1989 Porsche 962C

I took this photograph in the paddock at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 2000, but the car was not involved in any of the races at that meeting.

It a 1989 Porsche 962C, chassis 962-150, that was campaigned in the 1989 and 1990 seasons by Brunn Motorsport without any great success, and bears the number 16 that it had in the Shell BRDC Empire Trophy race at Silverstone in May 1990. It was driven by Walter Brun and Jesus Pareja in that race where it finished in seventh place. Porsche produced 91 examples of the 962 for World Sportscar Championship and IMSA GTP racing, the World Sportscar Championship cars being marked by the 'C' suffix and powered by the Porsche Flat-6 twin turbocharged 2,869cc engine.

This was one of the competitors in the Group C/GTP Sports Car race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2007.

It's Andy Purdie's 1988 Porsche 962C GTi, a car formerly campaigned by the Richard Lloyd Racing team. Porsche produced 91 examples of the 962 for World Sportscar Championship and IMSA GTP racing, the World Sportscar Championship cars being marked by the 'C' suffix and powered by the Porsche Flat-6 twin turbocharged 2,869cc engine.

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.

It's the Porsche 962C GTi with the Nigel Stroud monocoque campaigned by Richard Lloyd Racing in the 1990 season in the livery of their Japanese sponsors, Italiya.

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.

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.
