Alex Hodgkinson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I always wonder how quick Group C cars would've been if the 3.5l formula was not introduced, and instead the 905 ended up at 800kg with a turbo motor instead.

Futhermore I tend to wonder what Group C cars would be like now if the series not been killed off...

Going back to the Jag topic, what were TWR's reasons for the shelfing of the XJR11 endurance car? I'm guessing most people will want to tell me that it was because the turbo era was coming to a close.

However, on the IMSA side of things the XJR-/11 and the XJR-12 continuted to be raced & developed up until 1993. That's 3 years worth of racing in which the XJR-11's could've been changed into a formidable endurance car. Why did it never happen? Even the Toyota Eagles got to the point of being able to finish 12 hour races!
