Wow that is awesome, I honestly had no idea that they raced on the streets like that. Looks like the V8s or DTM or something. I'm sure my dad had that season on video somewhere, I know what I'm watching tomorrow Razz

Another good location would be the Isle of Man or some Welsh Countryside Roads.

Group A was the 80's equivelant of todays S2000. Group A was used all over the world, in the ETCC, ATCC (Australia), DRM (Deutche Rennen Masterschaft... IIRC, soon to become DTM) and BTCC. Group A had two divisions, Class A and Class B, in the BTCC Class B would run on its own from 1991 to 1994 (Like in the video above) evolve into Supertouring. DTM switched to Class A only, but allowed more aerodynamics in the mid nineties, which led to the 4WD, V6 F1-cars-on-wheels! In Australia, they adopted a 5ltr Touring Formula, now known as V8 Supercars.
