Citroën Visa Lotus, 1982. Citroën’s ‘Genesis Project’ was their attempt to compete in the early 80s World Rally Championship Group B. Lotus built two prototypes using the mid-engined/rear wheel drive Esprit chassis and the turbocharged Type 910 version of their 16 valve 2.2 litre engine, with a Visa body bolted on. As Audi and other Group B competitors were switching to 4 wheel drive the project was abandoned and the cars never raced. The one surviving prototype now resides at Citroen’s heritage centre, The Conseratoire Museum at the Aulney-sous-Bois factory in Paris

Group C vehicles that are racing sports cars

is not classified by displacement as in the past,

Only the total amount of fuel used is specified (good fuel consumption is essential);

What type of engine can you use if you clear this?

It is a challenge for manufacturers as they are willing to participate.

It has become a very important category. The same regulations apply from the following year.

The world championship match “WEC Japan” by Fujis

Since it started at Pedeway, Nissan also started

Developed a carbon engine and mounted it on a foreign chassis.

Start participating. As an extension of that, to the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Participated in the race, the first challenge was in 1986, and the best in 1990.

Although it became a fast machine and won pole position, unfortunately, the battle ends without victory. In the 80s-90s

Also in WSPC (World Sports Prototype Championship) he participated full-time and finished 3rd in the series in 1990.

At that time in the United States, a category similar to Group C, IMSA-GTP, which is a popular cars actively participate in the race, Nissan GTP ZX-T

He was the champion from 1988 to 1999.

Nissan has been in the WRC (World Rally Championship) for 7-8 years.

Although he was able to take second place in the series for three consecutive years, the new vehicle In the era of Group B (starting in 1983) and Group A (starting in 1988) after the regulations came into effect, they often played supporting roles. However, there are still marathon raids such as the Paris-Dakar Rally, and popularity in the United States.

At stadiums, off-road races, etc. that collect

/The motorsports boom was ignited.

PIC CAPTIONS

Local Kenyan expert Shehkar Mehta and his beloved PA10 Violet achieved the feat of winning the Safari Rally four years in a row from 1979 to 1982. Among the many international rallies, the Safari Rally is far more demanding than the events held in Western Europe, and it became an ideal venue for Japanese cars to demonstrate their excellence.

The "Silhouette Formula" car, which was born in Germany in the late 1970s, is a heavily modified racing car that retains only a slight silhouette of the production car. It is equipped with a trendy turbocharger and captivates fans with its overwhelming straight-line speed. In Japan in the early 1980s, Skylines and Silvias spewed flames and raced around Fuji Speedway and other places. Its power is 570bhp

Group C competition, 1985 WEC Japan. More than 80,000 spectators packed into Fuji Speedway in heavy rain. The works Porsche 956 on the first row of the grid withdrew early, and Kazuyoshi Hoshino, driving the March B5G Nissan (No. 28) that qualified third, won the race, which was shortened to two hours due to bad weather. Although bad weather was on their side, it was the first time for a Nissan car and the first Japanese to win a world championship race.

AU where hornywolff are rally racers. One can be the 1st driver and the other can be the co-driver!

(if you don't know a lot about rally racing, the co-driver is the one in the passenger seat who is reading out race directions to the driver (through a headset) usually things like where to turn, severity of turns, incidents on the track, what part of the map is coming up, how fast to go, etc. Co-drivers might also preform maintenance on the car during a race!)

The main driver does the driving part, and has good reaction times to listen to what the co-driver tells them. Kind of like if your racing engineer talked you through the entire race

Oh! That would be amazing! Okay I need to do a deep dive into their racing career to see who would be the best option as the driver. But that would be just an amazing idea. Them rallying across the world. 👀Okay maybe I'll put it into the 80'🤔 so that they'll do rally during the Group B and even battle with Michelle Mouton (such a queen BTW. Look her up she is everything 😍💙). And then they could do rally at the Dakar or even go to the pikes spik? 🤔

But I love the idea of the husbands being rally drivers and going full in 💛 so thank you anon.

A monsters story.

Lancia Delta S4 When I was in my teens, I had the chance to follow the WRC in the first half of the 80s, better known as the Group B rally era by any motorsport’s aficionado. Group B was a set of regulations, created by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) in 1982, that specified the characteristics that a GT (Gran Turismo) car had to comply to participate in the World…

Racing On magazine article on the B-ing Mitsubishi GTO N1 racecar. Translation below.

If you remember this vehicle, or this coloring, you may be willing to admit that you have a fair amount of races. Sponsored by Recruit's former employment and career change information magazine, B --ing. The owner is the Mitsubishi GTO with the N1 endurance specification. The owner is Hideyuki Nozawa, a musician known as the nickname for hair crabs. He has been fond of racing since he was a child, and he once dreamed of a racing driver. It's impossible to surpass the worshiping Ozim Clark. " However, he was successful as a musician and looked back on his surroundings. He began to think about the race that he had given up, and decided to participate in the race as a team owner. At the Car Championship (JTC), I was running the BMW M3 with the same color ring as this GTO, but when the N1 endurance series started in 1990, I also participated in this with the Galant VR 4. JTC and NI endurance. The foot straw should have been a significant burden for the privater, but the Kegani Racing did it well, and the following year it was able to survive the JTC Class 2 championship. This GTON1 durable vehicle. is . NI is a vehicle regulation unique to Japan that complies with the FIA-Groove. ”It was a category that matched the actual situation of motorization motor racing at that time. N1 durable late 80's mass-produced car born from Japan. Race power.

