Page "Talbot" Paragraph 39

In the 1981 season, Talbot continued with Fréquelin and Toivonen.

Although the team's only win came at the Rally Argentina, driven by Fréquelin, consistent podiums and points-scoring finishes saw Talbot take the manufacturers ' title.

Fréquelin narrowly lost the drivers ' title to Ford's Ari Vatanen.

The 1982 season saw the series dominated by the four-wheel-drive Audi Quattro, and with Group B regulations coming up, Talbot withdrew from the WRC.

However, the Talbot name continued in the championship, as Jean Todt founded the Peugeot Talbot Sport in 1981.

This Peugeot factory team debuted in 1984 and won the drivers ' and manufacturers ' titles in 1985 and 1986.
