The greatest cars in the greatest era of sportscar racing. Quite often they had to run seperate races for the GT classes because of the swelling entrance fields. I watched Daytona this year, I felt like dressing in black and mourning the Group C/GTP days.

I know what you mean about Group C/GTP- The second race meeting I ever went to was Group C at Silverstone in 1985- Porsche 956's, Lancias (and Paul's dad's Tiga!) Even nearly 20 years on, the image of sportscar racing that first comes to mind is a Group C car.
