Group B - Pure sound 2

[@skogpekka]

The sound of the Audi R5...in the final Evo-version in the Group B rallies...man, what a sound... An orchestra for kings, as it goes from low revs to the redline... I've heard it at a local track here in Norway, and it leaves me speechless.. Beats almost anything out there :)

[@SilentHunter84]

I feel both of you. I am myself a fan and an addicted to the Delta S4 supecharger and turbocharger sound... I love all Group B!!!! Those were the greatest times of Rallying! Cheers!

[@monks311]

All the Cars in Group B waz Perfect...The Drivers Were the Gods and the Sound is like A 1000 HP Concert...One day they Will come back and i will be there to see the Legents Ride and Drift again!! Cheers From Los Angeles!!

[@sssudra]

tooo Good ! All our VHS tapes with classic rallies are gone but thank for all the great mems on you tube

[@C4MOUFL4G3]

Thank you m8 for this excelent video about these amazing cars. The best machines and the best pilots ever... Group B i miss you so much!!!

[@akamikeg]

sintra, portugal!! brilliant video mate, finally people with the sense to just let us enjoy the wonderful sound of these engines! cheers!

[@Karibanu]

The T16 last corner in the film... was just beautiful. Most of what I miss of rallying was the endurance side of it, the enormous stages and the intermediate road stages, the times when fx the RAC went right round the UK. Group B were absolute monsters, but they are really the equivalent of a muscle car :P

[@PedroNovaes82]

most of the tarmac sections are at the old Portugal rally, back in the 80's, in the Sintra stage. This road still exists but no rally goes thru it nowadays...Still, great place to go!

[@xf8b1]

It's amazing how as these cars evolve that the front ends start to look like they have cowpushers on them to get the people out the way. Very nice video!!!

[@epock7]

Group B Celica at 1:58 Good find, good find. Thanks so much for posting this video. It is a great compilation.

[@RoninTXBR549]

"Pure Sound"... yes indeed ... Thanks for keeping the sound pure!

[@exsorz]

i love group b cars :_(

[@tCson]

Your video brought tears of joy to my eyes and pleasured my ears!!!

[@Josti88]

It's actually a Ford Escort MKII. Some of those cars were converted into lower class Group B, that where homologated until 1985.

[@Lyricoholic]

great cars, great sound and great drivers this is really the old school of rally driving i like the great 2 videos od GroupB

[@ALIBOMBIYEH]

ah mate... i don't think you're biased... i think you have a passion for the Audi's (like myself) They made history when they introduced 4-wheel drive in Rallying (early 80's)... everyone thought it was too difficult to do so, but they did it. The S1 Quattro was also the first rally to be turbo-charged. To this day, the sound of that 5-cylinder turbo charged animal sends a chill down my spine... & continues to give me goose bumps out of control. "Group B Pure Sound" videos = Addiction Cheers

[@caradaoc]

de très belles images... ça fait plaisir de revoir ce genres de courses ! au moins on voit les pilotes ! pas d'électronique, alors que maintenant tout est asceptisé !!!

[@RallyKillen]

Yes Matsoukeos its a Toyota at 2:00 and its a Opel Manta 400 at 2:55 I love Group B! I love Group B so much I have all Group B pure Sounds movies.. GREAT WORK Josti88 5stars agen, no qustion about that.

[@Carnifer]

I wish i could find more compilations of interesting subjects in general that are not dubbed with someone's lousy favourite song(s). Much appreciated.

[@otacon98]

one of the greatest videos of all time.

[@max27890]

I just saw this video to have the confirmation of what I already know: Lancia Delta s4 is simply the best of all these cars. I can say this by hearing his perfect sound at every phase of the accelerationand by seeing how perfectly it flies on every condition of the road. sorry to all for my english, but i MUST say to you all what I've ever known about this perfect car.

[@Josti88]

That's a Ford Escort MKII (RS1800). Normally a Group 4 car, but some of them were converted to lower Group B class.

