Boards are a bit quiet tonight, so I was doing a bit of surfing and decided to do some digging on this seminal year for Group C sports car racing. I'll post some photos and see what race reports I can find.
Jag vs Porsche head to head though - fantastic stuff. I remember listening to a BBC radio report on the race on Sun morning Australian time describing the race.
