    Default Old Rule Books, FIA...

    Anyone know where I could possibly find rules for series in the 80's, specifically FIA Touring Car? Not sure if this is even possible. lol

    Even 1986 SCCA GCR would work. I wish they kept online archives.

    Update, e-mailed the owner of http://www.touringcarracing.net/ and he just e-mailed me a complete 1986 FIA rulebook, even has Group C rules in it.

    I find them useful since you can see how the regulations shaped the race cars of the time. For Group A and B, it also led to seeing how the street cars were made.

    One of the problems i feel with the current state of the WRC is the lack of a link between the street and rally car. In the mid 90's for example, it was incredibly close.

    btw.... Mountain at Cadwell Park

    I see people on the BMW forums all the time of e30 m3's and sometimes even put their user names on them...when I know it's not their car lol! rah-tards.

    You or me look at my sig pic and you see a night without sleep, pouring down south Florida rain, you holding an umbrella and me with plastic and tape wrapped around my camera and lens, while shooting through a hole in a fence barely big enough to get my hand in, while fighting with the photographer intentionally standing in front of my hole until a crowd of people beside us talked enough shit lol! Good times.

    I saw an interesting picture and thought it'd be a good one to use, but if that's a problem, I'd be more than happy to use a different one.

    Nah, it's not a problem...it's just humorous when people don't even know what they put on their own profile/sig but as long as you don't claim it's you then it's all good.

    Well, since I'm new here I might as well use it to show what I drive. I'll save the racing avatars for you then

    If anyone thought that was me... you're right it was
