Introduction.
Part 4 (ish) of my work for #NEWGROUPCBLAST, an Instagram thread spun up by Oct8n in October 2018 in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the great Group C/GTP sports-prototype era of motorsport and in anticipation of the the new 2020 prototype regulations.
The Dark Horse
This is what might have happened if a few things went slightly differently in early 1990's sportscar racing.
Early 1993. Agip's title sponsorship took nothing away from the fact that "Team Eni-Ferrari Agip" was effectively the factory Ferrari prototype team for the European Group C series. To ensure a strong result, endurance-racing legend Reinhold Joest organized a two-car team with the second as a 'junior' development squad for up-and-coming drivers.
The black-reflective foils and Agip's white and yellow brand colors were applied onto bare carbon fiber bodywork. "In case the kids crash it then we won't have to repaint the whole car"
"I will help you, on one condition"
