Henri Toivonen was one of the fastest drivers of the Group B era and held the record as the youngest WRC event winner for more than 27 years.
Toivonen and Cresto died in a crash on the 1986 Tour de Corse. Group B was ended as a WRC category after the season.
The Delta S4’s raw power matched Toivonen’s aggressive style, creating one of the most iconic pairings in rally history.
Toivonen was known for his all-or-nothing approach, blisteringly fast, often breathtaking to watch. He pushed the limits of his machines with a combination of natural talent and youthful confidence. His tragic crash at the 1986 Tour de Corse sent shockwaves through the rally community and directly influenced the FIA’s decision to ban Group B. Toivonen’s legacy is that of unfulfilled greatness, and he remains a symbol of both what rallying achieved, and what it lost, in its most dangerous era.
