Group B absolutely had a cars problem, 3 of the 4 accidents mentioned were not crowd related, there was literally no close witness (only a video from far away) to Toivonen and Cresta's accident.
The Lancias were some of the worst offenders to the cars issue, but not the only one: many drivers complained that the cars had gotten way too powerful to be safe in Corsica.
And safety equipment was lacking and not consistently applied, for instance fuel tank skid plates were usually left off on asphalt tracks like corsica, which is likely how Toivonen's lancia instantly caught fire when it went off the road.
