The rally race horses from Group B made headlines in their heyday. The scarce survivors are probably now in the National Horse Rest Home of the De Paardenkamp Foundation in Soest.
The Indian stories
Group B refers to a set of rules introduced by the FIA in rallying and racing in the early 1986s. The class is characterized by the fact that there were few rules attached to it in terms of technical ingenuity. The cars were characteristic in their technical complexity, their speed, power, and the therefore guaranteed spectacle that they brought with them. The class became a huge success when it turned out that it attracted more and more manufacturers and audiences. But 'because every advantage was a disadvantage' the costs went up steeply, the safety of both riders and spectators was written in very fine print. After a series of fatal accidents, the rally class was banned in XNUMX.
