Toivonen and his co driver died is Corsica IIRC.
Edit: binned it off a corner into a massive drop according to google.

If you look at videos of the time you see people barely getting out of the road while cars just miss them. The rally of Portugal crash also played a bigger part, as avoiding people on the road the RS200 crashed in to the crowd.
Now this maybe taken the wrong way, but racing/rallying drivers die or get seriously injured. It is a fact of the profession. People have a morbid fascination, if you watch the film Grand Prix at the end when Sarti is killed and his mistress reaction of that is what the people come to see.

All the group B cars were nuts, Metro 6R4 stands out as one of the silliest.
From memory it was cancelled due to safety concerns?
