I think the Group A era is quite a passion for a lot of us - me in particular the MG Metro Turbos and Rover Vitesse. Others are keen on the other marques of course - but I don't really know why!
I certainly remember the Challenge cars, though I'm not sure if I've got any pics- I'll have a look.

From memory, was there more than one series- ie a British one and possibly a European one? I recall the Metro Challenge usually being one of the support races at the Silverstone TT meeting (usually Metro Challenge and Prodsaloons, on race day with FF1600 plus maybe one other race on the Saturday?), and the entry list featuring quite a few overseas -especially French- drivers, as well as the UK Metro regulars.

Some very well-known names appeared in them- Tim Harvey and David Leslie (in an Ecurie Ecosse-entered car?) amongst others.