[@o0oMusTaNgLoVero0o]

For me, the cars that had the best sound was the Lancia Delta S4(0:20), Audi Quattro(1:46 and 3:57) and Peugeot 205(2:13). They Didn't sound like just cars, they sounded like F1 cars on dirt!!! I hope that someday, cars like these will return and compete in WRC. Thanks for the video!!5 stars 4 u!!!

[@SSsacas]

The current WRCars have a restriction in the turbo's inlet, so that's why they don't have this sound and power. The works Ford team says they would reach easily the 700bhp with their new Focus if the restriction wasn't there. Back in the Group B times there were no restriction, both in the turbo and the engine size/layout.

[@katchup7597]

brings back memories of dark nights standing in welsh forrests.....pitty we moved away from them times

[@CelticWarrior011]

Gotta love that noise, absolutely amazing

[@marlonpob]

the very last clip is the best, that 205 was close to the end of the gearbox prob 100-120mph in forest on loose road. its a shame we will never see these again

[@6potpig]

Awesome awesome compilation. Thanks for posting, it brings back such memories :)

[@bradman7281]

0:29 goddamn those pendulum swings... They made them look so easy, even with the understeer mess that car was.

[@zorzet85]

Very good video!! una volti si che avevano le palle i rallisti!! cazz... come pennellano le strde di traverso!!spettacolo!!!

[@5880199]

Group B Engines + WRC suspension = eighth wonder of the world :)

[@zlimness]

Well, what you're saying is partially true. The Group B cars would probably smoke most of the new cars on some tracks because they weighed less and had double the power. But since then, huge advancements have been made with suspensions and differentials. They can go much harder through corners nowadays. I wouldn't call the drivers of today less skilled than those during the 80's. But they certainly did have to compensate for the car back then.

[@MrTeeman66]

@killachipmunk If you are talking about the yellow and white one, it is the Audi Quattro. If you are talking about the blue and white one, my guess is that it is a Renault 5 turbo.

[@dafchivo]

increible video, lo que tambien es increible son los 22 que no saben apreciar algo tan maravilloso. buen trabajo Joost!!!

[@UBIQUEROL]

@gmcrocket It isn't a 240RS, it is a Toyota Celica Turbo.

[@SevcaCZ]

At 3:39,this is No.6 car Lancia 037 Rally, San Remo 1985, Markku Alen... Henri Toivonen drove no.1 car, also 037 Rally.

[@vintageman91]

The Metro 6r4 is not the only one whos normally aspirated, well of the biggest Grp B cars it is.

[@c2kevin]

i'm agree grunn15!!! these are the best cars ever!!! what a time!! what a noize!! what a cars and what a drivers!!! respect!!! sorry for my englis!! greetz from ypres(belgium) and josti88 great videos!!!

[@insanevids]

DAMN i got chills!! You gotta love this!!!

[@steallinen]

beautiful..... just....... beautiful.....

[@chalcuchima]

indeed great video man i LOVE cars and their sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marsvltor2]

Surely the greatest era in motorsport. Would be fun just to see Rohrl, Mikkola, Salonen, Kankkunen and co let loose in those cars now: they'd still run rings around the kids of today!! As for the lack of music, I couldn't agree more. Competition cars a a TOTAL experience, including the music (made by the engine/gearbox, not some stupid band)...

[@JeanAlesi90]

that little pug at 1:20 sounds incredible. and the one at 2:25 sounds like old turbo F1 car. wow what great cars

[@jpspider]

The sound of this cars said: GET OUT OF THE WAY!!! Thank you for this video

[@zero2blur]

Finally a video with no music!! Awesome! I love it!!

[@klonkku10]

OH MY GOD!!! i love the BDA Escort (1:38) look the sand which is flying from the rear tires PURE POWER!!!!

[@deadjumpers87]

best 2 videos on youtube mate, nice work.

[@marsvltor2]

Tony Pond on the original Portugal incident: 'one inch either side and you're into the crowd: I'm not prepared to do this'. Markku Alen 'I not go any further' It was the spectators in the southern European countries who killed GpB (and also Lancia's 'magic', which mean't that the S4 ended up as a very quick petrol bomb...')

[@saz9170]

@lukasdillon - Its a Manta 400 which had 275 bhp

[@Dawgside]

hmmm...im guessing Opel (Vauxhall i think its called in the UK/US) but its a guess!

