What you missed was the 1987 Paris-Dakar Rally. So after the 1986 end to Group B, Peugeot and all major rally teams had a pickle and for Peugeot, it was even worse as now on their hands, they had a winning rally car but no way to use it with and thus, someone came up with an idea. As the Paris-Dakar rally had close to no rules on how much your car should be, Peugeot knew that their car was great enough to compete thus Jean Todt did not order his mechanics to do much about the cars even and just sent Ari Vatanen and the cars over to the start of the rally, just as how it was competing in 1986 with just a sponsorship change now and goodness it was a slaughter.. Peugeot slammed all the other competitors outright and won the whole event overall across multiple countries in the same setup that they used in 1986 across the whole WRC season. That's just awesome in its own right.

Actually, not sure when, but they updated the car and gave it an extended wheelbase. It looked really weird, since they added a bit between the doors and the rear side windows! The 405 which replaced it was a superior car, famously being beaten by the 205 when Ari Vatanen's leading 405 car was stolen overnight one year! Both the 205 and the 405 also competed in the Pikes Peak Hillclimb, with the 405 winning it twice.

Interesting fact: Peugeot used special wind tunnels under the car that kept the car planted to the ground, that were banned after Henri Toivonen's crash, but Peugeot still used it. They weren't able to create new floor beacuse homologation of new parts wasn't allowed anymore. They were banned from participating in Rally San Marino(I think that's the one). Peugeot won the manufacturer's title, but driver's title was still unfinished. In the last rally of the season, Lancia's Marku Allen and Peugeot's Juha Kankkunen were fighting for the title and Marku Allen managed to get more points that Juha and won the Title, but some days later, it was decides that banning Peugeot from Rally San Marino was illegal, so they cancelled points from that rally. Eventually Juha Kankkunen won the title.

Fins are THE BEST rally racers to me

The abysmal crowd control wasn't a feature of group B specifically. It was a feature of the Portuguese Rally in particular, with a couple of others being nearly as bad. Crowds at rallies such as the Thousand Lakes, Sweden and GB (the RAC Rally as it was known at the time) were either kept under control by officials or were sensible enough to not get stupidly close to places where a car might go off.

Not sure if you didn't make a mistake there about the anullment. FISA anulled the results of the 1986 San Remo Rally, because the Italian event stewards disqualified the whole Peugeot team for using illegal side skirts (which were deemed legal at other events, so Peugeot protested the decision later). Many thought this was the Italian stewards trying to help Lancia win the event (which they did in the end). FISA anulled the event after the season had concluded, which was very controversial, because it changed the result of both championships. Markku Alén and Lancia were the champions (both driver's and manufacturer's) for 11 days I think, before FISA anulled the event, which handed the titles to Juha Kankkunen and Peugeot. Peugeot later took the 205 T16 to Pikes Peak in 1987, narrowly losing out to Audi that year, before coming back with the 405 T16 the next year (and the year after) and taking 2 Pikes Peak wins and a new record time. They also adapted both the 205 and the 405 T16 for the Dakar Rally, which they won every year from 1987 to 1989, if I'm not mistaken.

What's worse, the Peugeots weren't looking like they were going to win the 1986 San Remo rally in the first place. The steward's "intervention" was unnecessary as Lancia would have almost certainly won the rally anyway.

