No clue how you find these amazing videos but they are amazing and hope you continue uploading. Thank you for letting us see what is considered by many to be the golden age of rally. I was born in 1995 so i never got to see this in person or on tv so it is appreciated.

@fabaum22 They had only just started before the program was stopped. The following year they were due to have a 2.1 Ltrs engine something like 75-100 Kg less mass and again something like an extra 35mm front and 50mm rear extra suspension travel. As your probably aware, development was constant but no changes to the current car could be made for 12 monthes because of the once a year homoligation stipulation.

Lancia Delta and Peugeot 206 were technically better since they actually were on time for the spectacle

It’s so unfortunate and ironic that RS200’s crash in portugal was one of the reasons Group B was cancelled, and the RS200 Evo with a bigger engine has never competed in WRC

I dont know if anyone else agrees with this but this "era" was as awesome as it was because you could see the cars in action and buy something atleast somewhat close to it, where as now you got a awd yaris doing 0-60 in like 1.9 sec but when you go to buy it, you found out its fwd and has shit box for a chassis

99% of the spectators back then couldn't afford a Group B homologation street car. For example, the Audi Sport Quattro (164 were sold to the public between 84 and 86) went for 200 000 West German Marks. In 1984 $US that would be around 72 500. In 2021 money, it would be $US 190 500. It's current value today if you can find one for sale is around $US 580 000.

5:03 this is the most badass shot i had seen that Rs200 have the light aura

i'm italian but i think its the most beatiful GROUP B ever made

1.8 litre, 4 cylinder(straight 4), 444hp single turbocharged engine. And yet still crazy fast enough that one wrong move will wrap you around a tree. Group B was just on a whole nother level.

I remember seeing one of these in the LOMBARD RAC RALLY IN THE 80S AT NIGHT U HEARD MILES AWAY. B4 u saw it. Exhaust was glowing. Amazing

I go back and forth between the RS200 and the Escort Cosworth as my favorite rally cars that Ford ever produced. Astonishing cars.

I love watching classic rally car racing!

I would recognize a Cosworth engine a mile away, I can't really figure out what it is but they always stands out among other engines for their "angry" sound. Thanks for the footage Marvdogger, the RS200 truly was one of the best group B cars, that's sad they had to scrap the project so early...

It's not a Cosworth engine in the RS 200 it's a BDT 1800, and the 20 evolutions built had 2.1 BDT's built by Brian Hart. Peter Stevens, the designer built a Group S RS 200 and that has a Cosworth engine in it, I think it runs at Rally Legends in San Marino.

yeah because the stupid fucking spectators would run all over the tracks. not the car or driver or sports fault. all the moronic spectators with the IQ of a potato are what killed it. I remember hearing an interview with one of the group B drivers and he said you had to imagine all the spectators were trees because if you thought of them as people, you'd never be able to drive properly. I know i'm going to get flamed for this, but the series should have kept going. if the spectators wanted to be brain dead, utter dumbasses then let them get smeared all over the road.

Never seemed laggy at all, shame it never saw 2 seasons to progress.

I can't lie, some of these corners and turns looks like they're stages that are featured in Dirt rally 2.0 but idk how many of those stages were based off real stages

The only Group B car that doesn't look like ass.

To think this was the fastest car in group b and it only had a 4 cylinder engine is fucking crazy compared to mg and audi using 6 and 5 cylinders
