Group B races refer to a category of rally racing that was prominent in the 1980s. These events featured high-performance vehicles specifically designed for off-road competition. The cars were known for their powerful engines and advanced technology, allowing them to tackle challenging terrains at high speeds. The Group B category was officially sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and included famous manufacturers like Audi, Lancia, and Peugeot. However, due to safety concerns following several fatal accidents, the Group B class was discontinued after the 1986 season, leaving a lasting legacy in motorsport history.
