You need a faster camera.

That, right there, is a Go Pro Hero 3 Black Edition, and those are shots from a 30f/1sec burst…
What I needed was better lighting.

Anyone know more about this car, it looks cool. Like an early new LMP.

It's the Allard J2X-C; A Group C car built in 1991 for the new rules that overhauled Group C and transformed the class into a "Sprint" series with cars built around F1-Spec 3.5 Litre, Normally-Aspirated Engines (When it had been a series with virtually no limitations on engine type, but severe limits on fuel consumption)... Though the rules only last two years (1991 & 1992) and ultimately killed off professional sportscar racing in Europe (For a short while at least!), some of the most advanced Sports Racing Cars ever built came from that series, the Peugot 905 being the only example in GT5 or GT6 at the moment...

The Full Story of the Allard can be read here: http://www.mulsannescorner.com/allardj2x.html

As for WHY those new rules came into effect (Especially when the "Old" Group C class and the World Sportscar Championship were thriving at the time), well... It's complicated and this thread's not really the place to discuss it in my opinion.

That cars design is a little ahead of its time. I would've guessed 2001-2004 honestly.

Quite a bit, actually... It would'nt look out of place on the WEC grid if you asked me.

Looks more like a P2 body than a P1 though.

Another pic of this one? Sure, why not.

Before it had some of it's teeth busted.

I should explain this one, the Audi RS5 DTM is referred to by Audi as the R17.

That's some serious brakes on that!

Edit: dunno why it put what I said as part of your post! Lol
It was meant to say that's serious brakes on that!
