The Sonorous Sounds of the Mazda RX-7 Group B Rally Car

mazda rx-7 group B rally

The Group B Mazda RX-7‘s brief claim to fame was a podium finish at the 1985 Acropolis Rally amidst a field of AWD monsters like the Audi Quattro. But Mazda threw its weight behind its Group A 323 and Group B was dissolved the following year anyway. You don’t really see much footage of these cars,Β and this guy’s really giving it some.

    Awesome! Reminds me of when I was late to pick up my daughter at the mall and had to hurry a bit.

    Those spectators are crazy too, looks like it would be easy to get slammed…

    Jimbo – I hope you didn’t spray the shoppers with pebbles as you pulled into the parking lot πŸ™‚

    So…did your daughter require some sort of special counselling when she got home from the mall? πŸ™‚

    I’m embarassed to admit that I had no idea RX-7s were campaigned in Group B…and I’m old enough to remember.
