Pretty cool cars these group b rally. Their a lot of fun in GTS so it would be nice if more came to the game. The Audi Sport quattro S1 Pikes Peak '87 is an awesome car it’s pikes peak, but group b in Gran turismo sport, so an article on this car would be a nice read any chance?
Is it just me that gets the feeling @Joey D picks quite a few of the cars for this series while playing Forza?
You're talking as a Brit. The Austin Rover brand was barely known outside of Europe (actually the Europeans quite liked our BL cars... to a certain extent), and in fact - unlike the Audi Quattro Sport, Peugeot 205 T16, Lancia Delta S4 and 037, Renault 5 Turbo, and Ford RS200 - the factory 6R4 never actually competed in a rally outside of Europe.Hardly little-know. There weren't a massive amount of group b cars and the metro is one of the prominent ones.
Think stranger. Much, much stranger@Famine would that be the 305?
It also almost inevitably comes up whenever you see an internet article about the XJ220, or an article about the series as a whole (probably written up as "most cars in the class used turbo four cylinders, but not this one"). I'd say the only ones that get more exposure thirty years removed are the S4 and the Quattro Sport.Hardly little-know. There weren't a massive amount of group b cars and the metro is one of the prominent ones.
I had to look it up, but it's got to be the 504 Pickup, right? That's about as strange as you can get!Think stranger. Much, much stranger
Yup.I had to look it up, but it's got to be the 504 Pickup, right? That's about as strange as you can get

Incredible, thanks for pointing this thing out, reading up on it now. I never heard of this thing!Yup.
Homologated into Group B due to, of all things, the cabin space.

I thought you were a Mazda man? Brap brap brap...6R4 is pretty much up there - especially as the only naturally aspirated car
We've been there.I wouldn't say little known...
Always my favorite because of the absurdly high revving, N/A V6:
