Forgive my ignorace of Ferrari history - I had to look up the F40 LM WIkipedia. It had two unsuccesful seasons??

Is the 500 TRC not a race car? Why is that not in motorsportrst?

I don't get the logic. Well, let me tell you something, brother: So, "Endurance GT Racing" stands for "Endurance Grand Touring Racing".
 * Endurance Grand Touring = Endurance GT, where GT = Gran Turismo = Grand Touring

If you read the patch notes, 1989 Season of Endurance Grand Touring unlocked upon reaching the last tier of 1998 Season of Endurance GT...and they are actually one and the same group, per above.

The 500 TRC belongs to the same category as the 718 RSK and Bergspyder, the Targa Florio. Pray that FM doesn't make Targa Florio a Motorsport group in the mean future. Also, GTO stands for 'Grand Touring Omologato', which is French or Italian, probably Italian I think.. for 'Homologation', which are the special road going versions of racing cars which are designed to reach the homologation manufacture criteria to allow manufacturers to race their car, according to FIA rules. The Ford RS 200 road going version was like this I think, as was the Renault Laguna 'Airflow' model, sold in the UK in 1994-ish, which had a larger wing on the back and a 'splitter' at the front, to allow the Renault BTCC team to fit a larger wing and aero mods to their BTCC racing version So was the Ford GT40. The street versions are ultra-rare.
