    Re: Death Defying Group B Rally Footage: Even The Co-Driver Thought They Were Cooked

    yikes!!!

    Is it me or is there a glaring lack of rollcage structure inside that car??


    It must take MAJOR balls to ride shotgun in something like that.

      It takes bigger balls to ride shotgun than to actually drive. I know I crap my pants when someone else is driving and only doing shit half as stupid as I do, even if they're fully capable of doing it. I don't like being a passenger at all.

        been there. I look back on someof the crazy shotgun rides I've taken - yikes. Sitting on a milk crate in a 180mph banzai run in an LSR car on a private airport? great stories but never going to do that again.

          I just look at that video an am amazed by the ability of the driver. Watch him working the wheel, and at the speeds the car is moving at. Totally wild.

            THAT is racing. The scared passenger is just a benefit. ;D

              Now you understand why they were nicknamed, "Killer B's"! These cars were totally insane; cool as all get-out, but WICKEDLY insane! I remember watching rally races on "Wide World of Sports" (now you know my age!) and they featured the Group B cars. Even the announcers would flinch when these guys ran! These were some of the coolest cars, hands-down! The Lancia Stratos, the Ford Escort RS200, just to name a few. Look 'em up - super sweet cars!

                Here's a little pocket bio of the Audi S1

                  What a small world.

                  I own the Auditronix (only seven ever made) mixing console that was first owned by ABC television and used to mix audio for the Wide World of Sports TV show. It was refurb'd in the late 1980s, and resold to a studio here in Omaha who recorded a few John Denver albums on it. I got it FOR FREE when new building owners offered it up. Spent a year refurbishing it, now I rent it out.

                  The group B rally cars are probably the baddest race cars ever. Those or perhaps the CanAm cars...

                    I'm sure through that entire run the thought of crashing never entered the driver's mind.
                    Just groovin' to my own tune.
