Group B was for men!
This is a tribute to the rallying of the middle 80's, when Group B monsters dominated the championship.
There were no serious restrictions for the cars and no limitations for developing, the tracks were extremely dangerous and the crowd were as close to the cars as possible.
As the result of rapid evolution the cars became as powerful as F1 cars and it was too much for human abilities to keep them on the nasty roads on the limit.
