Memories of the year: Group B fever
For a couple of days this Autumn, David Evans got to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the end of Group B by playing with some of the exotic toys of the rallying's most mega era. Unsurprisingly, he loved it
It hasn't been a bad year. I've spun a World Rally Car in fourth gear, driven a Porsche 911 Turbo around Britain and trotted the globe watching the master collect title number eight.
All big memories. But not the biggest.
The biggest memory begins with a B: Group B.
B is for brilliant, bonkers and beastly. But most of all, breathtaking.
There was no other way to describe the moment Ian Gwynne opened up Stig Blomqvist's Ford RS200 from the 1986 RAC.
