Group B Motor racing regulations

Group B was a set of regulations introduced in 1982 for competition vehicles in sportscar racing and rallying regulated by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The Group B regulations fostered some of the fastest, most powerful, and most sophisticated rally cars ever built and is commonly referred to as the golden era of rallying. However, a series of major accidents, some of them fatal, were blamed on their outright speed and lack of crowd control at events. After the death of Henri Toivonen and his co-driver Sergio Cresto in the 1986 Tour de Corse, the FIA discontinued the class, dropped its previous plans to replace it with Group S, and redesignated Group A as the top-line formula. The short-lived Group B era has acquired legendary status among rally fans and automobile enthusiasts in general.
