checking my docs on the sport quattro, it was, of course, homologated in late
1983, rather than the 1984 date i suggested. (reference robson's book, and the
zur????oksi book).
the evo model (20-off allowed under group b rules), produced the s1, where audi
could basically do what they liked (and did). this, according to jouko, was
raced with the torsen. as we all know, the s1 had a pretty short competition
history, as audi withdrew from group b before it was banned (in favour of group
a) at the end of 1985.
interesting if the torsen rallied @ san remo in '85 though....
as we all know, torsens did not make it onto audi's road cars until the 1987-88
model year.
