Round 2 of the Group C Fun Trophy

Off to sunny Croatia for a return to the fabulous Grobnik Circuit!
I tested it in the Mazda and the C9 which were a blast, so naturally will be taking the short tail Porsche

The race will now be occurring at the normal time (see below) as too many people were likely to struggle to turn up in time otherwise


Rules are very simple - you must use each car only once. Up to you where you run it, but you can only do so once!
As per the last time it would be very helpful if people let me know a day or 2 before the event what they intend to run so I can ensure the server has enough of the relevant cars.

We will have a x2 fuel and tire multiplier for this series, so we can at least pretend we're having proper endurance events.

Is this a one off or for the foreseeable future?

It does squeeze things for me, joining around 8pm typically.


Hmm so i take all the Porsche's will be out for this one!

That is going to be tight for me also, but will try to make it in time.

Short tail for me please.

Short tail please   

They are about, but not great quality. Some of these drive quite well although physics accuracy likely won't stand scrutiny. Squint your eyes a bit and use them as grid fillers and they're good enough.

Scroll down to the 80's Group C cars near the bottom and follow link to the Patreon page and scroll though...... you don't need to be a patreon to download most of these mods IIRC.

There is - it's carp.
The only other semi goods ones are the Ford C100 on RD (Which is in progress but needs a lot of work still - also if he makes it accurate it'll be terribly slow ), and the Nissan NP35 also over there.
In the authors own words it's a terrible model that no-in their right mind would add to the game (It actually drives OK but is lacking in accurate physics or setup options).

Aside from them I think the only other Group C I've found that is actually remotely decent is a Toyota 88C-V

That Said I just found a massive project that someone is making covering early Grp C stuff.

Does anybody know anything about this lot? Given that most of those cars have appeared in absolutely nothing else I have to assume they're making them themselves - My only concern is the fact that the physics are intentionally wrong so they can actually race each other (Or simply finish in the case of about half the grid )
Haven't down loaded one yet but may take a look if I get time - annoyingly the 80's stuff seems available car by car. So you have to find about 30 separate posts to get the buggers if they prove to be any good

LOL, just spotted GT's post about 2 up - not that great then Shame

Wow, this is going to be tough, so much different to Barcelona; thats quite easy on the tyres in comparison! I'm not sure how i can be kind to my tyres around here! Just doing a stint will be challenging

Yep a shame. I liked some of the C2 cars, not as crazy as their big brothers and good fun to race with the AI. Maybe they'll receive some love and attention in the future.

In other news, RSS have been teasing a new car leading to rumours that it could be the first of a 90's GTP pack
