1988 - Interserie

1988 FIA Europe Interserie Championship.

 

The 1988 Interserie Championship was contested over six rounds across Europe, with drivers earning points at each event to determine the season standings. The series featured powerful Group C sports prototypes, led by the dominant Porsche 962C, and attracted a mix of professional teams and private entrants competing on some of Europe's most iconic circuits.

A site about some history in the car racing history. The first F1 race I saw (on TV) was the GP Germany in 1968; the first 24hours of Le Mans in 1970. The stories come from my own library and gathered infomation all those years.
