Yes that's right there was quite a few guys out in Group C and IMSA. Van der Merwe was possibly the most famous and successful South African driver after Jody Scheckter retired, and he was a bit of an all rounder to boot taking in rallying as well.

Wayne Taylor's an interesting one as he kind of became synonymous with Spice in Group C but I seem to recall there was a strong possibility that he was going to do F3000 in the late 80's.

I think he may well have tested but never actually entered? His sometime teammate Fermin Velez did take the plunge that but without any success.
