The Motorsport That Killed Its Own Fans..

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Six hundred brake horsepower, 1 single rule and zero safety measures…
These were three of the reasons why pretty much everyone loved Group B
Unfortunately, they’re also 3 of the reasons it got banned… it was straight-up insanity, and you’re about to see the why..
It was known for being one of, if not the most dangerous sport to ever exist.
Some of the fastest cars in the world, incredible title fights, spectators being heavily injured, and way, way too many fatalities…
This is how & why Group B became world’s most dangerous motorsport & the legacy it left behind.

    As I saw an F1 representative say about the 1994 season, "It's business. Nothing personal." Group B was definitely using the same mindset. It's always fantastic to see drivers using their conscience and saying "no I can't do that, I will not do that'.

    Crowd control in some events was non-existent, there were not enough Marshalls and it wasn't easy to find more trained and qualified marshalls. When the Course Car drove through the stages and saw the excessive number of spectators the Cleark of the course should have cancelled the stage. This could even mean cancelling the whole event. Group B rallying was spectacular to watch, but, the cars themselves were too fast for a driver to react to what the car was doing. I marshalled the RAC Rally for 20 years (1979-2000) sometimes, I was the only marshal on a corner at 03,00am halfway up a mountain in freezing cold 🥶weather. We had no spectators to worry about. The half bottle of anti-freeze in my pocket for the occasional sip helped. 20 years for a Plastic or Metal badge Martin. (Thailand) 🥵

    To this day you still see people standing right at the edge of the track. I have seen cars go off and the morons by the side of the track had to run like hell to keep from being hit. This is down right stupid. I know they can not put up barriers the hole length of the circuit and what good would it do. People would find some way over, under, or thru the barriers just to get closer to the cars.

    I think it's majority's opinion what mattered, most of people just wanted group B to continue and after that big crash as Audi pulled out and people were sad, the opinion changed. It's called experience learning, the learning that is more monkey way than logical predicting and also simpler people then learn that it's dangerous. Enough people changed their mind and things changed. It's still the case, majority's opinion is the way things go. Average IQ in 1980 was under 80 if compared to today's test, we have improved a lot.

Having seem clips of Euro rallying with cars off the road driving through and over spectators too often. As a road racer we are subsidising all of this mayhem. Circuits have to spend a LOT forever increasing standards, the onset of nanny cars for a car OFF the circuit yet rallys happen with wrecks everywhere and cars into the crowds.

The blurred images just disrupt your story. The 40 year old video is of such poor quality, the blurring is not even necessary. I'm finding more and more videos blurring everything. What's the point. If you gotta blur it, skip it! Sorry, I just had to rant. You do a great job! Just hate the blur! :)
