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.
