Greetings Group B history fans!
We are proud to announce the expansion of the Lada Samara EVA and S-Proto (Group B and S Prototypes) articles, including the T3 Paris-Dakar technical successor, with new information, data and pictures: CLICK HERE!
For our Italian readers, we have also added the Italian translation of the legacy article made possible by Federico Baglini, author at Rallyssimo: CLICK HERE!
Work continues diligently to catch up to over 3 years of files containing information and pictures!
A few years ago, we had the opportunity to be in contact with Chris Sansom, a former technician at Mazda Rally Team Europe (MRTE) from 1986 to 1989. Already a British Army AV8B Harrier and helicopter tech, he arrived just in time to be part of the company’s Group S project and was one of its main fabricators.
Chris therefore had a lot of insider information to share with us and we are proud to announce that we have updated the article accordingly. Chris also provided us with 49 period pictures that he took himself during the course of the project at MRTE.

We wish to extend our thanks to Piotr Malewski for his assistance!

THANKS TO YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS…
…we are delighted to announce that the Rally Group B Shrine will not close down as planned on December 31st, 2023. We now have received sufficient donations to allow the operation of the website to continue.
However, it is important for us to truly secure the website’s future and avoid the need for donations and threaten closure year after year. In that respect, we will take steps in the first quarter of 2024 and find a way to make the website operation self-sufficient, most likely via premium memberships.
We must also apologise that, during our absence due to lack of funds, the website seems to have suffered a breakdown of some sort with many important pages being inaccessible for viewing. We have only begun investigating these issues and we’ll try to fix them soon. We implore your patience while we perform these tasks.
Lastly, we wish to express a profound thank you to all of the people who found it in their hearts to donate and believe in our cause. Rest assured that you will not be forgotten when the website gets its overhaul!

Rally Group B Shrine owner
