NO crap music........NO crap commentary........the PERFECT vid upload! Thank you
i was there 1983-1985, with my father, that was something very cool 8-10 year boy to be with dad. We have packed lunch there in forest.
Cool dude inwas definitely born in the wrong era of cars hahahaa
lucky you
Very lucky you
Oh wow
Finland is the most exciting stage, no argue the great drivers came from this country.
the very best of them was german ;)
+Leo Darmawan For E.G,Henri Toivonen,Marcus Grönholm.
nuddekutsch Walter didnt have the balls to come to Finland , he Said he didn't like jumps
Yeah, no jumps is for track racing, rally needs jumps
Sorry, there is only one true champion name:
Lord Sebastien Loeb
The world is lesser without group B.
Kristian Kumpula And lesser racers, because accidents are often that time.
it became lesser because of group b yes
@@ErnestIsGaming who cares? Bring back group b.
@@Feanor916 how about we just go into group s
The world is lesser without toivinen
The sound of the Audi Quattro 5 cylinder engine on full boost is like nothing else. It honestly sounds like a force of nature - like the drivers can barely control it.
It really does. Seeing it just fly by these crowds of people will always be insane to me.
I fully get why they don't do this anymore, but holy shit is it an awesome concept. To have the autocompanies just go all out.
the delta s4 was honestly better
It has quite a noticeable roar
@@Psycho_herb All the rest were a reaction to the Quattro. Remember, when it came out, no one believed in 4W drive considering it too heavy and prone to breaking down.
@@azynkron yes, we all remember, but the delta S4 was a beast of a machine.
This is the first time I realized they raced Group B at night... these people were actually insane... in a badass way.
You can always tell when the Quattro is coming because of that squeak!
It sounds like bunch of angry squirrels fighting each other lol
Polo GTI R5 kinda reminds me of it at times
I believe its the rev-limitor, or maybe the water-cooled brakes.
@@k.stultz9255 pretty sure its the turbo spooling
@@k.stultz9255 It's the turbo blow off valve
_"I don't like jumps. If I want to fly, I would be a pilot." - Walter Rohrl_
not on a car there's no way
Walter Rohrl is a pussy:D
@@akustikinnala5989 kyllä oli kun ei suomessa ajanu
yea, we like driving fast in the woods not gonna lie
Rohrl was a great driver with a pussy attitude :/
one of the unexplainable things that can almost bring a man to tears. I dont care much for modern cars but this, this is just glorious. any of these over a modern supercar, no second thoughts about it.
Xc31 now just look at F1 with V6s and Pikes Peak with E-cars. Makes me want to jump off a balcony
I agree. Those Audis and Lancias are the pinnacle of supercars.
I have read somewhere that the pinnacle of humanity has been reached in the 60's . I consider Broup B Rallye the pinnacle of all Motorsports .
I would say, that even in the modern times, Rally managed to keep this vicious and wild spirit of always had. To this day rally cars are bare of any electronic, and those guys are still going flat out on any terrain.
I would gladly take one of the Lancias or Quattro over a super car
even the 205 Turbo 16 sounds 1000 times better than any modern V6 F1
It was epic car. That and Lancia Delta S4, i had models of both when i was a child.
Todays ear gasme is non aspirated rally cars ;-)
Hell, the Metro 6R4 has a V6 and sounds miles better than a modern F1 car
@@doabarrellroll69 You were not listening
@ probably you've never heard a lancia 037
Now i fully understand why the rally legend Walter Rohl once said in an interview "i didn't want to participate in Finland rally because half the time you are flying" ...makes sense now after i watched this video !!!
Finnish drivers dominated rally in 80's and 90's.
Drivers from Finland won championship in -81, -83, -85, -87, -91, -93, -96, -97, -98 and 1999.
Also 2000 and 2002.
Then french came and won 14 straigth :D
@@rasssse92 They would't win that many times in 80's or 90's, not even close. There was so many great drivers on that era and competition was much harder.
And 60's
Lmao what's with the trumps here
The sound in the footage of 3 different cars taking that same corner starting at 3:06 is incredible. The sound of the Quattro through the woods is terrifying
I love how the Lancia and Peugeot both looked like they slowed down before the jump, but the Audi was like "I believe I can fly"
Imagine sitting in the Navi seat ‘ how terrifying was that
The backfire at the end was the cherry on top.
@@martinbyrne6643 I can only imagine Martin. 😂
I have the audio from this video burned to a CD and have it playing every time I am highway driving.
