I was fortunate to see a Group B race once as a kid in Europe and while in a refugee camp in Italy, I met a guy who claimed that a spoiler from a Audi Quattro S1 had cut off two of his fingers.

Check out the wiki entries on Group B Rally Racing and legendary driver Henri Toivonen.

It is often reported that during the 1986 Rally of Portugal, he drove his Delta S4 at the Estoril track, and recorded a lap time which would have qualified him in sixth position at that year’s Formula One Portuguese Grand Prix.[5][6] Eddie Jordan, in whose Formula Three team Toivonen made a few guest appearances, claimed he was certain that Toivonen would have become a winner in Formula One and compared his performances to Ayrton Senna. Too bad both of these great drivers died before their time.

Both Toivonen and Senna died young, killed in crashes resulting from their uber exciting yet tremendously dangerous driving style.

Remember folks, SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT, DRIVE SAFE.
