1986 World Rally Championship season
Encyclopedia
The 1986 World Rally Championship season was the 14th season of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile
(FIA) World Rally Championship
(WRC). The season consisted of 13 rallies
, including all twelve venues of the previous season
as well as the addition of the Olympus Rally
. This marked the return of the WRC to the United States
and North America
, as well as the first world rally to be held on the western side of the continent. The December rally would also be the only WRC event to feature Group B
competition in the United States.
The 1986 season was notable for being the last World Rally Championship season driven with the powerful and popular Group B rally cars, which were banned after the fatal crashes at the Rally Portugal, where three spectators were killed and more than 30 injured, and at the Tour de Corse
, where Henri Toivonen
and his co-driver Sergio Cresto
died in a fireball accident. The drivers' championship was won by Peugeot's Juha Kankkunen
, followed by two other Flying Finns, Lancia
's Markku Alén
and Kankkunen's teammate Timo Salonen
. The manufacturers' title was taken by Peugeot, after a close battle with the Martini
-sponsored Lancia team.
and Henri Toivonen
took the win with his Lancia Delta S4
, making himself the favourite for the title. At the International Swedish Rally, Toivonen had to retire due to an engine failure and Juha Kankkunen
won the event with his Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 E2
, ahead of Toivonen's teammate Markku Alén
. At the next rally in Portugal, Joaquim Santos lost control of his Ford RS200
and plunged into the crowd, killing three spectators and injuring more than 30. All the factory team drivers decided to withdraw from the race, giving the win to home country's relatively unknown driver, Joaquim Moutinho
.
Another fatal accident at the Tour de Corse
would change the course of rallying. Toivonen's and his co-driver, Sergio Cresto
's, Lancia went off the side of the road, plunged down a ravine and landed on its roof. The aluminum fuel tank underneath the driver's seat was ruptured by the trees and exploded. Toivonen and Cresto had no time to get out and burned to death on their seats. The accident had no witnesses.
This caused Jean-Marie Balestre
and the FISA
to immediately freeze the development of the Group B cars and ban them from competing for the 1987 season. Audi
and Ford decided to withdraw from competing, while other teams continued with their Group B models until the end of the season. Peugeot
boss Jean Todt
was outraged over the ban and pursued legal action against the federation. The Tour de Corse was eventually won by Peugeot's Bruno Saby
, which marked his career-first WRC victory. The third driver to take his debut win during the season was Lancia's Miki Biasion, who edged out teammate Alén to win the Rally Argentina
.
The season ended with more controversy when the organizers of the Rallye Sanremo
disqualified the entire Peugeot team from the event due to illegal side skirts. However, the cars were proven legal by the FIA, and the Italian organizers were blamed for not allowing French Peugeots to take the win ahead of the Italian Lancias. Eventually, the FIA annulled the results of the whole event. Peugeot then became the manufacturers' champions, but Kankkunen was not sure about his title over Alén until three weeks after the season ended.
1986 marked the only season in which the FIA issued the World Championship for Drivers of Group A Cars. Swede Kenneth Eriksson
, driving a Volkswagen Golf
GTI 16V took the title ahead of Austrian Rudi Stohl in his Audi Coupe Quattro
, a lower powered version of the Group B Quattros. This championship became unnecessary in future years due to the elimination of Group B cars. From 1987 onwards, Group A cars would be the vehicles used by drivers competing for the main World Rally Championship for Drivers.
