A Dauer 962 ran some races in belcar ('99?). I seem to remember it taking a pole with a bent engine and broken turbo... I never liked the Dauer much, but I loved it's fire-breathing sound. I think it was the only group C-ish car that I ever saw in action.

Are you sure it's a Dauer 962? I got some pics from a Belgian photographer and it look just like a standard short tail 962...is it the one painted white with light blue stripes and Siemens sponsorship?

Spiteful · 28 Jul 2005, 15:24 (Ref:1365693)

No not sure. You seem to be right on the livery. I still think it had something to do with Dauer... Can you show us some pics?

Spiteful · 28 Jul 2005, 16:30 (Ref:1365732)

Most entry lists/results on the net list it as AD Sport Dauer 962 LM.
Can't find any pics.

The Badger · 29 Jul 2005, 06:59 (Ref:1366317)

Dauer did run standard 962C's too . Maybe its one of those ? I dont ever remember a 962GT racing any other place but Le Mans .

1999 Belcar (Dauer Porsche 962 LM - AD Sport)

Thats all I can find about this topic . I believe its a misprint ! Its on Bert Longin's portfolio in the FiaGt drivers portfolio's !

fausto · 29 Jul 2005, 07:12 (Ref:1366327)

Found the pics, confirm it's a standard 962, with a scoop a la IMSA 962(monoturbo), I'll put one pic online this evening, it's not mine, so I'll credit it to the author, hoping not to upset him....

The Badger · 29 Jul 2005, 09:03 (Ref:1366393)

It must be an Imsa car then , cuz no 962C had them . Maybe it was historic racing ?

fausto · 29 Jul 2005, 09:17 (Ref:1366405)

NO, it wasn't historic racing, I remember the reports from Autosport about that, and also some infos the photographer gave to me, and I think it wasn't an IMSA car, other parts were surely Group C, only that scoop can be read as IMSA....

I know Dauer ran two cars at Daytona in 1991. Wish my scanner worked as I'd post the images. Though both were 962Cs (two turbo scoops). One black (#00) and one white (#0). The black car was for the Andretti family (Michael, Mario, Marino, Jeff), the white, the Unsers ((Al Jr., Al Sr., Bobby, Robby).

cybersdorf · 29 Jul 2005, 11:39 (Ref:1366500)

That was John Andretti in the #00 car. (Marino is from another famous Italian clan.

)

the bodywork is similar to the one used by Schuppan in 1991 (for the car raced at Silverstone and Le Mans, not the Max Boxstrom one):

There's an interesting piece on Mulsanne's site about a Ryan Falconer V12-engined 962...

Ugh, right you are. It was that early morning haze...

The Badger · 30 Jul 2005, 09:21 (Ref:1367129)

Your right , it does look like an imsa car . I wonder what chassis number that car is . Those snorkel looking ducts on the Dauer and Joest cars are brake cooling ducts , i think !

not so sure, I think they'd reach turbochargers...

Many thanks for the pictures fausto

Was Bert Longin one of the drivers of the Belcar 962? Given the Siemens sponsorship and what I can make out from the names in the picture, it seems possible.

The Badger · 2 Aug 2005, 07:41 (Ref:1369873)

Ive started putting together a list of chassis numbers and build dates and victories . one thing ive just noticed is that some of the chassis were not built in sequence ! It might take awhile to get this list together but when i get it finished i will put it on the thread .

Cool!

I have some kind of list with chassis numbers that appeared in Belgian Autokrant *several* years ago.
For some chassis numbers it seems almost complete, for others there's hardly any data.

IIRC - there's a year and month for the construction date for most of them too...

The car was driven by Albert Vanierschot and Bert Longin
