Sadly I got into racing way too late to enjoy Group B. But I love learning about it and imagining what it might have been like to be there.
I love this!!! Could you watermark it with your name, I’d love to share it and for you to be able to get credit and be known for it
My signature is there, is that what you mean?
And thank you!
Ha, it’s so subtle and fits in with the art I didn’t even spot it! Bravo, mate.
Group B is also one of my favourite eras of rally. So many cool cars. I make videos about them when I find the time 🤣
No shit? Would you mind sharing a few? I’d love to check em out.
Sure, it’s all on my Peertube channel.
But, I did one for the Quattro specifically here: https://video.gamerstavern.online/w/1QFkxig44RQBsaQ1wahHqQ
Still have some more in the works to make but time is a commodity these days eh 🤣
Would love to feature this art piece in one of my upcoming videos tbh- with your permission
Granted! And I’ll watch this later today, thank you!
30 years ago I lived along the road that lead to the Col de Turini. I never thought I’d see that name one day on Lemmy. Each year, before the rallye monte carlo they gave sticker with “rallye monte Carlo” and the year written on it, and we had to put it on our windshield to get to our home the day before and after the rally. I loved those stickers and I was a bit sad when my old car with the stickers died.
Wow! That’s amazing. Do you have any anecdotes or stories of the race to share by chance?
Not of great interest but here you go :
We used to go bathing in the river below the road (here). For a while there was a car on the side of the mountain, about 300meters below the road. The location was pretty much impossible to reach by foot. As a kid I was told it was a car from the rally and the pilots were dead and still inside. Now that I think about it I’m pretty sure the car was plain white, so certainly not a racing car. It was probably an old car somebody threw there because it was cheaper than having it towed to the scrapyard.
Another year though there was a crash on this wall while my brother and his friends seated on top of it. Nobody was hurt but it is kind of sad for the pilots considering it was a few hundred meters from the end of the race.
Wow! Thank you for sharing. Makes me feel a little more attached to this beautiful place in the world.
This is so cool! Great work.
Thank you!
