Hi Jorge,
at this time (1975) we know 5 groups:
Group 1: Series Production Touring Cars
Equivalent to current Group N, these were regular four-seated, unmodified production cars with minimum of 5000 units built annually.
Group 2: Special Touring Cars
Equivalent to current Group A, these were regular production cars modified for rally use. Minimum annual production was 1000 units. When Group 1 cars were modified, they became Group 2 cars.
Group 3: Series Production Grand Touring Cars
Grand touring (GT) or sports cars with minimum of 1000 units built annually. Preparation according to obligatory manufacturer homologation, minimal modifications only.
Group 4: Special Grand Touring Cars
Sport cars modified for rally use, minimum of 500 units built annually. When Group 3 cars were modified, they became Group 4 cars.
Group 5 and 6: Prototype cars
Extrapolated freely from unmarketed prototypes, no minimum production requirements.
So at this competition the organizer of the Sachs-Rally Baltic did 2 groups together for one group-result.
Gr.1 and Gr.3 cars in one group-valuation (series production) and Gr.2 and Gr.4 cars into another group-valuation (modified special cars).
So I give you the group-valuation results for series production cars (Gr.1+Gr.3).
