  • On part two of our trip to Audi HQ in Ingolstadt, Germany, we stop by Audi Tradition, the brand's secret storage facility where they let me drive not one but TWO of the most iconic rally cars of all time. Walter Röhrl’s Monte Carlo winning Group B Sport Quattro S1 E2, and the top secret Group S prototype car (that only 5 people had driven previous to me). Childhood dream type stuff!!

    12:40 They seriously had the blood types of the driver and co-driver painted onto the friggin' DOOR OF THE CAR?!
    That is just unbelievably awesome. In our current climate of putting safety over everything else and tuning everything down to cater to the lowest common denominator for liability reasons, it's a bit of a trip to see they had a sport so wild (Group B rally) that they felt there was enough to justify painting your blood type on the side of the car.
    Also makes me wonder if the teams would keep a few pints of their drivers' favored juice on tap in case they needed to start a transfusion in the ditch while waiting for evac.
    Just unbelievably cool, Group B. The cars, the drivers...insane machines and titans among men came together for the most legendary contest of reflexes, guts, skill, and speed ever conceived in human history...even if only for a few years.

Lancia kicked their ass even on the gravel stages. So what if they removed some dangerous ice, any proper government would have done that anyway.
      '03 Audi A8L For those of you that don't know, that was $70,000 new, reduced to scrap. Audi is unreliable and expensive. If I can prevent one person from buying a used Audi, DON'T DO IT! One consolation, at least it is aluminium scrap.

  • @QuantumS1ngularity

    That S1 E2 still looks soooooooo menacing even now 35 years later. When Ken took the RS e-tron GT for a drift around it, the S1 had this look, this stance of "oh yeah, go around junior, have some fun. You have no idea what i'm capable of". This has to be one of the most badass cars ever made. The sound of that howling inline 5 alone can make most modern cars pee their catalytic converters. The hoonicorn sounds like an angry bear, some cars sound like WW2 fighter planes, some like machine guns, but the S1, especially deep in the woods sounds like something even more frightening than the devil himself, coming for your soul.
