I know they did but current wrc cars are FASTER on stage than the old group b cars due to better grip/brakes etc. The speeds people would be doing in wrc cars if they were allowed unlimited power now a days WOULD be suicidal. Most of the old Group B drivers were scared driving their cars, well with the exception of people like stig who openly admits he wasnt afraid to die rallying.