It was not the case that the application for approval was submitted, but on the contrary, it was impossible to obtain it due to the problem of the number of production units, and there was a problem due to the country with multiple vehicle types. N1 Endurance paid attention to these points, and by adopting the JAF registered vehicle system used in domestic rallies, it became possible for a wide range of vehicles to participate. The series has been renamed Super Taikyu in 1965 as Super Taikyu in 2 years, but it has been able to incorporate more vehicle regulations and modification regulations from time to time to allow more mass-produced vehicles to participate. In particular, it had a characteristic as a series. Displacement In addition to ST1 ~ 4 classes by drive system, in recent years, ST5 class for hybrid cars and small displacement cars with 1500 or less, STX class for FIA --GT3 vehicles, TIA --GT vehicles ST --Z class, TCR Vehicle ST TCR class will be newly established. The advantage of the JAF registered vehicle system is that it can participate in motorsbots even if it does not have 2500 vehicles per year like the group, and this Mitsubishi GTO was one of these vehicles.

The Tegory division is based on the reflection of the Group 2/4 regulations that have fallen into excessive tuning competition, and is not a post-modification but a basic mechanism of mass-produced vehicles. Was adopted. Group A regulations have been applied to national championships such as the BTC (European Touring Car Championship) and JTC, and regional athletes' rights to the FI (World Automobile Federation), and have been considered mainly by entrant manufacturers, but have reduced performance and cost. It was expected that the Grub N Regulations would be used as a support class for competitions or groups with an eye on the actual participating players. For that reason, the scope of modification of Group N was limited to safety equipment such as roll cages and the minimum necessary for him to participate in competitions such as suspension and brakes. In other words, in order to compete in both categories of Group A / N in an advantageous manner, he can conclude that he should produce a vehicle with a racing mechanism at the time of marketing. However, the FIA ​​requires a group of more than 5,000 vehicles per year for up to two years in order to obtain FIA approval in order to prevent the rise of high-performance vehicles due to low-volume production. When the minimum production volume of 2500 units from 1 year was set and the story was returned to NI endurance, JTC was subject to Group A regulations for manufacturer teams, and it was called a tuner or shob unit. The point was that N1 durability was conceived due to the necessity of racing for privateers, but it was not FIA Group N. Although NI's vehicle regulations are based on the group, the method of official approval of participating vehicles is unique to Japan. The uniqueness of was shown. N1 Durability was established. The number of domestic passenger car production makers for the first time (9 years) overlapped with 9 companies and Bikiku during the bubble period, and the number of car models produced was not as large as that of a few car-producing countries. rice field . However, due to the need for races for the group's public tuners and his privateers on a shop-by-shop basis for all of these models, the N1 endurance race was conceived under Japan's own rules.

Due to the weight and lack of development, this GTO vehicle was one of the strategic Bullline AWDs adopted by Mitsubishi at that time. At first glance, the 3ℓ V6 engine (667 type) with a transverse 4WD system is based on the F20 series Diamante, and in North America, the design was partially changed and the Dodge Ste of the Kreisler brand. It was sold as Ruth. The development was Ai and he was a Chrysler co-funded company, DSM Diamond Star Motors), and the Chrysler Eclipse based on the guarantee (E30 series) was also developed in the same way. As you can see from this North American-focused development process, the GTO was not a sports car with agile athletic performance, but was planned as an all-weather grand tourer with high stability by the 4WD method, that is, the Skyline GT even with the same turbo 4WD. ――The basic character that was completely different from R was different. Unfortunately, it was a little different from the GTO name (Gran Turismo Omologato). In addition, the weight of the vehicle is as heavy as 1700 kg, and the front width 1000 4 / rear width 700, the front-rear weight balance is poor, and even if the weight is reduced within the regulation, he has a great influence on the tires, brakes, turning performance, etc. rice field. But what was more problematic was that, despite the NI specifications, it couldn't be developed as a race vehicle in one minute. Since it was not originally made for Motors Ports, it was placed in an overwhelmingly disadvantageous situation compared to the GT-R, which has abundant various sports parts and setting know-how. Therefore, a model equipped with an AP racing caliber and a model equipped with a Getrag speed manual were released on the way. GTO debuted at Kegani Racing's "90 Years NI Series Round 3 Fuji 6 Hours Race." GT-R 1 unit, Ba JIGTI --R2 unit family 〒4WD 1 unit, And the GTO Hideyuki Chimoto / Sakae Obata of the Horsehair Crab Race Sing) Caran VR -4 (Hideo Ue, Takeshi Asami) has a power distribution of one each, so it seems that the superiority of the GT R does not move no matter who sees it. In fact, the car was not fully matured, and the race retired in just four laps, and the Galan VR-4, which had been used as the main force until then, was mixed with the GT-R. It was an ironic result that broke into the 5th place in the rank class. This flow was continued even in the 9 hours of the close battle in Tsukuba, and while the GT-Rs who were standing side by side dropped out one after another, the Gallan VR won the overall 1st place class. The GTO managed to finish the race despite a big delay. The twisty Tsukuba was one of the difficult courses for a large heavyweight GTO. After that, the GTO was the remaining two races in the 9-year series, MINE. Participated in SUGO 2 race and managed to finish the race at MINE, but retired at SUGO. The next year, the activity was temporarily suspended. However, he returned to the race in 9 years and won a prize (Uehara / Asami). The result shows that the aging was progressing during the period. After the activity of the horsehair crab racing, the GTO was a 5 year TI400km durable PUMA car (Takayuki Oi / Akihiko Nakatani) in the 2nd place overall class. Although it is in 2nd place, it has not been able to compete evenly with the GT-R, and it has become a new Lancer Evo in the position of the top race of the Mitsubishi team. GTO was selected as an N1 endurance vehicle because of the taste of car enthusiast owners, although he was particular about the game as it was handed over to the solution. Originally he was a vehicle that should not have been seen in circuit races, but Japan's unique regulations have been a tailwind and entertained the fans who are excited about the high-performance car boom.
