rFactor 1 Historic Group C Series Info

Registration
​

 

The Group C regulations, in force between 1982 and 1993, led to the production of legendary cars that wrote some of the most glorious pages in the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours and the Sports Car World Endurance Championship.

Early on, the Porsche 956s dominated despite stiff opposition from the Lancia LC2s, and then in 962 configuration came up against much tougher rivals with the arrival of Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Nissan and Mazda. Alongside the major manufacturers small constructors like Cougar, Dome, Rondeau, Spice and WM could still pull off the odd coup thanks to an intelligent interpretation of the regulations based on strict fuel consumption restrictions. Group C was abandoned in the early 90s after a brief cohabitation with the Sport 3.5s (Peugeot 905, Jaguar XJR-14, Toyota TS010, etc), but that era is still considered as the Golden Age of endurance racing by the majority of specialists of this branch of motor sport.

For this series entrants are required to choose one of the default car makes and skins available in the car mod and request it here. Within the Group-C car options there are 8 car makes and, within those, 34 skins available so there is plenty of choice for everyone to get something they like. Only 2 cars of each make/skin are allowed in any race and selection is on a first-come, first-served basis.

This is a League Edition mod so all cars have the same performance.

They all have the same weight, power, torque, tyres and as far as I know underlying physics, so yes overall competitiveness between all the cars should be equal. The mod was built to be this way.

 

Yeh, Yeh we all know that rFactor is an older sim, but for the price of a couple of beers why not grab it on STEAM now!

If you've never tried it then there is whole world of free mods out there that you have missed and still plenty of life in the ol' Boy which we continue to support here at SRO.

 

Will sign up and hope I can do some of the races.

 

Need to test a couple of cars before I decide.

 

Pink sounds good must have flowers on as well

Maybe we should have an additional Nations Cup for this series too?
