DESCRIPTION : They were the most exciting cars ever to have graced the international rally scene. To this day, many fans still consider Group B to be the epitome of madness on wheels. Never since have engineers had such a big freedom of choice to create extreme rally cars as they did during that fantastic era of the early 1980s. The book tells the story of all the cars developed within Group B. But all the technical development came to a head in the year 1986, when the euphoria somehow turned into an ungovernable risk. The mischief of engineers, politician and fans led to tragic accidents, which finally resulted in Group B cars being banned from international rallies.