Wonderful.
Most iconic sound ever in any motorsports, Group B Audi...
I cry everytime i ear it!!!
it was a beast! still is btw.
IMSA GTO aswell :)
Colin McRae’s Subaru 22B sounded sick also lol
Is it just me or was Audi running those engines rich as hell to keep them alive?
The "B" stands for "Badass"
Agreed
Or balls of steel.
Rikitikisiki or Batshit-crazy
Ballers
BIG!!!
Goosebumps, tears of joy and I start giggling like a five year old watching this pure awesomeness. I always will be jealous of my father for I never have and will never ever experience this level of excitement in a rally.
I’m a simple man, I see a group B rally I press like
"perkele sit aletaa hyppii taas"
Perkele!
Niih saatana
What thats means? I know Perkele as a music band 🤔
@@pochaniaczropynaftowejzasi4403 "Perkele" is a swear word in Finnish for "devil" or "evil". The translation would be something like: "Salonen, damn, let's start jumping again."
@@janbo8331 Thank you so much..I like this language a lot :)
Good god. I'll *never* get over how great the Metro sounds. Almost like it's about to explode and shatter into a million pieces. One of the most soulful and glorious sounds ever created. So much personality. Makes me giddy like a child.
Yeah, it was dangerous, but it was the best rally era ever!
Safety and regulations have really watered down motorsports
Brings back memories, I was 12 and didn’t realise how lucky I was to witness this glorious chapter of motorsports…
I'm a 26 year old guy, so I didn't have the chance to witness this time, but when I was 17, they started off a nearby rally in a city I live close to, and I got to see an S1 and two S2 there. I wasn't absolutely crazy into cars and haven't seen a rally before that day.
There was one turn where there was just a concrete barrier and a fence next to a turn going away from it, so they allowed viewers to stand there, and I got the chance to feel these things from roughly 1,5m distance. They started pretty late that day, so I had all kinds of awesome sounding cars from all kind of groups going past before, theres was one older 911 which I thought was incredibly loud until that point.
Then the Quattros came. I remember clear as day when the announcer said "next up are two absolute beasts" and then I already heard this monstrous roar from the other end of that parking lot where they started. Usually you could hear the starting cars a little bit, but the quattros made the fences shake we held onto from that distance already.
I didn't know the car by then and was really eager what's going to come around that corner in a few moments...
It was this track where two cars would drive at the same time on different lanes, then change lanes after one lap and go around again. The drivers were pretty even so suddenly there's a black S2 and the yellow HB livery S1 ABSOLUTELY ROARING sideways through the turn, kicking up dirt behind them and then lighting the cloud of dust with the afterfire from the exhaust as they shifted to accelerate out of that turn. It felt like all my bones in my body got shaken up by these monsters. It took me a good minute to snap out of the awe again these things caused me to go into.
I'm still young, but few moments in my life so far stuck to my memory this vividly, and I think it's an experience I won't forget for the rest of my live.
And to agree with the words of Xc31, seeing and hearing these things on video and remembering that experience, really does bring me close to tears, it's just such an awe inducing machine.
👍 yes sir, visceral and raw
Thank you on behalf of the world for not putting stupid music in this awesome video.
22:00 this guys had car control beyond my understanding. That drift was so damn smooth.
beyond understanding, so smooth....
That was Henri Toivonen. Genuinely made any car he drove look like it had 100bhp more than it actually had! (Watch his Lotus Sunbeam days...) So much more to come, but for Corsica SS18 1986 🙏
Legends are forever.in the year 2100and beyond.they can't pull off what rohl, toivonen etc did
That Audi was a monster... Insane
At burning Oil apparently.
spyrox lacia s4 was even faster
MyFabian94 not oil, brake cooling I think
@@MyFabian94 hannu mikkola had an engine problem that time. He had to retire
*is
It's not only the cars, the sound... there's something about the camera quality that makes these kind of videos so special. Possibly the best video on youtube, thank you.
Your film is the closest thing to being there I have yet seen- hugely appreciated! Was it really 30 minutes? Felt like 30 seconds...! Think I'll watch it again...
Just imagine, what it would have happened if we had back then the social media we have now!! Even so, Group B is the best thing that ever happened in the world of Rallys!! Heroes and Monsters !!!!
Without a doubt the best and most outrageous era for rally, i'm so glad i watched it back then!
