This page collects the best Group B material elsewhere on the web, so you can go deeper than this section does. It covers the World and European championships and the national series from 1982 to 1986: official archives, homologation records, manufacturer heritage pages, period reports, longreads, books, official video and the clubs and events that keep the cars running. Every link was checked on 22 October 2026. Each one is labelled with its language and type, and links behind a paywall are marked subscription. Use the filter to search by driver, car, rally or year.
