Really interesting 1 hour documentary on the "Group B" Rallycars of the late 1980's

"Madness on Wheels - Rallyings craziest years"

Those were the days when the cars were so overpowered, coupled with huge fan interest that there were a bunch of serious crashes into crowds.

Never mind that Portugese rally fans stand IN the road to wait for the cars, 'cuz you can see better from there - so, to win in Portugal, you drive full bore at the densest part of the crowd, 'cuz that's where the road is.
