Twice in a row, in 1980 and 1981 , Lancia had won the Manufacturers ' World Championship with the Group 5 version of the Beta Montecarlo . However, the introduction of Group C in 1982 made the Group 5 racing cars obsolete. The aim of the FIA was to replace both the production racing cars of Group 5 (with roof) and the open sports car prototypes of Group 6 with Group C Consumption formula designed: The FIA stipulated a minimum vehicle weight of 800 kilograms and a maximum tank capacity of 100 liters. The cubic capacity as well as the use of or the waiver of engine charging were optional. Five refueling stops were allowed during a 1000-kilometer race, which was the minimum distance in the Sports Car World Championship at the time. The fuel consumption of the engines was effectively limited to 60 liters per 100 kilometers. This restriction did not apply to the IMSA GTP series, whose races were played outside the jurisdiction of the FIA.
While Lancia chose the open Spider-shaped design for the LC1 , the Porsche 956 , which made its debut in the 6-hour race at Silverstone , was a closed prototype. Since the LC1 complied with the old Group 6 regulations, the car was eligible to compete in the world championship races, but the points achieved in the races were not included in the overall ranking of the brands. This distorted the final result of the Manufacturers' World Championship, as the three Lancia racing victories were not counted and Porsche became world champion ahead of Jean Rondeau's team .
In the drivers' standings, where points were awarded in all eight races (there were only five for the brands), the points that the Lancia drivers achieved in the respective races counted towards the overall standings. Here the decision was made at the last race at Brands Hatch , where Jacky Ickx won the title of driver world champion with a win.
