Classic Rally

I think if it wasnt for Carlos Sainz, this sport wouldnt be at its heights.

huh? can you explain that a bit please?

It's not rallying, I hope you don't mind. evo 5 or something.

That's a japanese Dirt Trial Championship car, as as you would call it in Europe - a Rallycross machine. It's a great sport, with some great over-500hp machines racing at one time on a mixed course (dirt, asphalt or concrete, sometimes sand). Now that's nice... And it's cheaper than rallying.

wait, how is that cheaper then rally? less rules?

I thought Group B was cancelled because too many people were dieing as a result of it.

yes, the cars were too powerful, and thus had a lot of accidents. Because of poor crowd control, spectators were getting killed as well. Instead of changing the organization of the event, they shift all the responsibility to the teams, and force them to can their Group B efforts, and enter slower Group A cars. I think Group S would have been a good way to go, unless cars like that Audi I posted were entered, in which case costs would rise to silly proportions.... I dunno, maybe Group A was a good idea. haha.