@carlosmagnus717

Ай бұрын

Before the Sanremo Rally Peugeot was already the Constructors' champion in that year 86, specifically in the 1000 Lakes rally, after Salonen overtook Alén, pushing him to roll over and winning the rally, Alén being 3rd behind Kankkunen. The same thing happened in the British RAC rally but without overturn. Some here believe that Lancia was going to win the Sanremo easily without the disqualification of the Peugeot team. It is not at all clear. In 3rd Leg Biasion was 11 seconds ahead of Kankkunen with a gravel stage ahead, where the roads were cleared favoring those behind, with Biasion starting first. The last leg was on the asphalt of the 1st leg where the Peugeots were better. Peugeot's disqualification was once again due to a trick by Mr. Fiorio that demonstrated the fear he had of losing at home since they had already lost the Brands Championship in Finland. The Peugeot did have illegal lateral flaps, they were in the pre-rally checks, never in the middle of the test when they were disqualified (typical Italian plot). That was the reason that Markku Alén wasn't World Champion, something that Fiorio didn't care about at all. Regarding the Pike's Peak of '87, Vatanen would have easily won it if it had not been for the breakage of an intake flange 3 kilometers from the finish line at more than 4,000 meters above sea level where his engine lost 70% of its power, and only lost by 7 seconds. Already in training it was seen that the Peugeot was doing much better times.

Small correction: the Evo 2 debuted in Corsica in 1985 in the hands of Bruno Saby. The main problem with the Vatanen crash in Argentina was that his seat broke, and he basically was “loose” in the car. Third: calling the 205 t16 a silhouette racer isn’t really true. The front part, so from the passengerspace, was actually the existing monocoque. The car never had a tendency to rotate on his side while in the air. In fact if anything it was more stable that ways, because of added gyroscopic effects in a longitudinal direction (same direction as the wheels). The car had a tendency to land on it’s nose though, which they hoped would also be solved with the aid of aerodynamic devices.

Recently decided to use this car in Forza Horizon 5 and am glad I got good taste, since I had to deliberately find one or two in-game. I mean, all Group B cars that are in-game are awesome, but this one in particular is extra fun. The S1 is sot of big and bulky, but the 205 is smaller and mid-engined. What's not to love?

You can follow up with kit car category in the 90's which was the revenge of French manufacturers cause after the end of Gr.B they didn't have much to line up in what became the WRC category. until the late 90's early 00's. Best example from Peugeot was the 306 Maxi which was a real asphalt monster.

Great video and engaging delivery. I hope that this trend of covering each Group B monster will lead you to the rather more timid Citroen BX 4TC. I have always been curious about it's gestation and purpose especially considering Peugeot and Citroen were under the same umbrella. A failure but a charming one nonetheless.

Well done video. Excellent narration! Thanks. It's too bad the crowds didn't have the common sense of self preservation during the Group B era. Also, tragic that those guys lost their lives. It's too bad the B's had to go, they were so powerful and fast that seemingly no amount of safety devices and technology would be overcome the crashes with trees, rock walls, etc., all around.

He recalls how no one knew what happened until the radios came in on the marshall post next to them, then they walked through the stage towards Toivonen's crash site.

People often mention the manufacturers when it came to their insane apatite for more speed and performance. It was nothing more than their selfish 'Greed' that killed the drivers. When spectators died however, that's on the organizers to inform them to stay clear. People are also dumber than sheep and most deaths among spectators happened because of their desperate attempts to seems bold and macho in front of complete strangers. Safety during racing is still seen as an uncomfortable obstacle that gets in the way of entertainment. Crashes draws crowds. Plain and simple.

I love how Finland has like 5 million people. Yet like half of the most famous rally drivers are Finns for some reason. Then again, our car culture is pretty much perfect for birthing rally drivers. Every Finnish boy who is into cars, wants a RWD or AWD car that has at least 200hp. Sliding said cars sideways on our plentiful gravel roads, or during the long winters, is a national past time. We even have a term for a non-roadlegal car, which is meant to be driven on fields and private roads leading to them. "Peltoauto", literally translates to "fieldcar". And many Finnish boys who live on the countryside, have one when they are around 10-17 years old. Usually it's some rusty sub-100hp shitbox. But it gets you familiar with the controls at a very young age. Manual gearboxes, clutch, gas, brakes, handbrake, and ofc the steering wheel. I remember my friend had a shitty crashed BMW from the 80s, that he bought and we repaired. We would drift it around his dad's fields when there were no crops on them, and around the private gravel roads which connected his fields to each other, his house, and the public roads.

Stellanis on the end is company of best relly brands.
