Actually, using a Group B car to represent for the whole WRC cars is a bad representation as it is known that Group B cars has much less low-end torque than Group A, WRC (1997-2011), WRC (2017-2021) and Group Rally1.
This is because in real-life, the turbocharge system (Which sport bigger turbo and lacks anti-lag system) in Group B cars only works in a narrower, top-end rev range and have massive turbo lags. To compensate the lack of lower-end torque, drivers in real-life have to clutch-kicks to have the turbo spool up quicker. The clutch-kick is not needed in cars belonging to succeeding classes because their turbocharge system works at the wider rev range than the Group B cars.
See Peugeot 205 T16 for a more extreme case for this.

Might be true for the Peugeot, the Audi and the Ford but the Lancia was twin-charged. Lancia managed to reduce lag in lower RPM quite significantly so the Lancia shouldn't have that astronomical turbo lag the other cars have. Whether or not it's the power band or something else, Idk, we'll have to wait and see if there's a response from Codies.
