'Here here!' for 1980s Group A Touring Cars I say!
I too was 'hooked' by the sight of the Group A Rovers and MGs, although I must admit to being totally Austin Rover biased, and therefore blinkered to anything else that actually managed to reach the grid!
I thank you for your wise, and very astute acknowledgement of my 'encyclopaedic contributions' - as you call them.
With Austin Rover motorsport programmes, and more recently MG Rover, I am fine. However, everything else is of little interest I'm afraid. As such, I don't think I could add a similar amount of detail to a thread concerning BMW's or Alfa's.
I thank you again.
