Lancia Rally Group B - 037, Delta S4, ECV, ECV2

The Group B cars marked one of the most thrilling yet most tragic periods in the history of world rallying and beyond. The 037, the S4, the EVC and the ECV2, "ephemeral player" of a still-born Group S, were the unforgettable protagonists of the 1982-1986 seasons that for the Lancia marque were constellated by a series of World, European and Italian titles, but also by terrible accidents that cost the lives of firstly Attilio Bettega and then Henri Toivonen and Sergio Cresto.

Sergio Remondino, a historic journalist and great expert in the multifaceted field of rallying, traces that unforgettable era, year by year, through a text rich in anecdotes and thanks to the contribution of the engineer Sergio Limone, one of the artificers of the Group B cars.
This invaluable book is completed by the evocative images of Reinhard Klein, one of the most successful rallying photographers.

Lancia 037 - The Development & Rally History of a World Champion

In the late 1970s, constant rule changes made competing in the World Rally Championship difficult. This book explains how Lancia responded with the 037 rally car and explores the regulations that teams had to follow to remain competitive.

Developed rapidly to challenge the Audi Quattro, the Lancia 037 succeeded thanks to careful design choices. With the close involvement of designer and chief engineer Ing. Sergio Limone, the book offers detailed insight into the secret development process. It describes how Limone determined the car's layout within the limits of the rules, and how testing took place in secrecy at Fiat's facilities around Turin.

The story is supported by Limone's own photographs from restricted areas, giving a rare behind-the-scenes view. The book then shifts to the Lancia 037's rally career, following its role in winning the 1983 World Rally Championship for Makes and many other events. Input from team members and rare action photos enrich the account.

Additional sections include tests of key cars and records of events and chassis used. This is a detailed and well-illustrated history of one of rallying's most iconic vehicles.
