Spun xjr-9

[shut basalt]

The most underrated Group B car (imo)

[tacit nest]

The official car of unconditional love.

It was awful, but I love it nonetheless.

[midnight beacon]

I’m a sucker for Toyota rally cars

[shut basalt]

Yea exactly

It's underrated (mostly bcz it's shite) but it's still very cool looking

[midnight beacon]

It does look cool

[shut basalt]

It's a French S1 E2 basically

[midnight beacon]

Just not reliable

[shut basalt]

Yea

And French

[midnight beacon]

Hence the reliability problems

I do love some of the rally cars the French had tbf

205, 405, ZX

[shut basalt]

Yea

The Xsara

[midnight beacon]

Ah yes

Another great one

[shut basalt]

5 Turbo

[shut basalt]

Clio

[midnight beacon]

Love me a Clio

[shut basalt]

Pikes Peak

[midnight beacon]

More like Dakar

[shut basalt]

That isn't obv, but they did Pikes

[midnight beacon]

Also a French creation

[shut basalt]

What the

[lean hatch]

Schlesser

[midnight beacon]

Schlesser indeed

[lean hatch]

The same Jean Louis Schlesser that punted Senna during the 1988 Italian GP

[midnight beacon]

I can understand why he decided to go to rally, less chance to punt someone

[shut basalt]

And more chance to punt trees

[midnight beacon]

Not many trees in a desert

[shut basalt]

If we're on about Dakar, well no, normal rally, yes

[lean hatch]

Before we keep bashing schlesser, let’s not forget that he won the 1989 and 1990 WSPC titles with Sauber

[midnight beacon]

Nice

[lean hatch]

Nice indeed

[midnight beacon]

Certainly an interesting machine

[shut basalt]

Looks like a Clio with shitty body mods

[lean hatch]

Idk why but I kinda see some bits from a Renault Laguna in here

[shut basalt]

Yea

I see it too

Alpine a110 another rally car

And the A160? (idk the numbers)

[midnight beacon]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buggy_Schlesser

Seems like it was custom

[shut basalt]

Huh

[midnight beacon]

I also found a six wheeled Mercedes that apparently did the Dakar rally

[shut basalt]

Lemme see

[shut basalt]

Huh

That's, something

[midnight beacon]

It’s a monster made by a Frenchman

[shut basalt]

When the funeral is on a mountain

[midnight beacon]

Fr though

This thing can probably climb it

[shut basalt]

Yea,

Every Redneck would piss themselves seeing this

[midnight beacon]

Yeah

[rare trail]

basically a child of Extreme E car and Renault Clio

[midnight beacon]

That is one way of describing it

[lean hatch]

https://youtu.be/PzHOYImWx3U

Is it me or does young James Allen look a little bit like Seth Macfarlane

[midnight beacon]

Precision driving

[slow wind]

Group B was fucking wild

[midnight beacon]

Probably the craziest competition in Motorsport history

[shut basalt]

Every 80s motosport was stoopid quick

[eternal mural]

One of the sexiest GT cars to be made

[eternal mural]

🔥

[tacit nest]

One of the sexiest sounding, too.

[green tartan]

heavily agree

[shut basalt]

That is the definition of sex

[midnight beacon]

Nah, GT cars are cooler then that

[eternal mural]

So true

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HZ_Jzk_GlA

[midnight beacon]

That thing sounds mental

I love it

[blazing drift]

Is it bad I don't get the noise bias for this car?

[granite lynx]

sexy lady

[uncut silo]

Hey sexy lady

I like your flow

🎶

[eternal mural]

Not really ig

I like a mean V12

[blazing drift]

Like it's a V12, but it just seems to be a very middling V12, noise wise... Maybe it's just revs bias but eh

[eternal mural]

Fairs

But it looks gorgeous tho imo

Gt1 was such a sick class icl

The same marque that my dad used to race.

[pulsar siren]

Technically, it was a GTV that he drove, but he still drove an Alfa Romeo.

[granite lynx]

Alfas*

https://youtu.be/iWCmNNclG30 Porsche moment

[blazing drift]

Wait till they found out about Blundell's Broken Nissan punching him to first by 6 seconds

[umbral sparrow]

Well, it broke in a way that gave him significantly more boost than usual

[granite lynx]

pure sex

[midnight beacon]

Such a nice livery

[shut basalt]

I feel like they were the basis for the design of the Alfa in Baku

[zenith osprey]

Alfa Romeo represented the Italian flag

Completely different things

[hexed spire]

Love those monoblock wheels

[granite lynx]

i like these more

[lean hatch]

Shame about its track record

[granite lynx]
