    Do some history - http://www.stormloader.com/groupb/index.html - Good start.

    Purpose built rally machines, but you had to have 200 road going versions.

    And if you must know, the RS200 was based around a cut down sierra.
    hey! you've got my car on that page! well almost... (dreams and gets out the white and yellow paint)

    dissed a group B car maybe? wasn't me by the way, I have no rep those things are basically the gods of all road going vehicles. most will eat up any supercar you throw at it, that car alone is a 3 second to 60 beast... (even if it is a ford)

    w00t, great site. I've just found this:

    http://www.stormloader.com/groupb/toyota.html

    When Toyota realised that the Celica 4T-GTE wasn't very competitive outside of Africa, the team started work on a new contender - a 600 horsepower MR2. With the cancellation of Group B, the car was never entered in rally competition.
    Now I know what to aim for when I finally start tuning my MR2 up

    Rich :¬)

    Group B was cancelled becuase it too insane/dangerous wasnt it? They were damn nice cars from what videos i have seen of them....

    Was a combination of things - Power levels getting insane (600 BHP) followed by a couple of fatal accidents led to the knee jerk reaction of banning group B and the soon to be launced group S.
