I do'nt actually think the supras were group B cars. Group B was mostly AWD super cars and was banned in 1986.

you didn't read the thread, I had meant to say group A and had already corrected myself (even though it's not group A either)
if you look up team europe you will find they did place first in the bejing/ivory coast rally, but with the death of the co-driver and the introduction of the awd celica it's easy to see why the mk3 wasn't used after. and they were all NA, I don't think the turbo engine had even been developed. here's my mk3 rally footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyVCfqcmcGA

If you go there towards the bottom it will have a list of rally wins for team europe.

In 1988 theres a Celica Supra Turbo (MA70) listed as a winner in the Safari Rally.
Im pretty sure that 2 in the video were turbos. If we had turbos at the dealership in 1987 I'm sure Toyota Europe had them too.
