The Group 5 Ford Capri’s competed in the DRM series (Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft), the predecessor to today’s current DTM series. In 1977 Group 5 regulated cars were brought into the fold, massively shaking up the series, allowing these turbo charged monsters to compete. 

The Mark 3 Group 5 Capri was developed with the philosophies of extreme weight reduction and high downforce. The car was almost unrecognisable as a Capri apart from its iconic front grill and curvaceous roof line. Due to its Formula 1 inspired ground effect Venturi diffuser and floor, along with thin aluminium panels, it boasted an impressive power to weight ratio. The cars competed between the years of 1978 and 1983 against the infamously more powerful Porsche 935’s it won the overall championship in the 1981 DRM season at the hands of Klaus Ludwig.
