In 1968, ETCC followed BSCC by moving to use Group 5 classification,
which allowed the teams much more radical modifications to car than
previously used Group 2 cars. The Championship was divided to
different divisions by engine displacement. Division 1 was for cars
from 0-1000 cc, division 2 1001-1600 cc, and division 3 for over 1600 cc.
BMC decided to give factory support to two teams and
while British Vita Racing ran two 970cc Cooper S'es in Division 1,
Cooper Car Company was given full factory support to build cars for
Division 1. As the result, while BMC rally team started to really
struggle against newer cars like Alpine A110 and Ford Escort, in ETCC
BMC took 2 out 3 possible Championships. John Handley winning
Division 1 and John Rhodes winning Division 2 after very close battle.
This add on features both Cooper Car Company cars as they were during
the 1968 ETCC season.
Recommended setup to start with:
- final gear of your choice.
- steering lock: 22.5 degrees
- Front Caster: 5.5 or more.
- Front Camber: -1.5 or even less.
- Rear anti-rollbar: 1.50cm
...there's quite lot of grip in wide front wheels, so
keep the white tyre smoke pouring out, but watch out
tyre temperatures!
Now go and drive like John Smokin' Rhodes.
