So I have noticed a lot of acronyms being thrown about here about cars in the game that I am too dumb to understand.

Can you all help me define them? Maybe we can put it in the FAQ thread.

EDIT: DTM: Duestche Touring Masters

EDIT: JGTC : Japanese Gran Turismo Championship

Group C Race Cars (not an acronym but would like definition)

EDIT: LMP: Le Mans Prototype

EDIT: LM: Le Mans

EDIT: LMS: Le Mans Series

EDIT: D1GP : is a production car drifting series from Japan

Any explanation and detail would be AWESOME.

Thanks People

What is PIT?

I don't mean the pit lane, but when the AI crashes into you and people refer to it as being PITTED, is this an acronym, or just a saying like "I'm damaged now and must pit".

The "Group C" refers to the FIA regulations concerning the particluar series, in particular the differences between Group A/Group B/Group C was primarily how many cars needed to be built to Homologate the cars for the series.

Group A - 5000 examples, e.g. BMW M635csi/Rover Vitesse/Lancia Delta Integrale
Group B - 200 examples, e.g. Ford RS200/Lancia Delta S4
Group C - no limit, so teams were free to design anything they wanted.

After this a further Evolution model could be built for racing/rallying, where 10% more needed to be built, hence Ford Cosworth RS500 etc.
