History in video - "Too Fast to Race"

[bullie77]

I put this thread in here although it regards motorsports because I feel that the global importance of it deserves to be considered as of general interest to all cars enthusiasts, not only the motorsports ones.

This a full documentary in YouTube entitled Too Fast To Race. It covers the origins, the beginning, the evolution and the end of what it is argueably the golden era of motorsports - the Group B era! It'll show and present all the great machines produced at that time, from the overwhelming monsters like the Audi Quattro, Lancia Delta S4 or Peugeot 205 T16, to the less succesful and more forgotten ones like the Autin Rover 6R4 or the Citroen BX 4TC. But it'll wil cover also what was make out of those who, due to the sudden end of the class, where without a place to race. It'll also covers an interesting part of the international Group B regulations approach: what if those rules were applied to track race cars? What sort of street going homologation built cars would have been used to it? Well, it'll show you three examples of it.

This is a great documentary, of interest to most of us. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
