Group A Thread

My point is that is obviously difficult to drive the V8's well. You can see this by how many people struggle when they get into the series proper & by how many mistakes the development series drivers routinely make. I don't think that the difficulties are derived from the road cars - there isn't enough of them left to matter. I think it is a result of the regulations.

I would reckon any Group A car is by definition, more compromised by its factory origins than a V8.

Ah, um, sorry. Me neither.

Saturdays at work suck too.

There was a good story from the VK Commodores at Spa in 1986. There is a book about it - Brock Moffat on the road to Spa.

thats brilliant, i forgot about those days when i hated the skylines, how things change.

the ford had some poke down the straight though, and talk about giving the BMW a rev. and the VN boat, far out.

[N1GTR]

The bmw's were so nice looking back then. How did bmw manage to get it wrong over the last 10 years

yeah that was classic but if the cars in front are blocking and you are going that much faster you have to go somewhere....

I'm 99% sure the got a black flag or penalty after the race for it though

[Marlin]

Yeah he got a drive through

There was another corner in the same race where he took a very "unique" line using all the GTR's traction...... great stuff

[Jetwreck]

Bit of Gold for you!
