![]() Q5: Were there really no rules for Group B Cars?Ī: In fact they were quite a few, but they mostly impacted how little the cars could weigh and how wide they could make their tyre combinations. ![]() As such 1983 is often referred to as the real beginning of Group B. 1983 was when car manufacturers were obligated to have valid Group B homologation to allow their seeded drivers to score points. Hence 1982 was officially a transition year. Q4: Although it was introduced in 1982, why is Group B often considered to have begun in 1983?Ī: Delays in approving Group B for rallying within the FISA meant that most car manufacturers were not ready for the 1982 WRC competition year and used mostly Group 4 carryover cars.

Also, it was hoped that Group B would be used in circuit racing to replace the previous Group 4 Grand Tourers and, in part, the “silhouette” Group 5 racers through the “ET” evolution feature. Q3: Was Group B created specifically for rallying?Ī: No, in fact Group B was originally voted to be outlawed in rallying but was ultimately allowed back due to pressure from the BPICA and due to political reasons for the FISA. Q2: What does the FISA / FIA acronyms stand for?Ī: The “FISA” is the “ Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile” and was the former ruling committee in charge of all sporting regulations in motor racing for the “FIA – Fédération Internationale de l’ Automobile”. It effectively replaced the previous Groups 4 & 5.

So this week, while I was searching through the many eSports Summer ’16 racing events going on, I saw the tweet from saying there was a special racing event taking place in Finland. I think this is the only way to keep the car list fresh and exciting. Sometimes, I drive the same car for multiple weeks, but it’s only if the event I am racing in lasts longer than a week, or I really like the car. The car I choose is based on what I “feel” like driving each week. ![]() I don’t pick my cars in advance, and I don’t have a pre-selected list already written up that I can draw from either. Each week, I really have no idea what car I want to pick. You see, choosing a Car of the Week is no easy task. Ok eSports racing fans, get ready to switch it up a bit this week.
