The ‘Group B’ International Motorsports Category was conceived in the late 1970s as a return to the ‘good old days’ when amateur and factory teams alike could run the same production-based cars in either sports car racing or championship rally events.

By the early 1980s the class had become the ‘Godzilla’ of the rally scene and what resulted were the most awesome cars ever seen on the rally stages of the world - 600 horsepower, 4WD, turbocharged monsters that could cover forest, tarmac or gravel stages faster than anything ever seen before or since.

One such "Group B" monster was Renault's ultimate hatchback, the R5 Maxi Turbo.  Powered by a 1.4 litre turbocharged and mid-mounted engine, the rear-wheel drive Maxi was the final evolution of the R5 and produced an impressive 345bhp.  This t-shirt from the powersport gods collection is our tribute to an iconic Group B rally legend.