[@mattd28]

best 2 rally vids on here, and no music, awesome!!

[@kestaspensando]

lot of thanks. original sound. perfect!!!

[@RallyKillen]

@cliffthelightning No, its not a Nissan that is a Toyota Celica Turbo 2WD.

[@babasdadda]

yep, those were the days my friends.....unfortunatly, they did end :( Long live group B!!

[@Pcr06]

@jeffersontool How do the wrc look better? The 037 is the most beautiful machine ever made!

[@Cross6666]

so awsome, that puts a tear im my eye.....those were the days

[@jbmserra]

Most of this clips are from the portuguese rally!! Eventually group B era came to an end during the ´86 rally after a rs2000 mauled into the public... During the eighties, crowding rally roads was quite a national sport

[@19SAS]

As a matter of fact (i have not made this up) a short wheel based sport quattro in about 1984 (not S1) was timed to 60 in 2.1? (cannot not remenmeber the last digit its time on gravel would only have been marginly slower.

[@marsvltor2]

For those who cannot remember the era, here are the timings for FIRST appearances of each car: 0.08: Lancia Rallye 037 Evoluzione 0.17: Renault 5 Turbo 0.21: Lancia Delta S4 0.30: Audi Quattro Sport 0.53: Peugeot 205T16 E2 1.10: MG Metro 6R4 1.30: Peugeot 205T16 (early version) 1.39: Ford Escort RS2000 (Gp4 car) 1.47: Audi Quattro Sport S1 1.53: Porsche 911 variant lol 1.58: Toyota Turbowhatsit 2.53: Opel Manta 400 4.13: Ford RS200 The End

[@Talauna]

Wait... Gunpowder Camera Flashes? If you are talking about the backfire these cars do, that sounds like a gunshot.... its the Anti-Lag system for the huge turbos they drop on the cars

[@RearAxleDivergence]

@humanstrain1 I came here for the French Turbos and the Lancia Delta, and now I leave NEEDING TO KNOW what that insane little beast at 2:24 is

[@umiskivinick]

this is a bit before my time but watching this these cars are absolutely savage! how crazy is the crowd, how did people not get killed in every stage?

[@19SAS]

conti.. 2 When Senna died, they did not ban GP cars, their speeds went up and up. What they did do was make it safer. Change certain dangerous corners etc. Improved vehicle safety and crash absorbing materials. WRC cars are just as fast on twisty stages, so what is the difference. My humble opinion is that it was easier for FISA to turn their backs, rather than tackle the problem. P.S. Sorry for going on a bit.

[@gilibran]

I cannot remember his name, but 2 years ago i visited the rally of Catalunya under the guidance of a former belgian group B driver. He told me that Loeb had tried a group B car once and that a suberp driver as Loeb is, he just could not imagine that people once raced these machines on the same roads Loeb now drives his Citroen. I was told he came out and said the following: I was scared, these cars have to be a joke they cannot be driven by normal people only by heroes

[@par1c]

I hope there will be a many Pure sounds :)

[@dadozjdm]

most beutiful video...pure passion! 5 star

[@Grunn15]

Great video! I've been missing the sound of these engines in the current WRC. I would love to see the Group B cars return. But what is the little white car @1:12? Isn't it an R5 Turbo? And something else, current WRC cars have only 300hp instead of 350.

[@marlonpob]

engines were amazing, but for a short while only, at full throttle you could only get 10 hours use out of 1 before a complete overhaul and rebuild was needed. but yea i agree what power and noise!

[@chuck500cc]

Great cars. Plus you can thin the population with them. Crazy fast!!

[@agentolshki]

bring back group b yes yes yes!! mixture of old and new versions with barriers! watch regular rally get abandoned in the blink of an eye.

[@markandrach]

@CrazyLilBiscwit no,within 2 years the group A cars were doing quicker times.its all available in the records on the net to see for yourself

[@rui9500]

HEI JOSTI88....YOU THE BEST MAN....THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS...

[@TheLRider]

Lancia/ S4 and Pugeot T16s turned out to be the cars to beat with Toivonen and Vattanen; epic cars epic drivers.

