The FIA introduced Group C in 1982 as a motorsport category. This category was used to differentiate between sports car racing and the touring cars and GTs that followed it. It was used until 1993. This article will talk about the Peugeot 905's engine. You can read on for more information about this unique car. The Peugeot 905, a sports prototype, competed in the 1992 Indianapolis 500. Despite its relatively limited performance, it's still a fascinating ride.
Peugeot's 905
Peugeot entered the World Sportscar Championship in 1991 with its 905 model, which was a Group C sports car. The car performed well its first year in Championship but was heavily penalised because of its age. It led the race for the first hour, but was unable to finish it. Despite the penalty, the 905 was improved and eventually won the Suzuka as well as Le Mans races. It was also the fastest in qualifying.
Peugeot's 905 motor
The Peugeot 905 was an aerodynamically difficult, low-width sports prototype. The rear wing was large enough to act like a biplane. The V10 engine of the 905 was very similar to F1 engines in the early 1990s. This powerful engine was over 11,000 pounds in weight and produced 775 horsepower. Peugeot's 905 team was a force to be reckoned with at Le Mans and in other motorsport competitions.
Peugeot's 905 automobile
Peugeot's 905 C-car is one of the most fascinating. Its two seat layout reminds me of a current F1 racer. The car had a very short nose and steep ascent angles. There was a broad sweep above the front wheels. This nose was crucial for cooling the car, which was vital to increase horsepower and efficiency. The 905 Evo's redesigned rear wheel features a unique feature.
Peugeot's 905 sports-prototype
The Peugeot 905 sports-prototyper, a car that is an evolution of its Le Mans-winning sports cars, is called the Peugeot 905 sports-prototyper. Unveiled in 1989, the 905 first competed in the FIA World Sports Prototype Championship in 1990. A naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V10 engine and carbon fiber chassis made the car a winning combination. It was also the second time that a French car won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Peugeot's 905 racecar
From 1986 to 1993, the Peugeot 905 was a remarkable race car. It first competed in Group C. This second generation model was developed with help from French aerodynamics experts Dassault. The 3.5-liter V10 engine produced 670 horsepower. The car had a roar comparable to a Formula One car. It also had one of most impressive sounds of any racecar of its time.

How To
How to get started racing in another nation
First, find a club in your area where you can practice and compete. Racing in other countries can be very difficult because there are different laws regarding driving. Some countries, for example, prohibit drivers from taking overtaking at any location on the road. Some countries restrict overtaking to entering a circle. Some countries require that cars make a specific sound when entering or exiting a roundabout. It is a good idea to check the regulations of each country before you travel overseas. This will ensure you don't get a ticket for breaking the law.
