Group C/GTP Sports Cars

This is a photograph of the leaders rounding Redgate Corner at the start of the Group C/GTP Sports Car Race during the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.

Leading is Justin Law in his 7 litre V12 1990 Jaguar XJR-12 and alongside him is the 3 litre flat-six twin turbo Porsche 962C 0f Mark Sumpter. Behind the Jaguar is the 7.2 litre V8 1991 Intrepid RM-1 of Brian Devries and further back the dark blue car is the 3.5 litre V8 1990 Nissan R90C of Nick Randall. At the rear is the V8 1990 Spice SE90 Chevrolet of Fredy Kumschick and behind the Porsche is another car, but I can't make out what it is.

Porsche 962

On 18 November 2015 I showed photographs of a Porsche 962C that took part in a race for GroupC/GTP Sports Cars at the VSCC's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007. Five Porsche 962s are listed in the programme of the event for this race, and the car shown below was also present, but is not shown in the programme.

It appears to be an ex-Team Schuppan car, and the 'Paragon' on the rear wing suggests it might have something to do with Mark Sumpter who drove the Porsche 962C shown in my earlier post.

Porsche 962C

On 19 May 2015 I showed a photograph of a Porsche 962C taking part in a race for Group C/GTP Sports Cars at the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2005. Here's another photograph of one of these cars, this time at the Donington Park SeeRed meeting of September 2007.

This time it's the Porsche 962C which was due to be driven in the Group C/GTP Sports Car race by Mark Sumpter and Mike Jordan.

Here's the car during the morning practice/qualifying session at McLean's Corner

Here it is during the race at Redgate corner leading the Chevrolet Intrepid RM-1 GTP car of Brian Devries and the Nissan R90CK of Nick Randall.
