim, which is like 0 protection :)
Thank you Jay and John, what a great episode this is! What a heroes!
Cheers from Portugal
3:10 "It's like Pokemon, gotta catch em all"
Man of culture. RIP.
Holy cow Jay!!!!!!!!!! This episode is EXCELLENT!!!!!! John Campion is a legend & hero & this video should've been 3 hours long. I could listen to him talk all day!!! Erin Beggora!!!!!!! Erin go Bragh!!!!!!!
Doug Demuro: Here is a Lancia Delta Integrale!
Jay Leno: Hold my beer!!
Ha, i was thinking the same thing.
cringe
hold my chin
They are missing the 037, that explains a lot of the evolution and that was also a crazy car
oh shut up! just enjoy the video!
I'm sure John has one. How many cars do you want him to bring for one episode?
Jay did an episode on the 037 Stradale, but if it’s not in Martini livery it’s just not the same!
He's got the 037 according to his wiki. Got the Fulvia, Stratos and HF intergrale as well.
The missing link here so to say
One of the coolest cars I’ve seen in Leno’s garage show, specially the delta!!! I wish I owned one. Those are the cars that have personality, history and stands out from most cars. He sold his Ferraris to buy such an awesome collection, a true car enthusiast !
Man, this made my morning. Contagious passion and raw, unfiltered dream cars. Thanks Jay.
R.I.P Henri Toivonen! 037 and S4 are two of the greatest cars ever made.
RIP Sergio Cresto (co-driver) as well.
The beginning and the ending of group B.
Sega Rally Championship. "Medium left, medium right. Over jump! Very long easy left MAYBE."
Haha
Loved that game
😂😂😂
HOLY HECK! What a great episode! Much respect to John for his passion and commitment.
Amazing to see how much this gentleman's appearance has changed since his Petrolicious video just a few years ago, but even more amazing is his passion about cars, firebreathing italian rally cars to be exact. That passion carries on and I am so happy guys like him exist. Great video once again
Wow, I have been waiting forever for Jay to get a group B beast on his show!!! Brilliant
I enjoyed watching Jay act like a child with this car. Plus, I have always wanted to see how a GroupB car would perform. I am impressed less then 3 seconds 0-60 in the 80's. That is amazing. Let's bring GroupB back for back.
12:40 "It's hell open to sinners" that made my day lol
Fantastic episode. RIP John Campion -- rally royalty. A great loss.
Never clicked on a video faster, and absolutely wasn't disappointed. Get well soon John, hope I can see the cars in Europe!
Thank you for the well-wishes. Happy to hear you enjoyed the film!
John J Campion fantastico....best wishes John
@@JohnJCampionCjj Hope you're keeping well John, hopefully you'll be back in Jay Leno's Garage again soon with some more of your collection.
Oh, that Lancia is a thing of beauty isn't it? Wow.
Having attended a lacia rally in Poland I agree, with 4 S4 in attendance
Been my fav car for 30 years, what a machine
siamo bravi a fare macchine in italia....
The Delta S4 will forever be my unachievable car, heck you could buy a F40 on every street corner... Group B is the legend
So many episodes I find myself saying this was the best...once again this was the best episode yet.
Yes! I always wanted Jay to drive more of the Lancia rally cars. Hopefully he'll do a Delta Evo II in the future!
Probably the only guy, who jay Leno doesn’t cut while speaking.
@Akash Gupta No, he isn’t. Look up the episode about the Musket V Twin ... Aniket Vardhan was just as good a storyteller as this gentleman here, and Jay didn’t once cut him off.
I have a 1983 Fiat 131 Mirafiori 1600CL! Great to see it getting some recognition lol
Jay, thanks so much for posting this. Two of my all time favourite rally cars.
Back in the day, I had a 131 sport ( two door) in Orange 🍊 had great fun..Went to Donington..To see World Superbikes..On the way back raced a Porsche 944..Blow the exhaust box off,still got home 300 miles..Great car..Swopped it for a show winning Mini 1275....Another story there..😎🇬🇧I..
Thanks for this episode - opitomy of what we all love about JLG. Cars and their owners both as special and rare as each other. Get well JC.
Hands down John is the Best quest ever....bring him back with more or go to his place.
Sadly that will not happen ,John passed away on Oct 2nd this year
Rip John. A great story about the Stratos in Ireland in 78. Reminds me of my father telling me the first time he saw an RS1800 in the UK. Roger Clark on the Wyedean rally Iirc and the first time the MK2 was rallied as a works car. He came into sight into 90 left absolutely on it and sideways. Queue a life long obsession for my father.
The best rally car of all time, nothing short of legendary.
Couldn't agree more!
Lancia Delta Integrale is the best rally car, not the S4
The Integrale was breaking Group B stage times by the early 90's. A current WRCar (or even R5), would destroy a period specification Group B car on stage.
Perhaps in a drag race, but these are rally cars we are discussing, not drag cars.
On the stages it didn't take long for subsequent cars to go faster, and the latest batch of WRCars are absolutely incredible to watch.
The Group B cars were/are awesome, but a lot of rally fans don't give enough appreciation to the generations that followed.
I'd like to see that Delta S4/Focus rallycross drag race run again with a competitive rallycross car as well: Marklund motorsport were clocking sub-2 second 0-60 times a few years ago, would love to see one of the Works Supercars do a similar race against an S4!
I grew up enjoying Road & Track covering all the exciting rally races in Europe and it just seemed like a different world. So neat to see these cars and hear the stories.
Watched this then immediately gone on the search for group b. I’ve pretty much seen everything out there and even saw them in the flesh back in the day but it was an amazing period in motorsport history that will never be boring and we’ll never see the likes of it again.
Lancia has won 11 world rally titles. The greatest of all time. A rally legend
5 seconds in Jay already between lanes cutting people off lmao. Sweet car. Wish we had more old euro cars over here.
Wonderful. All the best of health to that man. His energy was contagious.
I miss the old group Bs. Lancia Delta S4, Lancia 037, Peugeot 205 T16, Ford RS200, Audi Quattro, Metro 6R4.
Rallying was so much fun back then although crowd control was virtually unheard of.
The characteristic noises coming from these engines was pure magic
0 to 60 in 2 point 3 seconds ..........
That is some serious firework !
How are classic rally cars SO beautiful. Honestly nothing will match the group B rally cars.
