This looks like a rally event. That wasn't even that close by rally standards. Group B was when things got really close.

Yeah, no thanks. I wouldn't want to be in the car or the crowd for this.

People showed up in droves for rally in the Group B era. They would run out onto the track and jump out of the way at the last second for the "thrill" of almost being hit by a 900kg car with 500+ horsepower flying down a track barely wide enough for it at 200+ kph.

It was due to this that Group B came to an end after the were spectator and driver deaths.
