I watched for over a minute and this looked like a pretty average cross country race. No wrecks, no injuries and certainly nothing remotely epic. I'm just saying, if you post a 9 minute video could you please indicate a which portion to loo at for the epicness. |

Group B clips with unedited sound, no music
Although it sounds like music to me. Too many people on Youtube replacing the proper sound with music - what the hell is that about?
The later Group B Audi Sport Quattro S1, when they turned the turbo up to 11 and got 600HP, had a glorious "roar and chirrup", like a canary riding a giant lion.
I like the blase way the manufacturers bent homologation rules to ludicrous extents. Yes, yes, we've made road versions of our rally cars for production, as per the rules. They have different engines, different transmissions, different suspension, different brakes, different chassis, different bodywork, different electronics, the engines aren't even in the same place...but they have the same name and roughly the same shape, so that's close enough, right?

Could this have anything to do with Audi's introduction of AWD on it's vehicles?
Yes. 4WD existed before and Audi had direct experience of it as they were involved in developing and making a military off-road vehicle which was of course 4WD. 4WD was considered too heavy for racing use and standard road use, but Audi engineers watched their jeep hammering around offroad and thought "it's heavier, but it's worth the extra weight if we refine it and put more power in the car". It won the world rally championship several times, which rather conclusively proved them right. So they put it on their road cars too. |

If you like this short watch the documentary "Too Fast to Race". It's all about the death of Group B. |

This is not a "cross country audi race" It's called a rally and audi is not the only one that organizes or participates in them... |

So... go out, stand by road, wait all day, car comes by, goes around the corner and it's gone. Hmm. Suddenly NASCAR doesn't seem so stupid. |

@blackcatseye. I didn't make up this caption. (And definitely never used the word 'epic'.)
Ask the caption person if he/she did.
Just wanted to show some good, old group B rally.
The kind where the organizers (FIA), didn't expect the teams could produce so much power out of the cars as they did.
There were little restrictions on the technology.
And the Audi Quattro is one of the most beautiful machines ever made in rally. (To me that is.) |
