Hi people, whilst looking for a photo for the gallic charms, I found the following site its a French tribute to the Pug 205T16. But it also contains lots of groovy funky Group B photos in the media section rallye.stars.free.fr/autos/Medias.htm |

;D ;D Best era of rallying ever ! Not a Scooby or Lancer in sight and no wincing drivers saying they need sleep and cannot drive in the dark.During the Grp-B days we were in forests at 2am being shot at with stones and flames from the most awesome cars ever,pity it was banned  Anyone going to Castle combe in August for a real rally car fix ? |

;D Rally Supercar Day on the 14th i think.Basically anything that is old and was involved in rallying comes and has a play on the track or in static displays.It normally attracts a good number of real rally cars from the 70's & 80's but you still have to put up with the various owners clubs that like Scooby's and Mitsa's which to my eye all look the same in either blue or silver....nice to be unique eh  ? Last year Stig Blomquist came over with a 700bhp Ford RS200 he used on Pikes Peak and you are sure to find something of interest at the show.We will be there on the Skoda Owners Club stand which has supported the show since day one with a mixed bag of dodgy geezers and their cars(hope to have Snotty up and running for then) |

Aaah Group B.
My first visit to the RAC was to watch the 205 T16's wiping the floor with everything. What a noise, flames, gravel.
Even better before the RAC was the historic cars. loads of escies etc but the best was a full bloodied Stratos in killer mode. Fantastic howling engine through the trees and away into the distance (oooh me bloods gone all cold again)
Everyone to the rally show quick. If only I still had the Samba, still I'm on the track of a rally prepared ZS in france so I will probably be divorced by end of July!!
;D

1984 was my first RAC with Mouton in the sport quattro and of course the first outing to the UK of the T.16.985 was my favourite year in grp-B because i got to see more of the things on the British Championship and the RAC that year had two sport quattro S.1's.You might think by now i have an Audi fetish, but they were the team along with Skoda that had me fixed with this form of motorsport till it went tit's up in 86 and became boring,boring and boring ! thank god for Retro eh !!!! Who's coming to Castle Combe then ? Come to the Skud stand and show yourselves !!!!

I am going to try and make Castle Combe, wont take too long from the midlands down there in the *pimp mobile. Seeing some of Audi's Q collection at Donnington in 2001 reminded how great Group B vehicles are.
my dad used to take me to Sutton Park in the late 70`s early 80`s to watch the RAC blast thru. One memorable moment was the course doctor coming thru in his Capri going to an accident, only problem being that he wrapped it around a tree!.
*pimp mobile = BMW E34 535
