Nice. I mean, who doesn’t love a Group B monster?
But for a 24 hour endurance race, one might recommend something a little more…
…sophisticated.
Presenting the 1985 ErinSport CRP-3A, the latest creation from our esteemed Prototypes department - more specifically, the latest work from their Group C Development Programme. The CRP-3 platform is a heavily modified version of its predesscor, the CRP-2, and features a steel-alloy tub chassis with a Kevlar-composite body, all-round double wishbone suspension with inboard shocks and fully customisable engine and transmission mounting for optimum weight distribution.
This particular one, chassis no. 4, is a re-purposed spare car, and has been fitted with modified version of the 3.6l Turbo V6 found in the World Sportscar Championship-competitor that ran in the 1985 season. It’s been shrunk down to size to comply with regulations, but still packs a hefty 377 hp.
It’s also rocking the iconic navy blue two-tone livery that ErinSport cars ran with from 1984 to 1989. Driving this beauty will be the team of ErinSport #32, who finished 4th at Le Mans in '85 and 2nd at the 1000km of Brands Hatch that year. They are:
[ul]- Jordan Kielers, a floppy-haired German known for pushing his car to the limit regardless of the consequences and usually bringing the car home in one piece.
- Andy Shore, an experienced Brit currently at the peak of his career having competed with ErinSport since the Civera Silhouette days of the mid-70s.
- Samuel Millson, former UK Karting and European Formula 3 champion who got bored of open wheel racing and decided endurance was more his style.

ErinSport would like to wish all competitors the best of luck in this race, and may the best team win!
