Final Year
[edit]Was the final year for this class 1993 or 1994?
- The last year for Group C competition was 1993. In 1994, Group C cars were allowed to race at Le Mans, alongside the GTs and the new WSCs. --Pc13 17:47, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Measuring units American biased
[edit]Hello. A small contribution:
I found out that in this article most units of measurement (particularly speed and distance) were not expressed in SI units. Units like "miles per hour (MPH)" are currently used mainly in the United States and to a *now* lesser degree in the United Kingdom. The proper way to express speeds of an european race class, based on european race courses, with records set by Continental European cars should be in the worldwide most used measuring units system, the SI, using Kilometers/hour (Km/h) as a measure of speed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flurry (talk • contribs) 17:04, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
IMSA GTP
[edit]Why does IMSA GTP redirect here??? This article has nothing about the class appart from that they are "broadly similar", which in itself is reason enough to not redirect it here. They are completly different. IMSA GTP should direct you to the GTP section of the IMSA GT article SchellZ (talk) 06:53, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
History & LMP
[edit]I removed the last line in the "Rise and fall" section. It was unsourced and doesn't fit what I know about the history of the sport.
- Afterward, prototypes nearly disappeared from Europe, resurfacing again in the mid-1990s. Recently, interest in Group C cars resurfaced as more of these cars have appeared on historic racing events.
The last year Group C cars were in use was the first year for the new LMP classes: the first year LMP1 cars were ex-Group C cars. To say they "nearly disappeared" doesn't make sense when there was no gap.
The second sentence probably fits somewhere in the article, but it would have been an orphan without the first. It also doesn't really fit in this section.
Speeds
[edit]As per every other article on Le Mans or the Mulsanne Straight, the article reports a WM Peugeot doing 407 km/h and actually cites a reference showing 405. As per every other article on Le Mans or the Mulsanne Straight, I have altered it to accurately reflect the reference material. Wikipedia is not a resource for validating unsubstantiated rumours, nor is it a forum for bidding wars. Flanker235 (talk) 15:35, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
