LANCIA 037 RALLY ABARTH
This is actually (after the Group 5 Montecarlo Turbo) the second
evolution of the Beta Montecarlo. Again only the centre section of the road car
was used with additional subframes for the front and rear suspension and a
longitudinal 2L, 16V supercharged 4 cylinder engine.
After design started in 1980, homologation of (200 built) Lancia's new
rally weapon in Group B was achieved per April 1st, 1982 and Lancia
starts building 20 EVO1 cars (#301 - #320) for the FISA inspection end July
1982. The EVO2 (#400 - #420) was later homologated per January 1st,
1984.
All the chassis destined for rally use were just drawn from the stock and
taken to the special production process. For the EVO1 several cars were also
renumbered ( #302 = ex 005; #320 = ex #161; #318 = ex #176; #317 = ex #153 ).
The rally version (Corsa) has 16" front and 18" rear wheels,
the stradale 16" front and rear. The early rally version also still had a
Weber carburettor.
The 1982 season would be seen as a test for contesting the 1983 season with a perfect car to win the World Rally Championship.

The target for the factory Martini Team was the defence of the World Championship for Manufacturers, and not the Drivers. The EVO 2 was homologated on January 1 1984 with external a sharper cut-off at the back and a 2111 cc, 325 bhp engine.
It would be a difficult season competing with the 4 WD Audi Quattro and the new 4 WD Peugeot 205.
For 1984 Lancia also supported 3 Italian teams with cars:
Jolly Club /Totip: 2 cars Massimo Biasion/Tiziano Siviero and Adartico Vudafieri/Luigi Pirollo.
Grifone / Olio Fiat: Fabrizio Tabaton/Luciano Tedeschini (Italian Championship)
Tre Gazzelle / WEST: Carlo Capone/Sergio Cresto for 9 rounds of the European Championship

At the annual press conference in December 1984 Lancia unveiled the DELTA S4, their latest rally-creation. It was expected to enter the World Rally Championship from the 1000-Lakes (end of August) onwards. Up to then the Martini 037 Rally will be used for a limited number of rallys. Updated now with wider rear wheels and 340bhp.
It would again be a difficult season competing with the 4 WD Audi Quattro and the 4 WD Peugeot 205, but the priority for Lancia was developing the Delta S4 to beat the other 4WD makes.

The DELTA S4, the most expensive investment Lancia had made in a rally machine, would be the Lancia Martini factory weapon for the World Rally Championship, the proven Martini Rally 037 will only be used for the Safari Rally.
It would again be a difficult season competing with the 4 WD Peugeot 205and the 4 WD Audi Quattro. The Delta S4 had around 425 bhp - 45 m/kg and a weight of around 1000 kg. The factory used Pirelli tyres.
After the tragic Toivonen/Cresta accident in the Tour de Corse on May 2 1986 the FIA banned the Group B cars for the 1987 WRC season and stopped further evolution models immediately. Audi Sport withdraw from the WRC after the Tour de Corse.

The redesigning of the front roof pillars after Bettega's fatal Corsica accident in 1985 helped saving the crew from injuries. Vic Preston's car contested the Kenya National Championship as a round-the-year development program. |

Markku Alen was now leading the Drivers Championship (124 pts), but the final positions had to wait for the FISA to rule on a protest from Peugeot after its exclusion mid-way the San Remo Rally.
On December 1986 the FISA scrapped the results of the San Remo, so Juha Kankkunen is the 1986 Driver Champion!

The ban on Group B and the proposed Group S cars for 1987 meant that Lancia would compete in the 1987 WRC with the new Delta HF 4WD Group A car. The 2 L turbo with intercooler would have 230 bhp and 5000 cars had to be made for homologation.
The cancellation of Group S was a big and expensive blow to Lancia. They had a car ready, officially known as Fiat Experimental Composite Vehicle, ECV. The totally carbon fibre car, from wheel rims to roof, had a specially designed Triflux engine with twin turbochargers providing 600 bhp. However this car had been further developed into the ECV2 (1988), with a changed body and boosting even more bhp, this car is now in the Lancia Collection in Turin.

Lancia politics found they didn't have a car for poor Patrick on the Antibes Rally when the two contenders had equal points. Of course the championship had to be won with the new Delta S4!
Jolly Club also entered the ex Grifone/Esso, TO30684D, ch. 205 in the Italian Championship
Patrick Snyers, Rally 037, also contested the Belgian Championship
Salvador Servia, Rally 037, clinched the Spanish Championship with wins at the Gerona Rally (Apr. 5/6) and the Villa de Llanes Rally
Carlos Bica, Rally 037, came second in the Portuguese Championship
In Switzerland the Criterium Jurassien (Mar. 14/16) was contested:
| Jean-Pierre Balmer/Denis Intermühle, Rally 037, 1st place |
| Roger Krattiger/Reto Meier, Rally 037, ex Volta EVO2, TOY75887, #133, 2nd place |
|
Philippe Roux/Paul Corthay, Rally 037, 3rd place |
Roger Krattiger/Reto Meier also took 1st place in both the Lugano and Baden Würtenberg rally with Nordica/Canonica sponsor.
At the FISA Executive meeting, December 1986, the regulations for the European rally Championship were turned inside out in a totally unforeseen manner. Having confirmed at various meetings during 1986 that most Group B cars could compete, FISA now issued a statement that 'under no circumstances may a Group B car win a round of the European Championship and may not be able to complete the full course of the event' .
So effectively 1986 was the last year a Lancia Rally 037 had competed in a rally.
1987 Rallying 037
In 1987 however in Italy the 037's were allowed to compete in part of several rallys.
