There are various programs available for downloading embedded videos. I'll try to get a link to the one I use.

Regards to all.
Far from an expert but I had the pleasure of working for a team for a few seasons in there IMSA program during the GTP days.

This particular video is FIA Group C car that was only running in Europe. The rear body work is differing and was not allowed in IMSA until later. If memory serves IMSA adopted the same type of body work and allowed the wheel wells to be enclosed but only the TWR Jags actually used it on higher speed tracks I think. Enclosure of the rear caused brake problems in tighter tracks. With respect to the chassie aluim tub with honeycomb bulkheads/ pick-up points for the attachment of the suspension. The motor/tranny actually attach to the rear of the tub which allowed for greater structural strength and ease of repair. The damn things were ungodly expensive even then.........
