There is one that competes in Retro Rallycross events - and there will be more group B cars doing demo laps at Lydden in May as part of the world rallycross meeting. I'd expect 6R4, RS200, Audi Quattro at least on track (with 205 T16, Delta S4 static). It's worth keeping an eye on the website to see if they give details of which cars will be running - if Lawrence Gibson is there that's all the 6R4 you'll need.
6R4s will turn up wherever the 'slowly sideways' (or whatever the current incarnation is called) meet - so things like Race Retro, Rallyday, Festival of Speed. Usually these are doing demo runs and the cars are in 'works' liveries.
There are also 6R4s that compete on stage rallies still at various levels (there was one at the Brands Hatch rally in January for example). There are also 6R4s competing in various hillclimbs, sprints and there was (is?) one competing in Time Attack. So they are still out there and active - you just have to scan entry lists to track them down!
