- The notorious Group B Monsters driven to to the limit in World Rally Championship events around the world in 1983-1986 seasons - with pure engine sounds
- Auta a dopravní prostředky
Drifting 700+ HP cars into narrow lanes in the pitch dark with people all around. Few things in the world are crazier than that.
teh most powerful one was the audi quattro with 500 horsepower
Quattro had 711 hp
officially yes but then official numbers were bollox, i forget which 1 (think it was an rs200) was put on an 800 hp dyno and broke it! same car was timed 0-60 at 2.1 seconds ON GRAVEL!!!
No it didnt, the pikes peak car didnt even have that much, the most powerful group b cars had maybe 560 at the end
Group B and the Isle of Man TT are the two craziest motorsports in the world. Won't be long untill some fucker bans the TT event, it will be a sad day...
This goes beyond automotive pornography. This gratifies my soul.
You mean our soul
@@ginoalbertofranceschetti comrade
nothing sounds better imo than a group b car. hissing turbo, whining straight cut gears, shooting fire. this makes nascar look like go karts.

Rally cars are like angry pitbulls coming at you!
But when the field of nascar stockcars passes by its like armageddon.
I prefer Rally but enjoy both!
@@recipoldinasty Depends on the Mustang. The old ones like my '67 are awesome and so are the newest ones but 3rd and also 4th gen were absolutely horrendous (especially 3rd gen, practically a crime against humanity). And anyone who likes V6 Mustangs should be shot.
Best era of rallying we will ever see. The cars were *Psychopathic*
The only thing crazier than the cars were the lunatics willing to drive them, it’s amazing
The lunatic drivers and the lunatic photographers swinging into the vehicles path
Imagine if Type S took offf.
@@juliankern4867 Or the fans crazy enough to make obstacles out of anything and everything, even themselves.

Group B: Where the cars were demons, and the drivers... were gods!
Totally insane but true.. only a fistful drivers was able to handle these "monsters" - among them goddess Michèle Mouton. Fortunately I experienced these times. M. Loeb may be the most successful rallye-driver alltime, but in a Delta S4 he would not survive the first corner...
Not even remotely true, no one were able to, or have since been able to, handle these cars. When a primitive AWD system is all that stands between 600 bhp and a very loose surface, you can't have control. Praise the cars, cause they were amazing. Praise the drivers, but only their courage.
Kristian Brandt ... skill over courage any day, these drivers had both.
Tree L. Bolling Oh absolutely... Just not enough skill to control late 80's rally cars.
You did describe exactly the truly felling of GROUP B! 🍻
Group B: too much badassery, manliness, and womanliness ( Michelle Mouton) for this world. RIP brave pilots that died driving those monsters and gave us the best that motorsport can offer. Respect.
Henri Toivonen
Lancia Delta S4 with the Martini livery, stunning car!
martini livery always looked good, along with rothmans👌🏼
People:
Martini delta, castrol celica and the shell quattro.... are those rally cars?
Me:
NO, thats motherf$%#^@ group B
So stunning it ended group b forever
Total rebuild after the race for the Lancia!
Makes me happy to see these legends I want do do somthing to bring them back on the radar who owns lancia
Oh my GOD that Quattro slide @4:00 is absolutely insane!!!!
That car I would argue, holds the crown of best sounding automobile in motorsports history. I know there are countless incredible sounding cars but IMO, THAT sound of the Audi 5 cylinder engine defined the entire sport.
100% 👌
+FastRedPonyCar Yes, it is fantastic. I propose a joint crown, the full house Short Wheelbase Group B Quatro, and the original Porsche 917 Le Mans car, full naturally aspirated flat 12. There are quite a few clips of them up here on Ewe Choob, but none really sounds right. When fresh, in the old days, they had such a howling resonant sound, nothing since has ever sounded quite that good. This was the car Steve McQueen drove at Le Mans to make the movie. This was the sound every cartoon and kids show stole and dubbed over any 'fast car' back when I was a kid. That is what 'fast' should sound like.
+FastRedPonyCar Agreed, the short wheelbase Quattro just sounded so nasty!
+FastRedPonyCar Watch, it's really simple. That crown will never be held by a turbo car.
Zlatan Omeragic Or supercharged!
time to drop 60k on a 40 year old german box
proper cars, proper engines, proper gearboxes with proper big balled drivers. how it should be done now.
too bad a modern car would smoke these any day 😂
Not just big made of steel or smt
@@personofthefield yes, with the stupid help of electronic nannies, for pussies.
This is pure talent and a huge scrotum.
There was a clutch, a stick shift, no traction control (with twenty different settings) no ABS, no servo on the brakes, the steering was staight to the rack, if you want more, just let me know PAL!
WRC cars are a fine mix of technology that leaves very little to the pure driving.
WRC cars when compare to Group B, are for frustrated housewifes in need of penises...
Not possible. Now we have 2000 genders, snowflakes and electric bikes.
@@nenadd2523 yup, wish I could go back in time when people had more class, skill and taste
The sound of the Quattro with that turbo blow 😍❤️
Waste gates do not dump boost pressure...
..because it`s not a pop-off but also shows risks - because of extreme thermal stress
it's chatter 👍
you mean the dolphin mate call sound?
Thats the universe blowing...
Strange to think that the girl with Snoopy would now be in her 30s lol!
Even Snoopy and the child understood that group B was something out of the ordinary, but beautiful.
Into her 40s now, I wonder where she is 🤔
1:53
4:01 is so badass, even for group b standards...
4:20 god that flutter coming over the hill...
My favourite part of the video….just crazy!!
Absolutely legendary
Look at all this video footage. All of it has better audio than the gopro recordings of today. It's all about the sound!
Sadly, it's all about the size of the recording equipment. Back, when cameras were big and bulky, they had a large microphones with good low tones reception
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the cut at 2:20?
Incredible
high IQ
The talent back then is just crazy. The cars got so much power for the light chasis. No powersteering, and with the crowd getting so close to the track. Damn, I salute these drivers
Their technique was mind blowing. Some serious pedal work.
This was when rallying was rallying
its rallying today too
You don´t get it.
Kilian Vogt Yeah, now it is Rallying again since 2017
kiera Gillard CORRECT "true widow makers" crazy cars with crazy bastard driver's
Rally is still rally nowdays.
Just modern cars have characteristics different than Group B.
0:10 who ever filmed this exact clip right there is a legend, i don´t know why but THIS clip is group B at it´s perfection
sound, the drift, edging the road out, completely on limit, then this viewer crossing his hands above his head
i really don´t know why it´s this clip but it has something special
No one had ever seen anything like it back then. Sums up group B in a nutshell. That's why spectators turned up in their droves
this clip was recorded where?
If Group B were to come back, I'm sure it would be almost as popular as F1 is right now.
@@franciscorodr7966 I believe it was San Remo with Michelle Mouton, no clue on the year but don't quote me on that👌
It's all you need to show someone who doesnt know what the deal si about this damn Group B. 10 Seconds, close the video. All said.
guys reaction at 0:13. that pretty much sums everything up
The guy at 1:14... his orgasm... that car, its sound, the way its being peddled... gnnnnnnnn
I agree. Sums group B up completely. Always loved that shot.
this clip was recorded where?
@@franciscorodr7966 Sanremo 1984, driver is Stig Blomqvist.
@@LadaPoweri tnx for info...when they invent time machine i know where to go first
As a 90's kid, I grew up through the 00's hearing stories and seeing pictures of the legendary Group B division. My next exposure to these monsters was video games, and occasional short video clips. This video, however; these stunning machines, the sonorous, proud-sounding engines, the flames, the explosive power, the dangerous locations, it all genuinely almost had me in tears. This is one of the purest expressions of automotive passion and joy 🙌
I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥹
Simply the best...
Wild beasts, driven by the best fearless pilots.. We will never see that again
The Devil doesn't have a car, but if he did, it would be an S1 for sure :-) Group B Drivers and TT Riders = The real men of motorsports!
+Kevin I think it would be the mad Delta S4 in my opinion
@@bonofrancou2 I prefer the t16 but yeah I think the S4 suits more to the Devil
The Delta S4 was called “The Devil’s Coffin” by the Italians.
Think how much of a lunatic you need to be to beat the s4 without AWD LOL
The Devil would shit is pants most probably… 😅 These cars are for drivers, real drivers, they earned their skills risking their lives every time they pushed the envelope. We have lot of respect for them :)
Roehrl: Group B was the greatest thing in life for those of us who survived it.
I remember my dad taking me to Donington Park to watch a stage of the RAC rally. Think it was maybe 82. I remember watching all the Escorts, and chevettes etc go by, and then there was this crazy thundering sound and bright orange flashes reflected through the trees. Then suddenly a quattro flies past showering everyone in gravel, and dissapears back into the trees with flash of orange flames. Think it might have been mikola. I'll never forget it.
