Group One Production Car racing videos

Post by Can-Am ZN » Sat 30 May 2015, 17:45

For those track racing nuts, here's some very bad footage of one of the Group One races from the very early 80's, featuring the newly introduced BMW 535i's taking on the mighty XR6 Interceptor and Alfa GTV6 2.5 (before the GTV6 3.0 was developed).

Sarel's car control skill to keep the Interceptor on a slippery Kyalami here is just simply astounding.

It's recorded in 2 separate videos:

Part 1:

Part 2:


Enjoy :mrgreen:

Here's a better quality Group One race, this time from 1985, featuring the mighty works Sierra XR8's taking on the only BMW 745i in the world to have been raced in a racing series. The Alfa GTV6 3.0 also features in Class A here, as does the Golf 2 GTi and the Opel Kadett GTE, competing in one of the lower classes:
