Only eight countries on four continents are privileged to host a World Endurance Championship event in 1984 and Mosport joins the select few which includes Le Mans (France), Monza (Italy), Nurburgring (West Germany), Germany), Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), Silverstone (England), Kyalami (South Africa) and Mount Fuji (Japan). No other international championship combines these classic circuits in a single season. With over sixty years of racing history each; Le Mans, Monza, Nurburgring and Spa are names synonymous synonymous with speed around the world. Silverstone, Kyalami, Mount Fuji and Mosport, although although younger, still represent represent the same traditions. Hightech racing cars that equal or exceed Formula One Grand Prix machinery in cost, speed and sophistication con test the World Endurance Championship. They must conform to Group C specifications specifications established by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Conservation is the theme in Group C. Engine displacement displacement and configuration are unlimited in Group C but the major limiting factors are fuel and weight. The maximum fuel allotment is fixed -- 100 litres (22 gallons) per hour for Group Cl and 55 litres (12.1 gallons) per hour for Group C2, also known as Group C "Junior." In the Budweiser GT at Mosport, a race of six hours or 1,000 kilometres (whichever comes first), the Group Cl cars are limited to 600 litres while the Group C2 cars may only use 330 litres. Basic safety, length, width and height dimensions are common to both categories while Group Cl cars have a minimum weight requirement of 850 kilograms (1870 pounds) and Group C2 cars have a minimum weight of 700 kilograms kilograms (1540 pounds). The Group Cl Porsche type 956 has dominated the World Endurance Championship since the introduction of Group C in 1982. With a twin turbocharged six cylinder engine of 2.649 litres, the Porsche 956 produces in excess excess of 650 horsepower and a top speed of over 240 miles an hour at Le Mans which has the longest straightaway of any track in the championship. After three of eight points races so far this season, Porsche 956s have gone unbeaten: unbeaten: Monza and Silverstone Silverstone were won by the factory Rothmans team and Le Mans was won by the privately entered Reinhold Joest Team from West Germany.
