@Craig Yates that power to weight description sums it up nicely!! I'm glad i was lucky enough to be around when Group B first came on the scene and remember watching Tony Pond on what was then the Lombard RAC Rally. Since the end of Group B i've only seen the occasional 6R4 at hill climb meets. They really were a lethal machine.....quite funny when you think the bog standard Metro pumped out 45bhp achieving the mind blowing speed of 80 odd mph and the choice of many pensioner pottering along to the supermarket!!

Awesome! :) It's not difficult to find onboards of classicperformance cars driven on some showcase events: reveved a bit, accelerated a bit, but everything only to give the public some idea of what the car was like. Onboards like these, on the other hand, where such a car is "driven in anger", where its potential is truly exploite, are rare. Kudos to Craig and whoever made this possible. And thanks for the video!

This is one of my favorite GR. B cars, the Metro took a different approach, going NA with larger displacement and more cylinders. This results in superior power curve, where there is no turbo lag and torque is available in low end rpm, and this thing sounds awesome! Legend has it this car had reliability issues though.

I never truly realised that he had this much talent. I watched him more recently compete on televised stages of the WRC rallies across the world scoring many stage wins but I believe it was only a matter of time until he achieved his first WRC win. Now having seen his speed and commitment on this wet tarmac stage, wow. I don't know if the rallying world may ever truly come to terms and with what they lost when he sadly passed away in a tragic accident in preparation tests for rally croatia. In all the rally viewing interviews with him between stages it was no surprise he always came across as such an intelligent, humble, grounded and good natured human being, let alone the talent he showed behind the wheel. So proud to have Irish roots, thinking of your family and friends. Rest in peace Craig Breen.

I was a big fan of the RS200, but that aside, it was always a joy (and still is) to hear that V6 working hard and doing its job.

Anyway as I was just on my bike I pushed the gate open and made my way through the hedge and racing around a very short farm type circuit was WILL GOLOP in his Metro 6R4. I sat and watched Will for an hour, I loved the 6R4 ever since 😀

Believe me the 6R4 was spectacular, yes the Audi's with flames shooting out of their exhausts and tremendous engine roar were fantastic! But nothing compared to the screaming V6 6R4 sound in the Welsh forests. Unfortunately the group B was banned and if memory serves me right the 6R4 only had about 18 months of group B life. I am sure if the group had of gone on longer it would have been very successful:-)
