It's a good video tribute.
Found a link to it last night and really enjoyed it, even though there is too much music.

One of my favorite time wasters on the internet, Group B rally videos. You just can't watch one, there is always another great clip to follow.

good to see cars other than the Audi's getting some "face time" too.
Out of all of them. I bet the Lancia 037 was the hardest to drive. All that power and only 2 wheel drive. Probably the most fun too

Toyota also had a group B rally car, but it seemingly did great only in african rallys. Twin Cam Turbo.

Lots of crazy people right by the course. It's amazing there weren't more deaths like what happened out west recently

Imagine a 600hp 4-cylinder turbo sitting behind you that had turbo-lag that was measured in minutes, connected to a 5-speed manual with straight-cut gears. No fancy computers, ABS, traction control or boost control to help you drive, just pure guts and determination. No carbon fiber crumple zones, just a steel body and a roll cage.
IIRC Audi had one guy (one guy!) who made their engines by hand.
IMHO, Walter Röhrl was the absolute best. Check out his footwork in this clip: AUDI RALLY

Have you ever seen the RS200 boost gauge, it read in BAR, not PSI

Spec racer vs. Can Am
Near-stock sheetmetal and 500+ hp. Just glorious from a machinery standpoint.
