RS200 went through about 30 spectators and killed 3 people didn't it? Then there was the exploding fireball incident after that car crashed which tok them 30 mins to get to 
I don't think Group B was as bad as the early days of F1 though, at least one person died per race

32 people and 4 dead ed, yeah 
problem was the size of the crowds, not the speed of the cars.
remove the spectators, then its not a problem.

WTF 
the FIA sucks, banning group b, banning turbos and silly fuel in f1. the MSA aren't much better, changing the rules in the BTCC so its no fun.
