1988 | Porsche 962

Built in 1988 for the Trust Racing Team in Japan for the All-Japan Sports Prototype Championship (JSPC), using the ultra-stiff and ultra-fast Richard Lloyd Racing (RLR) tub, as penned by Nigel Stroud. With RLR's engineering genius, and development in Japan, the car would tackle both JSPC and the Japanese rounds of the World Sports Car Championship, taking on the best the world had to offer in Group C racing.

Drivers George Fouché, Steven Andskar, Sarel van der Merwe, Syunji Kasuya, Paolo Barilla and Eje Elgh would see great success with the car from 1988 to 1991, including multiple podiums - helping Porsche to the manufacturer's titles in 1988 and '89. During those 4 years of competing in the JSPC, the Nisseki Trust Porsche 962 would go onto become one of the iconic 'poster cars' of the series.

Following its retirement in 1992, the car would go into a private Japanese collection. Today the car has the potential of being an overall winner in historic Group C all over Europe, and of course the incredible Le Mans Classic.
