Group B would have become Group S, that was the plan, and let us all remember it was not really the cars (other than Lancia) that were the problem, it was the events organisers and the spectators in some countries.
As Group B cars had a perfect safety record in rallycross, not many fires (Alamaki had a bad one in Austria) but their safety record was excellent.
What I meant was the manufacturer war, Group never really had a chance to decline, but you could see it coming.
Group A rallying certainly had a peak and decline as did the World Rally Car era, ending up with just Citroen and Ford. But at one time Skoda, SEAT, Peugeot, Hyundai, Suzuki, Subaru and Mitsubishi.
