Nowt wrong with Reliant, I've got 2 of them............ at this point I hasten to add that they're Scimitar GTE's :wink:

Group B was stopped because the cars were getting way too fast & powerful. If memory serves, I think there was also a massive accident in which quite a few spectators were killed which hammered the final nail in the coffin.