Like it says 'group B was for men'. And Michelle 😍
That’s an incredible memory bro. I really loved growing up in the early 80’s. Great time to be alive.
The start of this video even before the footage starts captures Group B perfectly. The quote and the savage noise of the Audi Quattro tell you everything you need to know.
jesus the power in those cars are sick
Another reason to love the 80's.
0:11 I can feel this guy so hard.. he will never forget this moment.
And I will probably never forget this video scene. What a time!
the mouton effect
Is there more of this part of the clip, I love it!
0:22 awesome sound
0:18
2:18 moses doing his thing
The sound, the liveries and the "grab the bull by the horns" style of driving back then was something else. I wish I could have experienced it firsthand, I'm beyond grateful that we have these videos to keep the golden era of rally from disappearing to the pages of history
i'd go back in time and record/film everything in HD / 4K - 120fps v__v
But nobody would believe u went to the past
Some things must be done for yourself. Regardless of whether it benefits society and whether society appreciates it are two different matters.
Or just tell them to use a better quality film camera, there were cinema cameras at the time that could do the film equivalent to that. Plus CZcams compression affects it, and was it taken off the original source or like a VHS copy?
the film 2001 a space odyseyy was filmed on film ofcourse and if it was in digital quality it would be 18k so time has nothing todo with it
It'd be awesome to see this all in 4k but the the older, grainier and just overall shit (good camera quality at the time but pretty bad compared to todays camera quality) is what makes some of this footage so special imo
There was more to Group B being banned than people realise.
Behind the scenes pressure being applied from a certain small man who controlled another form of motor sport.
That man hated it & hated its popularity. He set about to bring it to an end.
He succeeded.
Denis Sabljarić Exactly.
Jean Marie Belestre was the guy responsible for banning Group B instead of making Group B safer like Formula 1...
supertrix101 Balestre was having his head scrambled by Bernie - who was dripping pure poison into his ear at every opportunity. Group B didn't suit Bernie & he was hell-bent on persuading Balestre to put a stop to it.
It was agreed with manufacturers that Group B would carry on until 1990 along side Group S, which was to be less powerful and with less outrageous bodywork, etc. But with all the pressure from Bernie & others he ( Balestre ) hit the emergency stop, and canned it! Which he wasn't really allowed to do, because of the agreement.
It cost the manufacturers a lot of money & they were stuck with the machinery.
It's in the Group B book. A good book, by the way.
i'd rather watch old group b rally videos than modern formula 1....
+TheFujac Agreed, current F1 race is like piece of sh!t
Delta S4 sound is emotional
1:15 "WHOOOO---WHOOOOOO" HAHAHHA so funny
Blomqvist doing what he did best: Driving the quattro on the edge.
R2D2
this is one of the best, if not the best video of group b. The quality of the video itself, the engine sounds, the epic moments....
The "S" in Audi S1 actually stands for "Satan"
Nein es steht für langsamer ( S)chrott
Start of the video explains it all the guys hands on his head in shock fucking awesome, Group B needs to come back fuck safety!
Brian Heiden maybe It coud back time with actual safety
The fire breathing five cylinder from the quattro will always be the sound i remember for the mental era of group B
Thanks for the upload @amjayes2
Pure monsters. I'd give anything to see a single raceof it...
11 minutes of ear- and soul cleansing sounds, thanks for the upload !
Big thanks for putting this together. Bigger thanks for not drowning the cars out with obnoxious stock-metal music.
1984 you will be fondly remembered.
This was when rallying was exciting, its been a disappointment ever since.
1983, also just listen to Walter he had said that often. 1983
That Quattro sound............why is it not the official UN anthem for this planet? beats me!!
These footage are priceless,they are worth more than gold.
It was nice to see that there are some clips from the time that these rally cars used to race at the Hill of Sintra ( 0:36 ) located at the Portuguese riviera,30 km west from Lisbon.
And how sorry I am for not having been there to watch and hear these road devils live,it was close to 30 years ago and I was probably 1 or 2 years old...
Great video.
Poderias também ser uma das vítimas de 1986, ainda bem que não foste, 2 eram crianças...
We really see the speed of the Quattro and the 205. Insane!!
10:33 s4 rules , on the mud like a boss
Looks like 26 members of the Noise Abatement Society have found this video so far.
285 members by now :D
the audisport quattro s1's turbo whistling is hands down the best sound any car has ever made.
Incredible sound. Like it’s growling. Spitting out flames. Such a legendary car.
Rallying at its peak, those monster sounds makes the spine tingle. The Quattro is lethal.
