Group 5 was such a fantastic era and I was lucky enough (or old enough) to see it in period, including the Zakspeed Capri's the one time they came to the UK. Fantastic cars, all flames, noise and no enough downforce, which is just what you need for fun and excitement.
@@AndyFromBeaverton Both great an Group 2, this is just one awesome Zakspeed Capri though. The Ford Cosworth BDA 1.75-liter 4 cylinder turbo sings, love hearing it being warmed up ready to go out an sit pretty. This an the Ford Capri RS3100 Cosworth V6 GAA are my go to Lap music tracks 😉
Totally agree. I used to watch US GT racing in the late '70s early '80s...with the Monzas, Corvettes, and BMWs and such chasing the 935s. Nothing today even comes close. All the Group 5 cars raced in IMSA "GTX" category.

Was für ein Rennwagen....Ohne Schnick Schnack und sonstigen Helferlein...Vor allen Dingen noch mit einem richtigen Lenkrad.....Eine Legende....Ach ja, der Sound ist zum Niederknien......
Die Gruppe 5 Autos als Autos ohne Schnick Schnack zu bezeichnen ist aber auch schon etwas hart, wenn man bedenkt, welche Register gezogen worden sind um die Autos zu bauen. Die Gruppe 5 war irgendwann so teuer und es kam absolutes High End Material zum Einsatz.
It's amazing that anyone could get a turbo 4 cylinder to sound so good. My poor Audi S3 sounds horrible in comparison. The only solution is to get a Zakspeed car for my daily driver. Cheers to another great video, Bozzy! You take care of the car community so well.
4 cylinder engines actually have great potential to sound great. You just need the right mods. Depending on where you live and what's allowed there, you could make a S3 sound great.
Motorcycles is what you need, friend. Inline 4 engines sound great when you get the right exhaust kit, and no internal engine work required. Plus they are extremely fast

Got Damm, I love this video, I can so relate, I had a 1977 V-6 Ford Capri, lowered, Headers, with a dual Anza exhaust tips, my license plate said, HummV-6. Also had a 1978 VW Scirocco. At 75 years young I've been driving a 2014 Fiesta ST since new, it has 105,000 miles on it, with a Cobb stage two Tune, short shift kit, motor mounts, and sticky Michelin Pilot Sport tires, street legal Go-Kart. Awesome in car video. The Fiesta Flash.
Nice to see the heal and toe and alternating left & right foot braking again. Anyone remember the "foot cam" in Formula One TV coverage in the 80s? Those days are over...
That foot cam still exists in NASCAR, but only on road course races at Sonoma, Watkins Glen, Road America, Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, Charlotte Roval, Daytona Road Course, Circuit of The Americas, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course and the Chicago Street Course.
I love your videos man. Your camera work is nice and steady, the sound is beautiful and crisp, and you film cars that I'm probably never going to get the chance to see in person. Thanks a lot man!

What a great vid to watch early on a wet Thursday morning..:)) The Ford Capri was my favourite car when I was child. I think this car is now one of my favourite cars as an adult. How can you not just love it for everything it is, handling, style, looks & power. Just awesome!!
I had a Zakspeed Capri model as a kid, but I think this is the first time I've seen some decent quality onboard footage. Now safe to say it wasn't all show and no go, Man that thing is seriously quick, sounds superb too!
1. Mugello is such a beautiful track. More importantly. 2. The Gr.5 Capri is such a beast - the way it sucks down the straight and spits it out through the diffuser. Poetry in motion that.
Zakspeed invented a cooling system for the pistons in this turbo engine , it consisted of a separate oilpump sending a stream of oil up under the pistons thereby helping with keeping the temparatures down - this system is now in use in the diesel engines from Peugeot and Citroën and many more
Piston cooling jets have been in production turbo engines since at least the mid 80's. Porsche may have even had them in the 70's for the flat 6 turbo engines.
This specific one is very new actually, Zakspeed is licenced to build replicas of their older race cars, I was lucky enough to see this one built and even helped a bit with detailing some of the lexan pieces. This car would be 1,5 to 2 years old now since construction began
That was awesome. That car sounds so nice. I would love to drive that track in real life. I've driven hundreds and hundreds of laps on it in Forza. Such a nice flowing circuit.
My dad had a white capri,when I first met him,he had a bright (fleuro)yellow 318/20..after that back then..Besides meeting him the fact he had these machines then I knew was special..I would get him to take me out everytime we saw each other.I have had a Bm,hope they bring another capri out,or get to drive an old one at some point.Subscribed,wicked video!
This is so perfect.. I'm feeling like I'm racing the car from this great perspective and I see the car on track for the beautiful Capri💙 -i did not see the full pass but, is this a Porsche 911 hunter😂🤣

