This year is the 50th anniversary of the IROC series that arguably launched Porsche into the American landscape in a big way. The ABC Sports TV special covered the races at Riverside and Daytona.
The 12 drivers were invited from Formula 1, Nascar, SCCA, etc to go head to head with identical Porsche IROC RSRs. The only difference was the crayola box of colors that were unique to each car.
Drivers would be handed a different car for each race they drove.
Fast forward to 2023 and we are "getting the band back together" with the recreation of the IROC Gruppe. Based on members preparing their cars in the palette of colors, coupled with the right graphics and other details, we will be having our own and joining other special events starting in September of this year.
We will have a Touring group and a Track Racing group.
the Touring group is for those wanting to participate in special exhibitions and shows. Many times parade laps will be open to Touring group members when we combine a track and show event
The races are strictly for exhibition and our organization will be managing the starting and finishing positions as long as entrants mix it up to put on the show.
So crazy horsepower is of no benefit and this will allow the lesser prepped (but equally safe!) care to participate and have fun.
We are starting our group on the west coast for 2023 and will branch out going eastwards as our entrant list grows.
