I am looking to buy "Inside IMSA's legendary GTP cars" that was mentioned in this thread, but I cannot find any copy at reasonable price. It used to be around 40euros I would imagine, now the price is twice this. :shock:

Hello!

Does anyone have a document containing the Group C regulations?

I live in Europe and their UK distributor Chater's Motoring Booksellers doesn't have this item anymore. :(

The book "Super Sports. The 220mph Le Mans Cars" from Ian Bamsey is also another good source, as well as his book "Sauber C9" which also covers the Group C in general and often compares the data of the C9 to other like the Jags and Porsche.
Especially the C9 book is a bargain, paid for a shrink wrapped new one 5€ and the other one you get for the same in good used condition:

I have just finished "Jaguar the Prototype racers":

Good book if you are a Jaguar fan, as it covers all chassis numbers and gives a good account on Jaguar's charge in group C and then IMSA. Found it a bit too little technical but I guess it will please most people. Lots of pictures as well.

My next book in this line of books is Sauber C9 Return of the Silver Arrows:
