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.

      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.
