Why did group b stop, i wasnt around to enjoy it.
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.
Spectators love to get close to the action, and as the group b cars were fast as feck, one of the drivers crested a ridge to find a wall of spectators in his way
Despite braking he injured 31 and killed 3
Wasn't it Toivenen(sp?) who crashed, and due to the remoteness it took 30mins for the rescuers to get to the scene to find a charred shell and two skeletons inside

check out the wiki Gary

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_B

Modern rally cars put out around 300bhp
Some of these were putting out 500 to 600 bhp

Audi had developed an engine producing 1000bhp which ended up being used in hillclimbs, notably the famous pikes peak
