Quite a few of the Jaguars only showed up after TWR hit difficulties. |

Hello
Easy one for me as I can vividly remember sitting in a cafe in Chichester reading Autosport previewing Group C and getting really excited about it. Brands Hatch 1981 with the original Ford C100 but the race won by a Lola T600. Then it all took off in 1982 when I got to see the races at Silverstone, Le Mans, Spa and a very wet Brands Hatch. No rose tinted glasses for me, Group C was it and I still blame Bernie Ecclestone for its demise. I took a long while to warm up to the LMP's but certainly since the Le Man Series took off I've been hooked. Big grids, good racing and now proper manufactuer interest. Nick |

it would have to be group c as they were possibly the most innovative (despite the diesel engines by audi and peugeot). though the others are good aswell

I wasn't around for Group 5 but loved Gp C. However, I've picked Gp 5 because the cars, the tracks, the drivers and the lack of restrictions compared with Gp C. It is regarded as the golden age of sportscar racing so I can't ignore this.

Being a sportscar fan (and open wheel) since the early 60s, all I can say is I've luv'd 'em all... 'Kinda wonderin' why noone has plugged in Group 7 as the Can Am was quite the spectacle (ah-ha...I just did....)
 Why is F1 even on this poll?  Like comparing the proverbial apples and oranges. I don't like it's evolution but the technology and drivers still can't be beat.I did vote Grp C in any case.