[@6lemans10]

These cars had MANUAL transmissions! These drivers have to shift, turn and get the best speed off the corners all at once!

[@migz808]

CHEERS!!CHEEERS! Finally a rally video with pure motor sounds! I am sick of the other rally videos drowned out by lame music.

[@ramjam1]

Love the sound!!! Proper racing!!

[@hugehelmet]

I'm lucky enough to be as old as some of these cars,and there isn't a current car out there today,that can hold a candle to these cars of the era.Drivers now are tucked up in bed by 10pm,whereas drivers then went non stop for up to 4 days,which tested their stamina,especially with machinery that could churn out 500bhp+.Yes they could be dangerous,but by fuck were they spectacular.Even the humble 6R4 could have been better with more development.Shame it never was.Long live Group B.

[@SonnyJmSonnyJm]

i wont be needing brazzers tonight....

[@Karl21836]

yeah you are right as far as i know the Lancia S4 "only" produced 600 bhp

[@cypriot1970]

@n15M0 deffinitely its MG metro 6R4 mate:)

[@littlenige]

I watched this vid for the sound of the 6R4 but my god that Quattro sound takes some beating!!

[@Fe3R100]

i love that part: 0:00 - 4:51

[@diegokroman]

100 % agree... groupe B was the best... those cars were driven by people with more than 2 balls :D

[@TheAquarius1978]

lancia S4 integralle, audi quattro, renault 5 turbo 1, lancia 037, lancia stratus, peugeout 205 T16, those were epic rally cars

[@madworkzer]

S1 sounds definetely best! Theese were insane cars indeed...!

[@DennisGeerts]

That 205 at the end , it just keeps going ! wauw

[@tscheiti]

great compilation & great soundtrack! i don't know - have these drivers been heroes or just mad? i think both... brilliant idiots...

[@Carnifer]

...and what's that little boxy number @ 1:40? Looks awesomely out of place. If I just saw a still i'd swear it was a 410.

[@RonaldPottol]

In Africa, they just about did. The first car through on a stage would be going slowly and pushing people out of the way, and deaths were all too common (say, a kid runs across the road, their younger siblings follow, and get hit). Or so I read in Gran Prix International late in the Group B era.

[@RearAxleDivergence]

@MrTeeman66 Nawh, it's not the Quattro; I'd have known that ;) I thought it was the Renault 5 at first, but it looked all wrong. Had a look around and I'm now pretty sure it's a Metro!

[@Digimahn]

They should bring back a similar class with less limitations. It will give manufacturers a lot of room to move and test their capabilities. This will bring back the power and with todays technology, anything can happen....

[@19SAS]

conti.. from previous. If you think about it GP cars were just a dangerous then. There were many options to slows the "roads" to make it safer such as chicanes etc. The rallies were to long, and this could have been shortened as well. The 1987 group A cars were just as (if not more) dangerous than G.B. It was just a lack of wanting to do something which killed Group B, not the cars themselves. FISA also wanted GP to be the premier sport and i believe this to be a big part of NOT BOTHERING.

[@19SAS]

i take your point but nissan had no awd group b cars, they had the 240rs, which was very old and lacked development, and yes austin rover was financially in the doldrums, they also underestimated turbo charging development. your right though big turbo power was the way to go

[@vintageman91]

The lancia 037 actually look a bit like a ferarri.And to stand around 1 meter from the metro would make anybody deaf.

[@hasouras19]

the metro looked like a box but it was a bloody fast one!

[@lukeharvey2006]

Awesome video!

[@Lyricoholic]

Today they use allways Fwd and Awd Are Fwd not more allowed for Rallying?

[@Grunn15]

Oh i´ve found out what the little white car is. Offcourse, its a Austin Mini Metro! I could have thougt of that!

[@clotzz]

@SotaNakki you forgot: it accellerated that fast ON GRAVEL!!!

[@vintageman91]

What i have noticed is that when they drive a 4wd Gp B car in very sharp corners they doesnt use the handbrake, instead they drive the car to the edge of the road to get around theese corners, why?
