Group C roars back

Jan Lammers and Win Percy could be among the stars racing in a Group C revival masterminded by the Aston Martin Owners Club next season.

Lammers will drive Jaguar Holland’s XJR-9 in at least one of the five races. Percy will also drive a Jaguar run by Don Law.

The spectacle of Porsche, Jaguar and Aston Martin competing head-to-head in a showpiece event at Spa next May is eagerly awaited by fans of the cars built between 1982-’90.

There is a race at Donington in June and it is hoped that Brands Hatch, Silverstone and another continental venue will be confirmed shortly. The Jaguars could take on as many as 10 Porsche 962/956 derivatives, plus Aston Martin AMR1s EMKAs and Nimrods. A representative Group C2 class field is also being sought for the series MP
