      If you do not know what Group B is (how can you not?) please do a quick search on YouTube and watch videos of the rally cars (we picked one for you below) that were deemed too fast and dangerous to be raced. Now, Audi had one of the most badass vehicles in all of Group B with their S1 Quattro rally car. We will get to see the legend back in action in August with the Michelin Group B five venue rally event taking place in England.

      The event is open to Group B cars but also others such as WRC cars as well as additional historic classes. So, it is not exactly the return of Group B but nice to see the cars getting run in an event once again. The chance to see Group B cars in person is a must for any Motorsport fan. We just wish this was happening in the United States.

        Although the Audi S1 had won and was fast in the beginning it was no match for the Peugeot and Lancia in the following season. The title of "too fast to race" I would certainly bestow on the Lancia Delta S4, the Supercharged/Turbocharged AWD monster.

        All the Group B cars were badasses.

        Group B was for drivers who didnt care if they died.
