What source can agree that any Group 5 cars attained homologation for any 'generation'? Generally, only production cars went through this (Groups 1-4).

This External link shows in 1976, cars had to first be homologated in groups 1-4. Could be different in 1970-1971, I will check the yearbook but was very short lived. For this list to stand, we need a reputable source confirming each car was recognised in Group 5. And change "homologated" word.

Having some thought, what I now thinking is that it would be better to remove the list. The Super Silhouette cars is best removed as none of the Nissans met FIA guidelines.

Group 5 cars don't need to be homologated, therefore there would be no record available of a non-existent homologation. If a car existed as a Group 1, 2, 3, or 4 homologation, then it was legal in Group 5. However, this doesn't change that the list was meant to show examples of the cars built to Group 5 regulations. This is no different than
List of Group C sports cars which lists cars built to Group C regulations, despite there being no homologation.

For the record, I looked in one FIA Yearbook (1971 I think?), there is a list of homologated cars in Group 5 but this was such a short generation that was already cancelled as soon as it was introduced. I'm not sure if there is demand for it.

Also, I say get rid of Racing Series that included FIA Group 5 cars also because most other article about racing classes don't have them except super touring.

The purpose of removal is that the first three of those have 1 or 2 championships. As for 4th gen, 2 of those are the same; IMSA never complied with FIA regulations, neither did SS in many cases. One of those is for obsolete Gr. 5 cars. It is basically rather nonsensical to have some of those in the list. Is there a reliable source to prove this, certainly for WCM.