The Quattro had a certain growl to it. Very noticeable. What an awesome car.
How the drivers where even able to react to the turns is a testament to their skill..# legends never die
These races were banned and investigations about these cars claimed that they were so fast that the human eye couldn’t keep up and would get tunnel vision making it too hard to see tight turns ahead.
Wow, this takes me back. I was only a kid when Group B came and went, but it left such an impression on me. Standing out in Sutton Park (UK) in the rain to watch these awesome machines come past, standing just feet away. It's a shame they're not around any more, but I'm just glad I was around when they were.
Group B is the was the pinnacle of motorsport, i dont care what anyone says
F1 has become lame.
Amazing 😱. Never got to see these in the flesh back in the day, but do get to watch many of them at Goodwood now. Brave and talented drivers, mega cars and huge crowds. 👍
Yes,it`s called left foot braking and can be helpful in a number of situations.The Quattro was notoriously understeered,so braking and accelerating was a way to force it into an oversteer and get it around the curve.
amjayes... thank you for all your mind blowing videos!
This was the craziest, manliest and best time of racing there ever was and ever will be. Complete disregard of human life, pure racing of crazy machines.
That guy in the first clip, holding his hands to his head.. that is the embodiment of the awe of Group B.
I am just speechless... wow great footage compilation, and such powerful sound! A true passion for me, thank you very much!
pure madness and beauti at the same time !!! insane speed and control by the drivers ,living on the edge !!! thanks for the upload!!!1
Definitely the golden age of rally cars !!
That is pure poetry emotion 😃👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Damn i miss those days. I will never forget the first time of an approaching Audi Quattro. Hell brake out and the most beautiful engine sound you can imagine.
These things were absolutely brutal, awesome on the fast roads here in NZ! Love them!
The greatest drivers in history drove Group B.... Love the Walter Rohrl clips.
Group B= Group Badass
Thank you so much for uploading this. I love rally racing and Group B is just pinnacle WRC.
Не корнованный король ралли группы "Б" немец Вальтер Рёрль. Он выступал и на Лянча и на Ауди quattro. Сейчас он тест-пилот в компании porsche. Легендарные пилоты, легендарные автомобили, гениальные инженеры и конструкторы, - замечательные времена были. За своё столь короткое существование группа "Б" подарила нам самые зрелищные автогонки с которыми не сравнится ни один другой вид автоспорта (по крайней мере для меня это так) которые радуют автолюбителей всего мира до сих пор!

Legcsodálatosabb korszaka a szakágnak. Fantasztikus!👌
this is extremely difficult on the sim, so i cant imagine how difficult it is irl, respect to these drivers
1:43 the sound, the speed its absolutely insane! I wish I had a time machine to go back in time just to look at this irl.
Memory never Die !! 🥰
I just love the sound of the 6r4
Group B rally needs to be brought back into action.
I love how Audis approach to a corner is to enter it in the direction you intend on pulling away from it in.
thanks... have been using your videos for study breaks the last few years! these cars and drivers are amazing... love the pure engine sounds... keep up the good work...
2:22 That transition was so satisfying
they banned gr. b cause f1 lost popularity to this insanity
Ha ha ha ;D
@Dj Hornet it was a joke buddy
@Android 21 The true reason is it was : too much death (driver, codriver, spectators) at the end.
Group b was the gloden age of motorsport as mucha as group C, F1, DTM.
@teo Im and dont forget the horrible crash in portugal
Great video - as you said on the tin - pure engine sounds, and no nonsense music in the background.
These are the sounds of youth and still they make my hairs stand on end
this engine sound brings a smile and tears to my eyes at the same time
This video is pure gold
2:18 - OMG.
2:24 that transition tho
L'âge d'or du Rallye. Des monstres de puissance. Des autos légendaires. Des pilotes incroyables. Une folle époque ❤
Thanks for uploading the "pure sound" material!
rip Hannu Mikkola. tamed that audi beat good.
1:47 ehhhhhhh ehhhhh da-lhe da-lhe
Simply the finest GpB video on CZcams. Magnificent.
one of my favourite videos! Thank you.
I wish they brought this back, the FIA needs to overcome its fear of disaster, the risk is what always made this sport great.
if u wanna win, you need a Fin ;)
These, and the 500cc gp two stroke bikes,THE greatest era of motorsport bar none!
Great to see some of the ‘also rans’ In this video. Citroen BTX 4C, Ferrari, BMW M1 and the Renault.
When the car flies at you, just be happy it chose you. It is the greatest moment in your life. Great video btw.
