I watch this video from i was 15 yo teenager. Now Im 30 years and still watching it. I think i will watch it again and again untill i DIE....

[@onedriftyboy]

I have a similar video, that I watched 12 years ago on my bigger brothers nokia. I will never forget it. It’s called „DC‘s it“, a snowboarding edit for all DC Snowboarding pros at that time. It’s a whole vibe and it’s physically impossible to be sad while watching it. There are truly some childhood gems on KZbin

[@RallyKillen]

This is the best Group B Tribute movies there is on youtube the music was perfekt for this. I love this song The Unforgiven Group B will allways be unforgiven rally class

[@RallyKillen]

Group B will always be in my heart forever GROUP B FOREVER!!!!!!!!! Group B was awsome i really love the cars and i can just say it agen Group B forever. I love the work on this movie its great i hope more then me will aggre with this that it was a great movie =)

[@rarelookintulip]

class video...those men are legends...bring back group B

[@Planetary13]

AMAZING! I would pay quite a bit to be there in person. I still like group b more than today's rally cars.

[@gruffski]

This is by far the most skillfull involved motorsport there is. Great job on the vid joost! =D

[@n1Erik]

Wow! Goosebumps!

[@Bulbs2]

They were indeed brave gentlemen in the Group B era

[@erl12end]

The music fits well imo

[@zawshuu]

actually, watched this vid about 15-20 times and I absolutely love it. 2:27 and 2:50, such a beautiful moments... ; )

[@_TommyBoy]

Quattro is the revolution of Rally...

[@krudmuphinstudioz]

OH MY GOD! I FOUND SOMETHING AMAZING! YOU ALL HAVE TO TRY THIS!!! Find the video of the song "Lux Aeterna" by CLiff Mansel. Make sure it's the 6:31 version. Then, play it at exactly the same time as this video. You'll be amazed at how well the song matches up. It's almost like that song was made for this video. TRY IT!!!

[@walters1992]

bring back group b

[@19SAS]

at 1.15 they did hit the camera apparently worth £30,000 (according to reports) it was a portuguese film crew, so even portuguese film crew like to get hit by cars.

[@id0licious]

Well said.

[@33floccari33]

2:27 fantastic!!!

[@Enwod]

Totally agree with the rally drivers having more skill than F1 drivers (have been having an argument with my mate about this and he won't believe me; or that Top Fuel Dragsters can do 0-100mph in 0.8secs) Anywho. I rekon they should re-introduce Group B cars, it was just the stupid crowd getting into dodgy places. Not the cars being dangerous, just look at this vid. Bring 'em back i say. :D Also, cheers for this vid!

[@mirkoVdA]

why you need to put music over the group b fantastic sound?

[@henkkaS4]

I often found asking myself, where did josti88 dissapeard?

[@Donnerfink]

@molefc haha yeah, think that scene discribes group b best :)

[@PorscheRS]

For me, this video is very emotional, and I don't think I'm alone.

[@default1976]

"And on one test road there same time they were doing a formula one race and it was exactly same length than this formula one race where we were testing on the gravel road and we were just four seconds slower than their lap time so we said it's really going fast."

[@frazerguest2864]

default1976 : I think Hannu is referring to the test that Lancia did at Estoril a week before the Portuguese F1 GP. The story goes that Henri Toivonen took out Tyrell F1 driver Jonathan Palmer for a quick lap in his Delta S4, and in doing so set a time that would have seen him 10th in the grid for the following weeks F1 race.

[@Devilman666]

I remember being 14 and watching this video every day more than 10 years ago.

[@nippelfrost]

Every time I feel down I go back to this video and get goose bumps all over again. This video is perfect, period.

[@frazerguest2864]

Perfectly put !

[@eamh2002]

Fools trying to say "with new wrc technology todays cars might be quicker" :D Lets see with 80's roads and 80's tyres how slow the new cars would be..

