Hoffy won't like this, but what about Group A. They only made one mistake with the regs, allowing 500 homolgation specials after the initial build of the 5000 basic cars.
Remember the first couple of years, before the RS500 and GT-R took hold. The racing had been very close, lots of variety, different cars winning at different circuits, different cars having a speed advantage on different parts of the circuit. The cars were fast and they looked it too. All different noises, sizes and configuartaions. The basic formula which tied engine size, minimum weight and wheel/tyre size together was a masterstroke. Also, gutted interiors and standard bodywork was right too. The cars were easy to recognise and having the original motor spec was also right.
