Classic Group C Sportscars are about as cool as racing cars can and ever will ever be. What could be better than a wild variety of engines, aero designs and liveries racing across the most iconic tracks in the world for hours upon hours on end, driven to the absolute limit by endurance heroes?

Let the memories flood back as you watch these Group C legends tear around Zandvoort as part of the 2014 Historic Grand Prix of Zandvoort. Just listen to those engines! It’s no surprise Group C Sportscars  captured the hearts of racing fans worldwide.
