The ‘Group B’ International Motorsports Category was conceived in the late seventies as a return to the ‘good old days’ when amateur and factory teams alike could run the same production-based cars in either sports car racing or championship rally events. By the early eighties the class had become the ‘Godzilla’ of the rally scene and what resulted were the most awesome cars ever seen on the rally stages of the world - 600 horsepower, 4WD, turbocharged monsters that could cover forest, tarmac or gravel stages faster than anything ever seen before or since. In 1986 the door was slammed shut on the F1 cars of mountain and forest roads. Faster and faster cars combined with wilder and crazier crowds meant that within the confines of rally car competition the group B rocket ships were just “too fast to race”. The legacy of Group B, however, is a whole range of spectacular cars that continue to thrill enthusiasts. Includes awesome action footage and stunning close ups.

Superfast, superpowerful, with head-turning looks, the Subaru Impreza is one of the most desirable cars on the market today. It has become an icon for a motoring generation in an era where few cars can command such loyalty and prestige. The Subaru Impreza enjoys phenominal cult status thanks largely to Colin McRae's storming world rally championship glory in 1995 with Subaru taking the manufacturers' title (a title they won again in 1996 and 1997).

Lancia Integrale - The Full Story tells you all you need to know about the world's most successful rally car; a car that won six world titles in six years. To understand why the Integrale was so successful, it is necessary to check out its pedigree. This included the famous Stratos and Monte Carlo 037, both forerunners to the ultimate Group B supercar, the 600bhp Delta S4. Group B cars eventually proved too fast for the rally stages and were banned by the motorsports authorities. This meant a move to production-based cars and so the Integrale was born. In 1987, the Delta HF Integrale won the World Championship at the first time of asking and carried on winning titles for another five years. With superb World Championship rally footage Lancia Integrale - The Full Story follows the action season by season through those glory years, featuring legendary Lancia drivers such as Markku Alen, Juha Kankunnen, Miki Biasion, and Didier Auriol.
