This will be a weekly feature on The Ringer from now on: Wednesday Winsday. Tune in every hump day and we'll post up something that's full of win.
Today we have a big ol' bucket of win for you in the form of an 11 minute long video of Group B Rally footage. Group B is considered by many car enthusiasts to be the glory days of the sport.
The 'Back in the day' nostalgia is fueled by the fact that in Group B, technology was pushing as hard as the drivers, and the cars had gotten to the point where human reactions couldn't quite keep up.
To make matters worse (and subsequently more kick ass), crowd control was non-existent, and as you'll see in the video, fans would crowd the road, only diving out of the way at the last second in order to get a better glimpse of the cars and drivers they adored.
Group B was eventually banned after a series of horrifying accidents and more than a hand full of fatalities, and cars have more or less been restricted ever since.
So grab a drink, turn up the sound and enjoy the record of when the cars were at their peak and the drivers were at their craziest. This is Group B.