2:44 Henri Toivonen on 037
I like how someone yells "TOIVONEN!" super excitedly in the back
The engine is so powerful that the mic was about to explode
I thought porn is not allowed on RUclips
Dont steal others comment.
Sébastian, it's not the same feeling .
It is if its instructional
Migoz Chavez wooosh
The ai let machine porn slide by the dirty batards
the 037 is by far the prettiest car of the lot.
In my opinion it had to be cliche but it stays the audi quattro s1
I think the Opel sounds great!
Gareth Duncan indeed! That legendary cih engine with the 16v head sounds so good!
It does sound good, the best thing is that you can buy a 70-80's manta for under 6k
@@finnishmotorfreak7665 wasn't that 6 cylinder 400 version, or did it come later?
The 037 ‘ the ballet dancer 💃 of the forest ‘ pure poetry in motion
21:40 *240rs coming* "toyota toyota!" *240 gets closer* "Nissan!"
YES
YES
That Lancia 037 seems to glide over the surface
The last rear wheel drive car to ever win the manufacturers championship!!!
An amazing class and era.. the cars then all had their own unique sound, unlike today’s rally cars which all sound the same.. The Quattro still gives me chills..
This must be one of the best, if not THE best, motorsport videos on the internet.
1:57 I love that sound :)
19:07 this is a lovely sequence, the contrast is striking
The age of Heroes.
Ouninpohjan alkuperäinen ajosuunta oli nimenomaan tuo videolla nähtävä suunta, vielä 90-luvullakin Ounia ajettiin vastakkaiseen suuntaan nykyisestä. Nykyinen Ouninpohja on siis WRC-kauden (1997-) "tuote", originaali vedettiin eri suuntaan, ja usein vielä pimeässä.
I can't get enough of this. It's magical and impossible to see us ever getting this again. It's the Audi that gets me every time; that noise is just unbelievable.
Pop pop pop….. pop pop
It was an era when racing was still dangerous, and sex was safe.
endurofly The 80 were a time in which HIV started to spread without anyone noticing until it was too late. So... No, sex was not save.
looks like SOMEBODY hasn't heard about chlamydia
Today it's the other way round...
I don't think sex was safe as women still got pregnant.
And Europe was white.
Lancia 037, the last true 2WD monster...
The Lancia 037 should have been the last 2WD champion if Lancia did not screw Walter Röhrl!!!
Only 6 rally's and 105 points.
Mikkola about 12 rally's and only a few more points then Walter.............
and behind the wheel
c'est vraiment magnifique ces rallyes sur terre . c'était vraiment du pilotage sur ces courses , respect aux pilotes!
That quick weight shift at 2:24 is just peak driving.
Who are the 19 knuckleheads that gave this a thumbs down ?
So the quattro was smoking heavily, what did they do.....drive it harder lol
The sound they make still gives me goosebumps
upThanks,great cars,great sounds.......and how nice to see a film about group B that,s not all about crashes
I used to play Colin Mcrae Rally at my pc, when i got along some, i hade a Audi at desposibal for me, what a beast!!! Took me a very long time to handle it, from this, Greate Respect to those drivers who drove them in real life :)
Thomas :)
Possibly THE BEST rally video I have ever seen! Bravo Bravo Bravo 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️👍
The two best sounds in Motorsports: that Audi Quattro Rally car and the Lancia 037!!!
Most bad ass drivers , pure balls of steel
the audi sounds so aggressive it sounds like it is angry because its a 5 cyl its angry that it got turbocharged it is angry because it puts down 500bhp its ridiculous
5? try like 7
wiki says in excess of 500, any source for 700 claims?
Hannu Mikkola who drove 7 years in Audi team has said that Audi had 500-700 HP depending on boost pressure. Every driver in team tune car for them self. Some might have 500 and some 700 or something between.
Sutii ja keulii joka vaihteella
The quattro is the best sounding and looks to have most power and torque of them all.
Nearer 700bhp at max boost is perfectly believable.
The Golden Era Of Rallly
-Group B
Such great quality footage from this time period. We are truly blessed to have the technology to enjoy these races forever. :')
This is how you should get to school in the morning.
Xxv1P3rgAm3ZxX You would definetly arrive quite awake :D
Your would have the Best drivers within 5 years... so I'll write a Letter to the austrian government
alright!XD
xXAlmdudlerXx And possibly be 2 hours early. :D
Who needs coffee when you have a loud engine roaring to wake you up.
AMAZING CARS AND DRIVERS!!!
