the group b challenge is an idea by Mark Lowe and DDMC
quote:
Darlington and District Motorclub have been asked to organise a sprint at Croft for Group B cars to determine which of the machines from the classic era of rallying is the fastest.
Apart from its on going centenary celebrations, the club is planning to pitch classics like the Peugeot 205T16, Audi Quattro, MG Metro 6R4 and Ford RS200 against each other.
The sprint format has been proposed because it would allow as many owners of the fire breathing cars to compete as possible.
DDMC'S plans includes classes from full spec original Group B cars, current rally spec machines and road going versions, running alongside the event will be an event for Classic Rally cars.

event news: quote from rallyforum.com At last night's committee meeting the decision was taken not to proceed with the event on March 18th as only 8 entries had been received. DDMC will, however, continue to move forward with this event with a view to finding a suitable Summer date I had been intouch with Jimmy McRae who would of competed if a car could of been found but sadly not to be at the moment

oh what a shame... people need this kind of events where we can see a piece of rally history at the track. Ok UK has some events for group B racers and the old rally cars races with no timing are famous in middle Europe. but still a really shame and even Jimmy didnt got a car. I tried to get an event to here for Finland and even AKK-Motorsport liked for the idea but it seems none of the clubs for what I have taken contact havent even replied . I know as I am in many old rallycar owners sites that intrest would have been to got an event to Finland.
