Group 5 Race vehicles.

[Bricktasty]

Hello all! 

Bricktasty here, just a quick post about, what I feel was an amazing time for racing, Group 5/Sihouette Race Cars.

This bygone era of out of this world power, crazy car styling and eargasmic engine grunt have always hit a soft spot for me. Granted I am 25 and never seen or watched them race, however, I wanted to know if mocs were ever created of them. I only ask because, quite frankly, I'm not really involved with mocs. I would love too but no idea where to start.

Thank you for reading.

P.S. Ford ZAKSPEED was best

That era for homologation racing was just awesome, Group A with the RS500s, IMSA with the Audis and Ford Capris, and the madness that was Group B... I'm in roughly the same age bracket as you and I love drooling over these cars.

As for MOCs, I'm not sure about Group C. I feel like I've seen one of the Lancia Beta/Montecarlo (they were Group C right?) but no others AFAIK. There's a guy on Flickr called Peter Blackert who designs car MOCs at a prodigious rate, so if anyone would have them I feel like it would be him.

I'd love to see some Speed Champions sets of these cars...

Oh IMSA Audis caused a stir when they entered. The other teams calling foul play when it as really just brilliant engineers being creative. 

Lancia I believe was Group 5 HOWEVER rule changes/group definitions may have changed during some time, a quick google search came up with similar groupings for the car so hard to say. (Personally I've always loved the roar and the battles, the rules never appealed to me. Although I know some people are into and that's more power to them) 

Speed Champions sets would be epic! Lego ideas would be a great place for submission. I may just if I grab time, attempt to make a moc to test the waters.
