Sorry got to click though, but anyways naming the make and model should be obvious as hell so I've got a different challenge.

What racing Series and Class was this car in?

scca? not sure of class though

CirclesCenter · July 12, 2006, 06:32:06 PM

Well I believe the SCCA organizes these events.... but sadly I'm looking for more specifics.

And even buffs will misidentify this one.

yamahonkawazuki · July 12, 2006, 06:39:03 PM

gtp i dunno

werase643 · July 12, 2006, 06:40:46 PM

mid-late 80's

probably a 24 hr race

CirclesCenter · July 12, 2006, 06:44:03 PM

Right decade.

pnaberhaus · July 12, 2006, 06:46:35 PM

IMSA GTU?

CirclesCenter · July 12, 2006, 06:48:09 PM

Nope. Not IMSA GTU.

I'll be back in a little while to check on you guys.

SCCA class SSB?

CirclesCenter · July 12, 2006, 06:58:36 PM

Ok SCCA covers a lot of different series, more specific. I don't want to give it away so I can't say much more except that this is probably the only time that car has been seen in all white.

It's paint was always that color, but it was never seen as all white.....

yamahonkawazuki · July 12, 2006, 07:29:32 PM

that was about as specific as i could think of atm

Isn't WRC a class?

CirclesCenter · July 12, 2006, 10:25:53 PM

WRC is broken down into classes. Kind of like 600cc bikes and liter bikes, except more diverse.

The class does not exist anymore due to a tragedy in the year of my birth.

pnaberhaus · July 13, 2006, 09:26:30 AM

Circle,
Was that MR2 to compete in Group 5, against the Quattros and 4WD 911s (what the 959 was built for)?

CirclesCenter · July 13, 2006, 06:29:37 PM

So painfully close, but no.

Not Group 5.

pnaberhaus · July 15, 2006, 09:18:53 AM

OK, Group 4 then

CirclesCenter · July 15, 2006, 05:11:27 PM

Ok since we're just shooting blanks it was a car planned for the ill fated group S rally events.

There was an accident in 1986 (my year of birth) that claimed the lives of several spectators (yeah standing on the track is really stupid) which gave goup B so much bad press it pretty much made all rally races taboo for a while.
