      Ammar Wazza If you really want to understand Group C, you need to understand that it was a fuel allocation formula. For Le Mans, the maximum fuel allowed was 2,500 litres and not a drop more. This was very strictly controlled. Despite the speeds reached on the Mulsanne, most of the stories you hear about massive power outputs and huge top speeds are exaggerated. But I was around when it happened at for me it really was the golden age. I’m glad someone mentioned the Porsche 956 and 962. They were arguably the greatest cars but they never seem to get a look in.
