Group C cars fit in quite nicely in the Florida sunshine

Imagine then how hot it must be inside a Group C car out in that sunshine. Not only are they from an era before decent air conditioning and driver safety regulations, but they are also absolute brutes. So muscling a 962 round Daytona in 30-degree heat must be excruciating.

Fortunately for us these cars look absolutely at home in this sunshine. Along with a small mixture of other cars from the era it's been beautiful just watching them pound round the Daytona horseshoe – and we've not even been out to the banking yet.
