Grp C Support Race 2004
« on: February 16, 2004, 12:54:43 pm »
There is strong rumour that the support race for this year will be for Grp C cars.

Nothing confimed yet but it would be great to see the 956/62's etc again.

That would be excellent news - almost (?) as good as the actual 24 hours race itself.

Ohhh, the Rothman's Porsche, I would love to see it.  :D
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Should be confirmed thursday in AutoSport and on the web page.

But yes it is still a rumour at the moment that I picked up on 10/10ths fourm.

I suppose it would be okay if it were true, but personally I would prefer to see the Formula France 1600's again. ;)
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Yeah, they're great aren't they? They can get up to over 100mph on the Mulsanne you know.
