I have this on repeat...as background music

I really appreciate seeing the close ups in the various garages you put in at the beginning. Seeing the machinery with out the body work reveals the things that interest me. Taking my camera through the pits I used to shoot photographs like that and it seem to upset or at least puzzle some crews. Spectators are supposed to take pretty pictures of pretty cars. I wanted to see all the linkages that made up the front wheel assembly or portray the workmanship in the beautiful curves of an exhaust system. They probably thought I might be a spy.

Nice to see they were open to the IMSA GT-P cars also being there. The Chevrolet Intrepid was one of them... even a couple of the Camel Lights cars were included i see... for those who don't know that's the Group C era equivalent to LMP2... Side note, someone needs to find the rear wheel spats for that #3 Silk Cut Jag because it's not period correct without them

Need to bring these back

Why cant we go back to this sound? These cars today just dont sound as good as these. There was a diverse engine lineup from a lot of manufacturers and it was magnificent. My friend originally did the engine in the Intrepid when it was in the states. I worked on it with him at Daytona several times. Great car. I dont know who maintains it now.

8:39 , if I'm not mistaken that is Pink Spice. It was for sale at one point... if I wasn't poor af I would buy it in a heart beat. Like all of these, it's a piece of history, was driven by Desire Wilson/Lyn St James & Cathy Muller in the late 80s/early 90s i think. I find these Group C cars are so much more interesting than modern hypercars and prototypes... maybe the new SGC 007 will make things more interesting.

God damn I miss those cars.

Usually after about 10 years, even unused tyres will crack and wear, making them near unusable, and quite ratty-looking. So most cars, even super-well-preserved old ones, usually get replacement tyres. Seems to be just about the only thing people don't care about not being original!

Yep, they are cars made by privateer teams and small manufacturers with low budget. Since costs to develop Group C cars and race them in the championship were increasing, FIA created a subclass called Group C Junior (later called Group C2). Cars were made slower than the factory 'C1s' but at least those teams could race all togheter at major events. Trying to make a comparison, it's as in the current WEC championship: LMP1 and LMP2 cars
