Too Fast to Race is an academic project compiling footage from the 80's remembering the golden era of rallying, the Group B Rallye. The result is a photobook showcasing the environment surrounding this era, from the cars, the people, and the beautiful landscapes.

Group B was a set of regulations introduced in 1982 for competition vehicles in sportscar racing and rallying regulated by Fédération Internationale de L’Automobile. The Group B regulations fostered some of the fasters, most powerful, and most sophisticated rally cars ever built and is commonly referred to as the golden era of rallying. However, a series of major accidents, some of them fatal, were blamed on their outright speed and lack of crowd control at events.
