World Sportscar Championship 1985 - Super Sportscars

1985 was full stride into the Group C era and teams were desperately pushing to find ways to dethrone the emerging super power that is Porsche. Lancia had the power but not the reliability while Jaguar was scratching their heads, searching for the 956's Achille's heal. Meanwhile, privateers and custom shops like March and Spice were finding great opportunities to rise above their rivals, launder some cash or possibly smuggle drugs... One trademark of the 80's sportscar scene was fuel efficiency. With petrol at a premium due to FIA guidelines (a car couldn't run more than 500L per event), teams had to find ways to optimize aerodynamics through ground effects and reduced weight thanks to some aluminum and carbon fiber composites, among other, fancy materials. As popularity was rapidly growing, every city and every track wanted to feature these iconic cars of the era. Between IMSA, WEC (yes, it was temporarily the World Endurance Championship in the 80's) and other regional series, these cars ran almost every circuit imaginable from permanent road courses to some intriguing street circuits that only ever existed for these cars. Storm Gang Simulation (SGS), in cooperation with Old Drivers Spirit (ODS) and Virtua_LM Junior Team, is proud to present a solid pack of cars that represent the C1 class of the era for rFactor 2.
