A book on motorsport? Here are books on rallies and rally cars.
Groupe B, les voitures interdites
How can we define this period of motor sport, a symbol of technological excess? Excess in the power of the engines, in the lack of safety for the public, but also in the exceptional length and difficulty of the rallies that placed Group B at the height of motor sport. Thanks to, or because of, Group B, world motor sport experienced one of the most prodigious episodes in its history for five years, from 1982 to 1986.
Discover its saga, from its fascinating genesis to its tragic epilogue. But the story could not end there. After extensive investigations into improving safety, a certain number of these cars that haunted museums were gradually re-approved to compete in historic events.
If the current rally is entirely devoted to performance, the rally of yesteryear systematically brought with it fortuitous unforeseen events, incredible adventures, exceptional adventures peppered with juicy details, generating their share of stories that are often funny, sometimes crazy.
By deliberately breaking away from the current evolution of motor sport, the authors did not hesitate to glean from the source a host of stories, all authentic, often with a touch of nostalgia.
