No it was actually for Group B Racing which was a different thing, that never materialized sadly. As was Porsche 959, tho that one actually DID participate in a few paris-dakar-rallies, albeit pretty modified for off road use.

Not a different thing - it was intended for B class rallying but didn't get to compete as Group B was withdrawn before the car was ready to race.Argenta wrote:No it was actually for Group B Racing which was a different thing, that never materialized sadly.

The car in the vid is one of the 200 or so homologation cars required for production before it could be qualified as a group B rally car along with all the peugeout 205's, audi quattro's, lancia delta integrales etc.

Sorry, no it was made for Group B racing not rally. Logical - why would you make a race construction with only RWD for the woods when everybody else was making completely different cars
This racing class was never even materialized, while the rally Group B was terminated in 1987.
Ferrari 288 GTO came in 1984. Go figure.

Really not sure which 'racing' series ur referring to?
The 288 and 989 were deemed for the 4000cc+ class of group B rallying in the early 80's.
The lancia 037 and toyota celica were rwd only, in group B rallying....

Hmm, ok, interesting article. But did any group B 'races' actually take place? If so, they certainly passed me by......buzyg wrote:Good article on it here Chris.Chris_D wrote:Really not sure which 'racing' series ur referring to?
