512s, 917s, plus 312PB and Matras. Oh boy.
But lots of GT40s is OK too!
Though no doubt the MK16 E Types with Red Bull aero kits will take the win!
1865 is abit of a leap but i agree 65 - 75 would float my boat and to then take it up to 81 (or the end of grp 5/6) would be the icing.

As the speed differances could be (depending on drivers)a bit of a worry then maybe we could drop the ones before 1970.

That would leave the wonderful 917's, 512's, 908's, Alfa 33, matras, etc the 2 litre cars from March, Lola, Arbarth, Chevron etc.
Then the group 5 cars like the 512BB, 935 and M1s. Maybe the Renault Alpine and 936 would renew thier grp 6 battles.

what would give to see the Dome zero run again at the place it was designed for, or the De cadanet. That glorious DFV howling down the pit straight mixed in with the flat drone of the Porsche flat 6 turbo.

I've gone all goosey

whatever,the Grp c race last year turned into a farce, maybe it was the lack of practice but I would not want to see those great cars humbled again.
