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.

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

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.
