A line portrait of one of the most gifted drivers of the Group B era.
Henri Toivonen represented the next generation of rally talent. Precise, fearless, and instinctive behind the wheel, he quickly became the focal point of Lancia’s final Group B effort with the Delta S4.
His performances showed what the new machines were capable of in the hands of a driver able to match their pace.
Toivonen’s career tragically ended during the 1986 Tour de Corse, an event that marked the end for Group B itself.
This piece recognizes a driver whose talent defined the final chapter of the era.
