Sadly I got into racing way too late to enjoy Group B. But I love learning about it and imagining what it might have been like to be there.
Wow! That’s amazing. Do you have any anecdotes or stories of the race to share by chance?
Not of great interest but here you go :
We used to go bathing in the river below the road (here). For a while there was a car on the side of the mountain, about 300meters below the road. The location was pretty much impossible to reach by foot. As a kid I was told it was a car from the rally and the pilots were dead and still inside. Now that I think about it I’m pretty sure the car was plain white, so certainly not a racing car. It was probably an old car somebody threw there because it was cheaper than having it towed to the scrapyard.
Another year though there was a crash on this wall while my brother and his friends seated on top of it. Nobody was hurt but it is kind of sad for the pilots considering it was a few hundred meters from the end of the race.
