The Lancia Delta S4 is probably one of the biggest icons in rallying. Alongside the Audi Quattro S1 and the Peugeot 205 T16, it is part of the magic trio of the legendary Group B. Henri Toivonen was promised a bright future and his 1986 season was starting off well. The 29-year-old Finn won the first round of the 1986 World Rally Championship: the iconic Monte Carlo! The Lancia Martini team had to cope with an eventful season, punctuated by many dropouts, a cancellation of its results at San Remo costing them the titles drivers and builders but, above all, the tragic death of Henri Toivonen and his co-pilot Sergio Cresto during the Tour de Corse 1986. An accident that would push the FIA to end Group B and its cars from the end of the 1986 season.
