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?

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

And even buffs will misidentify this one.

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.....

Isn't WRC a class?

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.

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

So painfully close, but no.

Not Group 5.

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.
