Nice Video
Sorry if I cannot express myself correctly, but I don't know English as good as I want, so my answers will probably be the same in many cases.

There's a story that supposedly happened at the Estoril track in 1986. Toivonen did a lap around the Estoril circuit that would give him 6th place in the grid in that year's race!! (Both laps on wet)
But this is Gr.B.. Mad Cars, mad crowds..

As if it was not known already, but from this video it is perfectly clear what killed Group B. The "fans" standing literally in the middle of the road.....I am actually surprised that the mortality rate has been so low...

Yes... 86, the accident is at the end of the video..

Yes it was in 1986, but 1987 served to prove the point that the most dangerous aspect of this rally days were the spectators and not necessarily the cars. The year after Gr.B was banned, a friend of ours (Joaquim Guedes)who was doing the rally with a Corolla AE86, had a crash that seemed like a replica of the one Joaquim Santos had the year before with the RS200. And again, people were killed, but by safer cars.
Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.

You're probably right, but many drivers had very big accidents in Group B cars that either left them seriously injured or killed them. I'm thinking of Vatanen (Argentina 85), Bettega (Corsica 85) or Toivonen (Corsica 86). In my opinion the best era of rallying was before the Group B monsters.
Lack of charisma can be fatal.

nice video but why does every video maker insist on sharing their music tastes when the source material is there already...
