I0ve looking for the site which has the stage times from the old WRC (especially, during the Group B times). I know I've seen it, but I was stupid and didn't bookmark it and now I just cannot find it :( :(
Does anybody know?
Try and find the site and then look at Corsica!
Somehting daft like a 50 mile stage somewhere! In GpB cars!

These may not be the exact sites you are looking for, but they are full of great facts.
Jonnkas World Rally Archive (http://www.juwra.com/index.html)
and
Rallybase nl (http://www.rallybase.nl/index.php)
Chunder would the stage you are thinking about be the 1985 Corsica, SS30, Liamonte - Suaricchio, length 83.16 km, stage winner Jean Ragnotti in a Renault 5, a time of 1:08:22 average speed 72.98 km/h

That site is really amazing! Corsica was really a horror rally, 1075 km competitive stagekm's in three days :eek:

Can you imagine spending an hour on ONE stage!
That is unbelievable, Jean must have practically done a lap of the island. I mean modern rallies are over and done with by about three hours arent they??
It is like the old circuit in ireland aswell, they practically toured the whole damn island!
You also have to bear in mind that the Group B cars didnt have active diffs and the luxury of all the thigs the drivers have now!
Plus the motor was right behind you, these guys were total heroes and its things like that that make you realise!
