Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    That IS Rallying.

    Some great footage and great drivers Richard Burns and Henri Toivonen.

    I might have missed McCrae, he must have been there.

    Group B, Cossies the works. I feel good for having watched that!

        Very cool video. One of the "relad videos" was McRae in the WRC98 Subaru on tarmac, also a good view

                    Rallying in the 80s was off its head, with the group b cars nd such, but everyone kept dying so i guess they kinda had to stop it. Rallying has def gone downhill from there especially in the world rally with alot of the manufacturers pulling out. There are NO factory works teams in australia at the moment. Last one was Toyota but they pulled out only this year, so privateers only! Everyones running out of money, i think thats the problem.

                    ...only the coolest people do rallying.

                    Yep.

                    That's right

                      The toyota team you speak of may be going to do something with Passats or Jettas. I've got my ear to the ground with a contact in Colin Osbourne's team. But that's last i heard, which was quite a few months ago now.

                      Only the coolest people do rallying? Pfft, whatever, Trevor.

                            It was more of a problem with spectators being too close and lack of management that led to teams such as Audi pulling out, which hastened the demise of Group B.

                            Still the most awesome cars and produced some of the best drivers of the time.

                              Yeah it was mainly the spectators that brought its demise, a few died in one accident as did a couple of drivers in the same year so the FIA put a stop to it. The cars these days are actually much faster though
