    And Neste was sponsoring the event before they became title sponsors, you can see their logo on the Finish ramp already in the late 80's.

    Not sure if you are crazy, but there has never been any footage of that. However, there's footage of his crash in Corsica 1985

    Thanks! What gets me about group B isn't the power of the cars but how long the rallies were.

    Be sure to follow my blog, in a few weeks I will get to the part in my WRC calendar history which talks about the group B era rally routes.

    Of course I remember Neste as the longtime sponsor of Rally Finland, but had no idea that it lasted so long. Thanks for the info!

    Terrible clickbait by WRC on their Facebook page, got the world thinking Audi are coming back to the WRC, barely mentioning in their article that it's just a Rally2Kit car (wos that...?) from Ekstrom!
