The Porsche 962 is a sport-prototype racing car created to replace the already successful Porsche 956, in order to allow it to race the IMSA and WSC Group C competitions. It was one of the most successful racing cars ever and it won several competitions all over the world: World Sport Prototype Championship in 1985 and 1986, 24h Le Mans (1986, 1987, 1994), IMSA GTP Championship (1985, 1986, 1987, 1988), 24h Daytona (1985, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1991), 12h Sebring (1985, 1986, 1987, 1988). The IMSA GTP regulations required some modifications in comparison with Porsches designed for the Group C. Front axle was shifted 12 centimetres ahead, so that driver’s feet could stay behind the hubs of the wheels. The boxer 6 cylinders engine had a displacement of 3.2 litres, was air cooled, with only one turbo, 2 valves per cylinder and one single overhead camshaft. This car raced at Le Mans in 1990 in the blue and white livery of sponsor Mizuno. The car was driven by Louis Krages, Stanley Dickens, Bob Wollek.
