Not seen any news of Group C mentioned this year, does anyone know if we are treated to seeing these great cars?

I was looking this up on the official site, and although I cannot see this mentioned, I do see "24 heures du man ear of corn" early Saturday afternoon which I do not know what is!

Any ideas chaps?

Cheers.

There are two Saturday races; one is the Formula Le Mans single seaters and the other the classics. I know of a few interesting cars coming for that including as usual some great Jaguars. However, apart from Justin Law and a couple of others, I found the Group C races last year a profound disappointmenyt since most were touring and if I'm correct the JD Classics Silk Cuts all "retired" after a few laps. Mind you, the noise of the Mazda rotary is still blood curling.

Didnt notice the Rotary last year, was it there? Now the 787B is one car right at the top of my list to see in action.

Isnt there one in the museum (well, I recall one from... 2005 I think I was in there)? I wonder if it ever gets taken out.

It is. I saw that car race 3 times last year (Spa, LM and Silverstone) and it was a wonder to hear. It was a bit of a shame that the driver(s) don't seem to have its measure though.

Personally I had also forgotten, until I heard it again for the first time in over nearly 20 years, The brutal noise of the Sauber.

The sauber was brilliant lastyear, cant believe how loud it is....although the 'race' was something to be desired !! More like a parade I guess the Classics where its at for that.

Will be interesting to see the old astons ferraris and jaguars lets hope they are as dissapointing.

Just realised White-Noise your in BSJ with Speedchills, Ill be there too with the Old Man, say hello if you see us!. Silver Fezza ST, no idea what stickers will be on it yet!.
