Nordic should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Photos' Grp 5 80's

We have had a chance to see some great photos of sportscars cars of the 60's & 70's, moving on a bit to the end of the Grp 5 era we had some fantastic cars.
This is a Ferrari from Le Mans 84. I dont think it would look out of place on the grid today.

You're so right Nordic. In the game of naming the sexiest cars ever, The P4 came first (IMHO), the F40 just after ...

That's quite an interesting Ferrari in the photo- it's Scuderia Bellancauto's 512BBLM which had been very highly modified from the 'standard' Gp5/IMSA 512-

compare it with

I won't swear to this, but think it was the last Ferrari to run at Le Mans until the GT's returned in the around 1993/4

The greatest grp 5 car ever? in this case the rare K4 model raced by Fitzpatrick in the very wet Brands 1000k in 82.
