Crazy Group B Mazda RX7 - with pure engine sounds

[@Oblio1942]

2:14 well thats one way to take that turn...

lol

[@dr.dylansgame5583]

Reverse entry to the max lol

[@askdaaskda1757]

And it was quite good actually

[@Mark3nd]

That was the first reverse turn no one actually did! We the gamers cam way too late

[@bam_henry]

That's not where the car was supposed to go. It clearly tried merging back onto the rally course.

[@roguedolphin]

Just Love all the spectators hanging around the road edges just waiting to become bloody human bowling pins at the expense of these uncontrollable RX7 beasts! Marvelous!

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

Yes, indeed Jos Paul was wellknown in Belgium for his RX7 rallycars. Sometimes they even do appear in a Belgian historic rally. A guy I know drives a 350 BHP Rx3 (with beefed-up Rx7 engine) round the track. With the 400's, the Quattro's and the Escorts Mk1 and Mk2 the Rx7 is one of my all-time favorite rally cars.

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

These only had about half the power of the top Group B cars. After seeing this video.. Thank god for that.

[@Malibus_Most_Wanted]

they were running 300hp but ithink mazda was planning a awd turbo fc but since group b was banned the fc stayed n/a but the awd did get put in and boi was it fast

[@vintageman91]

The top cars reached 600 bhp but they where 4wd, This car is rwd, most rwd group b cars generally had 270-360 bhp (bmw m1 430bhp ). Mazda had plans for group S with a 4wd car that was going to use a 3 rotor engine.

[@dr.dylansgame5583]

@@vintageman91 well you see the thing is they said 600 or so but that was a bold faced lie to trick competitors the truth is some of the cars actually reached much higher then that audi was gonna build a 1000 hp qauttro but scrapped the idea since the drivers said it was impossible to drive even on a hill climb let alone downhill and would only really work on a circuit track with a steep incline

Blood bath.

[@BadTPS]

Please do not take this video down ever!

[@tomlepski8306]

In group B trim,this car must've been going through rear Tyres like crazy due to the excessive spinning ocassioned by too much power on a very light body. Little wonder MRTE went nowhere with the group B RX7 in those glory years unlike the group A 323 Turbo which at least won Sweden and one or two other WRC events.

[@Malibus_Most_Wanted]

tom lepski they just could afford a better driver i feel these are all driver error also i don't think they needed a turbo a bridge ported 13b would make plenty and rev just as fast but have linear power than just a dump a fuck load of power

Whole beginning part looks like the same car going through the same two corners repeatedly. And some of these drivers didn't look like they were really on their game that day!

This are all Mazda RX'7 in Belgian National Rallychampionship..+/- 1989/1990... and I had the honnor to participate in this same rally's with my Ford Escort RS 2000 / RS. This cars were rented by Jos Boon....if I'm not mistaken. ( Hannut, Jalhay, El Pannetrie )

[@alexly99ala]

The group b cars had 800 horsepower

[@theant9821]

None of the cars have ever competed in the wrc with more than 700bhp and only the Quattro and a couple of others in 86 could go over 600 and that was only for short periods or they'd have a cooked engine or transmission/diffs, turbo, etc. Full boost every group b car putting out more than 550 would have melted the pistons on the 1st stage, if the transmission wasn't destroyed on the start line of the 1st stage. If you wanted a 650bhp Quattro then it was only briefly now and again, the group b cars were famously fragile. When Russell Brookes was interviewed about the brand new sport Quattro s1 on its first outing with Michelle mouton in 85 on the manx when asked if he was worried about the new Quattro Brookes just said "no it'll blow up" and it did, the rwd N/A opel manta won the event. Stupid power Quattros survived pikes peak for several reasons 1. Rolling start 2. Gravel surface 3. 1 Short stage between services 4. They only had less than 750 nowhere near 800. Nor did any of the t16 Peugeot.

[@vintageman91]

Audi quattro A1, A2= 320-360 bhp Audi sport quattro = 420-550 bhp Audi quattro E2 =530-600 bhp Ford rs200 = 444 bhp 205 t16 E1/E2 = 350/430-500 bhp Delta s4 =450-550 bhp 037 = 280-325 bhp Renault maxi 5 turbo = 360 bhp