Zakspeed developed a series of winning cars across several race classes. Group 5 and Rallycross i am pretty sure they used a version of the same Power plant in the equally successful Rally Cross MK3 escort .
If I could own ANY vintage racing car, it would be this one or a Kremer 935. I don't mean in terms of monetary value necessarily, just in terms of awesomeness.
I'm don't know how you can "see" what a shifter feels like, but, if you're referring to the way it shimmies side to side, it's because it is sticking directly down through the top of the tranny, which being on a rubber mount, along with the engine, moves side to side under acceleration, and deceleration. It's a top loader shifter. Probably pretty accurate shifter actually.
@@MrDavee1 I stand corrected. Thanks for pointing that out. Then, where does the shifter mount? Tranny can't be moving around at all if the engine is solid mount. Bellhousing would break. I'm not familiar with where the shifter mounts.
The driver has probably suffered a catastrophic brake failure in the past. He’s just setting the pads tight to the discs before he hammers the brake pedal for real .
These types are my favourite looking race cars. Street car body but huge race flared extensions and super wide tyres. Just awesome 👌
There isn't much left of the street car body, only roof, and parts of the pillars.

Trying to decide if I prefer Group 5 over Group B is like saying you have a favorite child.

Great content. Classic racecars sound so menacing.
Because back then you could do what you wanted. People only cared about maximum speed. Now theres too many rules.
what a machine! Ford Capri was an Ikone these days! good to see it now racing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Zakspeed was not a Ford team.
It's amazing that anyone could get a turbo 4 cylinder to sound so good. My poor Audi S3 sounds horrible in comparison. The only solution is to get a Zakspeed car for my daily driver. Cheers to another great video, Bozzy! You take care of the car community so well.
Go for it...cut your downpipe, raise the boost pressure to 1,5 bar and rev it up to 9500rpm.... good luck!😉
Small capacity equals smaller and lighter internals helps them rev to the moon
4 cylinder engines actually have great potential to sound great. You just need the right mods. Depending on where you live and what's allowed there, you could make a S3 sound great.

Nice to see the heal and toe and alternating left & right foot braking again. Anyone remember the "foot cam" in Formula One TV coverage in the 80s? Those days are over...
Left foot braking is to set pads from knock back.

Another great video Bozzy! Would love to see more onboards. Keep up the great content as always.
This was a wonderful car, and racing class, to watch. There is nothing similar today.
You got to love Gr.5. It was so mental even back then.
Good to see this amazing car being driven somewhat hard!

Ford Racing!
I like that fire suit that he has on...
It makes a nice change to see a driver shifting a classic gated box, rather than a sequential or paddle shift.
Great video thanks for sharing
a lot of memories for me ❤
what a beautifull angry machine...stuff of dreams
Loved that era in racing.
Superb vids Bozz. Thx
Das Ding läuft gut!
Brilliant! 😎😎😎
Thank you 👍🏻
What an Orange BEAST 🤩
Was fortunate enough to have a drink with Erich at Nurburgring bar whilst working for Jaguar about twelve years ago, it was an honour
Amazing, I love these Zakspeed Capri’s!
Greatest era in motorsport Grp 4 & 5 💪
Mean n powerful looking zakspeed..love it
Me encanta el Ford Capri GR5. Estupendo video. Muchas Gracias!!!
Feathering the throttle beautifully
The fac that they fitted two massive turbochargers to that small engine is just mind-blowing to me.

Always love seeing this car. Thanks for the video
The people at Zakspeed are top tier. Any doubts, just remember how dominant those Red Vipers were at Lemans??? Great Videos Bozzy.
I love this car. Excellent driving too!
Holy Shit the Sound of this Car
Amazing sound and quality
That's a great 4 cilinder sound. 😊 Pops and bangs when he lift off are 🤤. The camera mount could be a bit more rigid.
Saw a same livery one of these last year at Thruxton, minus that sexy body kit. Group 5 machines are raw as hell, you cant not love it
The Zakspeed Ford based engine later went into rallycross with huge success into cars like the Escort Xtrac.
Fvcking glorious!
What a machine! She is quick for a 4 pot turbo 😲
I love it💥 👍💙👏🎯

Is this one of the four brand new cars that Zakspeed made a few years back?
Zakspeed developed a series of winning cars across several race classes. Group 5 and Rallycross i am pretty sure they used a version of the same Power plant in the equally successful Rally Cross MK3 escort .
they did use the same engine in F1...
My favorite livery, even better on a 935...
I was lucky enough to see klaus Ludwig in the zakspeed capri at donnington in 1981 I think the only time gr5 came to England
I still have the model i made back in the day of these cars

Epic
One of the all time greatest. Wasn’t there a twin turbo variant called the “super” capri?
Very nice video !
Do you know if there were brake issues ?
Because there is a lot of left foot braking before the "real" braking begun.
The driver has probably suffered a catastrophic brake failure in the past. He’s just setting the pads tight to the discs before he hammers the brake pedal for real .
Whats the correlation between Ford, cosworth, and NISSAN HATCHTAGS?
So downsizing was popular back in days too?
1.75L 4Cyl is kinda crazy but cant beat way more crazy BMW F1 M12/13 engine with 1280Hp on dyno:)