Group B Rally cars is always unforgotten.
Mr. uploader sir, thank you for sharing this piece of automotive history. I could watch this for hours.
When cars had character...
I love the steam coming from Audi's attempts at cooling those brakes with water injected from a bottle, used to run out within a few miles, at 1200 od kilos must have had its work cut out doing anything.. lol
That little Peugeot was nothing to sneeze at and these drivers were masters.
Awesome. No stupid music or narration, sounds au naturelle.
Lancia 037... best sound and rally RWD car ever!
lol...keep dreaming
that Delta S4 launch still gave me chills 😂
Group B = Perfect Excellent Brilliant Drivers,Codrivers Mechanics Teams & Cars
Im still listening to this wonderful symphonie whenever i can. How can a soundtrack without a conductor be so emotionally charged? It is perfect.
rally at it's peak. forever group b , gone but not forgotten
Salonen perkele sit aletaan hyppii taas :)
Leskinen a.k.a "Löysä" tais vetää hemmetti yhellä kädellä noi hypyt
max27stoner oli/on ne huimia ukkoja..
I've probably watched this about 10 times.
8.28-8.48 like hell has come to Earth
Jim Callahan the sound of the Quattro could scare away hell
An agressive male quatro in his natural habitat chasing off intruders...
Jim Callahan more like 0:00 to 30:30
Even the devil fears the quattro chasing him
One legend after another. Group B!
One of the best video i've ever seen! ♥
Why do I find this just now? That algorythm is clearly broken as this must be the best Group B video on RUclips. And different cars, too! Not only Delta and S1. Awesome!
I watch this video 19 times every day!😆😂
Respect
I guess 36 people thought there wasn't enough "Murican Muscle" in this video
they miss the no skill drag racing
Mark S. ...or "no skill" nascar where they drive in circles 500 times 😂✌🏼️
Turning right and having a manual transmission is too much for them
@IrishPsquared yeah and we also never saw a NASCAR or NHRA driver in an f1 race maybe because they don't have the skills ?
@@MaggiaufEx you now modernday drag racers are ridiccolusly fast you got like 11.000 horsepower on a car that acelerates so fast you loose your vision at the start.
no matter how many times i listen to that engine ... i'm never bored O__O
thanks for keeping this one up! love groupe B!
Doc, i need to back to the 80s
19:17 confirms that this is in Finland :D
sucks that I never gotten to see this live ever and it still makes me cry. forever group b.
we were born in wrong era
12 Jahre altes Video ! Great !!💥
All the cars are awesome.
Lancia 037 looks great.
Peugeot T16 is totally nuts.
Then the Audi Quattro comes bellowing over the ridge.
For me, the WRC peaked in the Group B era. This video is amazing.
Amazing video!
On tää vaan upea video, ei koskaan kyllästy katsomaan
Fella, the bit at the end on the start line, pure magic, thanks again!
Helvetin hienoa menoa! Noi Audi Quattrot ja Lanciat on mun mielestä upeimmat rallaiautot ikinä. Harmi että B ryhmäläiset olivat ylitehokkaita ja vaativat sen vuoksi ihmishenkiä.
The second s4 start is unbelievable!!!
first time i saw juha kankkunen at 1000 lake rally was nice , fist size stones flew around me scary )
1284 votes and only 3 are negative. That has to be the most positive rated vid on earth and can completely understand why!
It's kind of hard to imagine today, but those Quattros were the very edge of rally tech back then.
The Lancia Delta s4 was a brute 0-60 in under 3 seconds and the most successful rally car in history!
Nope. You may be mixing up your Deltas: the the one that was the most successful rally car in history was the Integrale, which was a far more tame Group A car. The Delta S4 didn't win much (mostly because Lancia didn't have the time to properly develop it... Same goes for the Ford RS200).
+ClydeYellow
the S4 almost won the Championship but it was used only 1 season
205 was most successful because they were first with purpose built car. Audi started 4x4 but was based on regular car. RS200 and S4 just came to late to the game
The Sound the Audi make! Håhåhå! Crazy :D
great compilation. Not seen a lot of these before. Thanks
The commitment is unrivalled. Think that most cars didnt like going past 60 in that time, Imagine the spectacle.
Fuck me i wish i was around to see that in person!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh shit! This was awesome!
Brilliant video so loved this era of rallying
Spectacular! I felt like I was there in the 80's on the side of that roads...
All of your vids are great! Thanks