[@Blaznchicken]

eamh2002 imagine these cars with today’s technology.. fuck me, they’d probably be faster then F1

[@codysykes5568]

And 80's brakes :v

[@boomyoulookingforthis1362]

They are faster now. Group B will always be cooler though.

[@eamh2002]

@@boomyoulookingforthis1362 Yeah its the same with Formula 1, they advance in different things and get quicker despite weight. When you look at audis s1 it looks hard to turn into corners. If you'd drop a modern chassis into its body and tweak the aero, give the group b engine fresh turbos and variable valve timing and other things it would blow away new cars but thats a new car altogether too :)

[@boomyoulookingforthis1362]

@@eamh2002 Could you imagine seeing that? Not the chassis, but how fast the car could be.

nothing compares to group B...

[@RamboLambo002]

Group B rally, 80-90's DTM and Group C Lemans... are the greatest racing championship ever... awesome machines, real cars for real men with fucking big balls!...

[@Joop.23-2-63]

Decade earlier group 5 and CAM-AM

[@frazerguest2864]

And I’d add Group A in Aussie Touring Cars to that list as well. Those of us in our 40’s & 50’s were so very lucky to have lived through this period.

[@FabianHunor]

Motorsports in general were at their best in the 80s. F1, rally, endurance racing, touring car and oval racing all had their craziest up to that point, and even though the speeds and lap times are just as if not better then back in 80s...you can't really "feel" it (as a spectator at least).

[@peerieman2]

just hearing the sound of those epic engines gave me the feels...

[@viliboy]

This must be one of the manliest videos on KZbin.

[@RaffaMitoev]

Metallica-Group B... what else?

[@hordesoflocust]

2:28 says it all...the guys reaction is priceless

[@frazerguest2864]

hordesoflocust : Yep. That for me sums up Group B perfectly.

[@TheFede8888]

Delta s4, the ultimate beast of rally...

[@Ishmael95]

Hard to disagree with you, but for me all these Group B rally cars were equally epic.

[@lambokid20]

Raptowny Its gotta be the quattro S1, revolutionary piece of kit, that was the beginning of the end for two wheel drives in WRC, and ultimately even though their car was so much further advanced in comparison to the likes of the 205 and the RS200, audi ultimately took the blame for the death of Group B, because the other teams were playing catch up in regards to the vehicles so much they kept taking risks, also combined with the lack of proper safety regulations (crowd control mainly). if simple changes such as making sure the crowd were out of the way of the car, like they do today, the big RS200 crash would never have happened, that was purely the crowds fault for getting in the way of a 500bhp ford doing roughly 85/90mph on dirt right before a tight corner, if proper crowd control measures were involved, the collateral damage would have been minimal.. but it was sadly too late to save these beautiful works of art from the crusher, and saved from being banished from rally

[@1999Almaz]

@@lambokid20 lol, lancia 037 showed what S1 Quattro wasn't so revolutionary. But Lancia S4 or 205 GTI were

[@lambokid20]

@@1999Almaz lancia had a good car in both the 037 and the delta S4, BUT they relied on underhand tactics to try and gain an advantage over competitors, like on the rallies where dust was a big issue, they would distract the Marshall pretending there was an issue with the car for just long enough to let the dust settle a bit, thus having a clearer run to try and get a faster time, admitted the 037 was a magnificent machine with it being the first car implementing both a turbo and a supercharger (twincharged) but the quattro system marked the beginning of the end for top end WRC cars being 2wd, now 2wd have separate categories and the main group A is always AWD cars. But there is no disagreements that these drivers were truly skilled people, no electronic aids in a 500+bhp car relying on a purely mechanical machine, granted there are some talented drivers today but in comparison I don't think the drivers who compete today would be able to match a time in a group B car that the drivers of the time set, maybe time will tell if the FIA will Bring back these weapons in some form or another that isn't restricted to rallyX or time attack up pikes peak.

