      Master T That really is an unfortunate combination of letters. Funny story, where I live they teach a "KKK rule" for treating open wounds (in english it's something like cold, elevation, compression). You could snap an interesting photo of an elementary school class with a big KKK plastered on the blackboard.

    The Sauber-Mercedes C9 is one of a handful of cars that could top 400kmh on the old Mulsanne Straight. 730hp and only 1995lbs!!...it is a fitting car to wear the 'Silver Arrow' name :)

    Ahhh... 80's motorsport! Lenient rules. Loud engines. Big turbos. And beautiful liveries. Another reason why the 80's was the best decade.

    • @thethirdman225
      @thethirdman225 4 года назад

      The rules didn't specify engine types but that didn't mean they were lenient. They specified fuel allocation. Sure, you could have any engine you liked as long as you could get the most energy from your fuel allotment. It was, in fact, a fuel economy formula. Greenies, hippies and tree huggers rejoice. It was not an engine free-for-all in any sense but it probably was the golden age of motorsport. That said, there's more bull talked about Group C than just about any other formula, save for the old Group 5 from the late 60s / early 70s.

    I think only the Lambo and the Aston fall under "you may not know about" on this list, most people that know Group C probably know all the other cars quite well. Also, the Countach QVX technically isn't a Lambo, but a Lambo engine in a Spice chassis.

    • @tinyzukimonster970

    Buddy, the 956 is a rare Gr.C? WTF?, the 956 IS the most iconic Gr C car. Find "nobody is perfect"
    The 956 was extremely relevant in some new gadgets, was the first racecar to use a double clutch gearbox for example.
    Also de LC2, C9, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Nissan (IMSA IMSA IMSA), are all well known Gr.C/IMSA GTP cars.
    "Rare" are the Cougar C01, Rondeau M482, Mazda 727 (Gr.C Junior), the WM's the Nimord's (extremy ugly cars :P) and so on.

      GeraArg The 956 isn't as well known as the 962 because it wasn't run as long as the 962 was. The 962 had a street legal version sold in Europe which ended up being the basis for a "GT" class car which won the overall at LeMans over cars which were more modern in 1994 (the Dauer 962) and a 962C also won a race in the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (JGTC, now named the Super GT series) in 1994.

    There should be a class of racing where they allow the competitor to do whatever they want to their cars. No restrictions on engine size or turbos. No restrictions on downforce of driver aids. Let them go absolutely freaking balls to wall insane. It would be freaking awesome. You would have cars out there with 2500 hp and 4000lbs of downforce. Make all the races at least 300 miles long so plenty of laps to push the engines and cars. That would would be worth watching.
