I hadn't seen one of the other videos on there of Toinvonen's crash shown externally, falling through all the trees and turning into a rolling fireball. It was indeed Toivonen's crash, not the RS200's, that ended Grp B. His co-driver was killed too, just look at the car - nothing but a spaceframe with brakes, pedals and a couple of burnt heat exchangers hanging off the back

thats harsh, rip Toivonen, neither had a chance in tht crash, i remember on one of clarksons vids seeing a clip of gropu b audi, there was just fans all in the road tryin to see it, they just moved as it pretty much came through them, f*kin stupid,
mind you it was good seeing all the group b cars out again, metro and audi sound awsome, t16 evo 2 is mental, RS200 the best

that vid of a car rolling down the hill cant be toivonens car, cos u can clearly see sum1 running from the wreckage, when in reality toivonen and his co driver were both killed in the incident, trapped in the car. and i doubt there are any vids of the actual incident, as to this day it is still unknown how it happened, all thats known is the car left the road and the underside mounted fuel cell caught fire. very sad loss of life anyways
group B was banned due to all the incidents as a whole, with the toivonen death just bringin it to a head. having F1 speeds on gravel was always gna end in tears, however cool it was to watch