[@1999Almaz]

@@lambokid20 I agree. None of the current pilots will not be able to repeat the success of Röhrl or Mouton (for example). The current rally is just a circus without animals. And yet I think that the Quattro S1 was a great car, but it still lost the rear-wheel drive 037 (yes Lancia used a trick, but after all, Audi did not honestly enter the all-wheel drive in the rally). And this is the first and only victory in history.

The Group B was the Heavy Metal of Sport Cars Championships , nice music selection.

Yesterday Hannu Mikkola is gone. And I'm here to pay respect to him. Rest in peace, Hannu! F 😭😭

[@Josti88]

Numerous videos with sound only (including ones I've uploaded), I think there's always place for a tribute video with music.

[@Josti88]

If you want the sounds of the car only, I suggest you take a look at my other videos Shatnersbassoon. Be aware, most of the footage is from documentary's with a voice-over. Wouldn't be nice to leave that in don't you think. IMO, certain music makes the video even more special and intresting. Both for creator and viewer.

[@Victortrotska]

I'm just glad I was able to see for real these legends before they were out of retirement! You can't forget them! The engines' noises, the vibrations the unique shapes...

Exellent. Everytime i take beer or two, I have to check these B group clips through :)

[@frazerguest2864]

That one clip @2:26 to 2:33 just perfectly sums up Groupe B. The insane speed, the ferocious sound, the armful of opposite lock using up every last mm of road, and the spectator totally shocked by what he has just witnessed.

[@N4CR]

This 100%. Greatest Group B video clip of them all IMO. That spectator reaction says it all... hands on the head.

[@240SSONLY]

much respect to the amazing epic drivers, balls of steel co-pilots, and the uneducated spectators that made this great video possible

[@SavTheSpartan]

That is the best moment of the video. Ive watched it numerous times and it gets me every single time.

[@boosra]

Fuck that. You can take a kid from a computer game and he WILL drive competitively on a track. It is skillful, but skillful repetition. Improvisational skill, as in '80's rally, hell even '80's football, is a completely different kettle of fish. Perhaps not nowadays - but who gives a fuck about nowadays? All sports (except cycling) are dead - as consolation we get to watch their collective '80's heyday on da internet.

[@jamesevanhenry]

I've honestly watched this video more times than I could count. This is the only car video I like with music. Every time I watch this video, the hair on my arms and legs stand up on end. Its such a chilling thing to watch. However, at the same time, my eyes get watery. Not because of how awesome it is, but rather due to the fact we will never see such cars and such talent like this again, across all motorsports. Group B is the pinnacle of all automobile racing.

[@ineedajoint]

i need this level of mechanicaal brutality in my life :(

[@Oldskoolride79]

There is a god! The best rally vid is back with its original soundtrack, metallica and group B forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

come on... why the best things die first? group b was the best rally ever thumbs up if you agree!!

[@TheAli985]

Yea I missed most of it aswell. 1990's still had some fairly good racing though

[@theglowyfoxbox]

@marky mark todays rally, they all rely on computer systems to do what these drivers learned to do just by pure skill alone. nowadays no one is truly in tune with their own vehicle, just the computers are. the computers make adjustments during a slip, but these drivers made the adjustments themselves, they knew their machines in and out, and wielded them with the utmost professionalism.

El mejor tributo al grupo b

[@jamesevanhenry]

Thank you for posting this video. Sadly Ill never know the greatness of Group B :(

[@PanosDCC]

Those were the best days of rallying. All major manufactures were taking place (Peugeot, Audi, Lancia and several others), now we have only Citroen and Ford. All the great drivers of rallying history (Alen, Rorhl, Mikkola to name a few) were participating. All the most important races were at the calendar (Monte Carlo, Acropolis, Safari) and not silly races such as Turkey, Bulgaria and Jordan. Nowdays, WRC is just shite. Give all the respect for Group B drivers and cars. Simply LEGENDS...
