No it didn't- they were reasonably cheap cars to make compared to the blind alley that grp A/ WRC has become.

They had a tendency to kill people instead.

The WRC needs a good kick up the arse. They need to adopt a complete new formula to attract both manufacturers and the media- problem is it's the chicken and the egg scenario, you won't get one without the other and vice versa.

Wish they would let me sort it out. I would have it back on it's feet in no time.

Yeah group B cars were pretty basic but brilliant!They deffo put Audi on the map and provided some outstanding drivers,like the man said though alot of people were killed by them...but with modern saftey technology :?:

I worked with Ford on RS200 and they bitched like hell about having to build 200 of the damn things as an upfront investment.

And Gp A was intended as a low cost alternative...and then creep, creep more technology and cost.
