Group C are the

• Mazda 787B
• Mercedes Benz C9 1989 LM
• Porsche 962 C Longtail
• Porsche 962 C Shorttail

These cars have very different characteristics. The C9 and the Longtail have a very high top speed but are difficult to handle because of the low downforce. The other two are better in turns but get blown away on the straights. So on a track like LeMans it's quite obvious which car you should pick. But as this is a championship you have consider all tracks.

I think I will organize a race on Spa with these cars in a couple of weeks to get data about tyre wear and fuel usage to make sure that that won't be a big problem for one of the cars in the championship. I want a battle on performance, not on tyre or fuel management.

Great! Good to have all the Group C cars as options.

Would definitely like to do that Han
There's 2 races I'd miss, I think (could be away), but would be great to get back into Grp C again

Great John! Missing two won't be a problem. The 8 (out of 10) best results will used for the standings.

Oh yes, depending on the day being raced I'm in!

Hi Steve,

I understand that you expect a carnage. But we did once a race on the Feldbergring with these cars and that was one of the best and most enjoyable races I had. The flow and challenges of Fonteny are not that different from Feldbergring. But of course if you want to go fast, you need a lot of practice for a track of 25km.
I'm such a fan of Fonteny and I think I've driven it with most of the racing cars available in stock AC and DLC's.

I have also organized once a surprise race met the available SUV's on Fonteny Reverse. Yes that was quite a carnage, fortunately with cars that have off road capabilities . https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/fastest-holiday-driver-thursday-15th-july-2021.205055/

EDIT: just re-read the after race comments in that thread. Very positive. So I think I will do it again with those cars.

Hi Han, i guess your right about the flow so as you say it should work well. Spent many an hour or two on Fonteny so know it quite well myself. As i have said before, if all we had were D Ps tracks to play with i would be more than happy with a few Sergio,s thrown in for good measure

I'd love to take part of a group C championship. Not sure where I'll be living by January, so I would love to have the championship now I'm missing a second simracing league, besides Ferrari GTO/TVR.
If my opinions counts, I wouldn't pick super long tracks, we already have them in Ferrari 250/TVR league (and I think also in Mazda/Abarth? ). But I agree on long standard tracks like Spa, Nordschleife... Bahrain would be great too
