Sung – Thunder Love
All in all, it’s an excellent video for lazy morning viewing. It picks you up like the first sip of morning-coffee watching these four-wheel-drive Tasmanian devils on full attack mode. It is worth a re-watch come Monday when you need a little inspiration to start the week.
Watching this video makes you wonder who was craziest: the drivers, co-drivers, or the fans? It was a festival of adrenaline for all those involved. Group B era is one of those segmented motorsport moments like V10 Formula 1 cars and dirt-track era NASCAR. They’ll never happen again and have become mystical thanks to the stories, legends, and nostalgia viewed through rose-tinted hindsight.
The 1980s were totally rad.
