Published here for the first time are dozens of unique photos of wind tunnel tests and specially commissioned artwork showing versions of the 962 that never went beyond the drawing board.\n\u25cf   Volume 1 moves on to cover the 1984\u201388 period (the works years): race-by-race chapters explain in exhaustive detail the activities of the Porsches works team, starting with the one-off IMSA race in 1984 that gave the 962 its baptism of fire. \n\u25cf   The 1985\u201387 world championship campaigns with the famous Rothmans Porsches brought victory at Le Mans in 1986 and 1987 and championship titles for Derek Bell and Hans-Joachim Stuck in 1985 and 1986. Every event is covered in great detail, including all the technical developments that were tried and tested between races, the strategies used, the successes savoured, the odd defeat explained.\n\u25cf   A rather super cup: for the first time since the German national sportscar championship was created back in 1972, Porsche entered a works team in the 1986 ADAC Supercup. Hans-Joachim Stuck\u2019s special lightweight 962C with its trick PDK transmission initially dominated the series but later met with fierce competition from the many privateer Porsche teams and also the works Mercedes team. Every race of the four-year existence of the Supercup is covered, including how in 1987 the creation of Porsche\u2019s iconic asymmetric Shell\/Dunlop livery came about.\n\u25cf   Volume 2 examines the \u2018Joest\u2019 years (1989\u201394): following the works Rothmans Porsche team\u2019s unexpected withdrawal from the World Sports-Prototype Championship after yet another Le Mans win in 1987, the world of sportscar racing was at a loss. The works team made a one-off comeback to Le Mans in 1988 and almost won, then gave an ultimate encore performance at Fuji at the end of that same year before closing its doors seemingly for good to concentrate on IndyCar and F1. But a little back door was kept open and earlier developments of what should have been the 962\/88 were passed on to Reinhold Joest, the most successful privateer Porsche team owner. Joest promptly beat the Mercedes at Dijon in 1989 \u2013 scoring the 956\/962\u2019s 39th and final world championship victory \u2013 and was in the running for the title for most of the year, prompting Porsche to relaunch its Group C programme the following season.\n\u25cf   The second volume covers all activities with the works and works-supported 962Cs, in the ADAC Supercup of 1989 as well as in the WS-PC, where Joest became the de facto works team in 1990. With the demise of the \u2018fuel formula\u2019 at the end of 1990, Joest took his works cars to the IMSA and Interserie championships, again with much success.\n\u25cf   Le Mans 1994 marked the final appearance of a works 962, as a road-homologated GT car. Once again technical director Norbert Singer showed that he could read the technical regulations better than those who had written them, instigating the peculiar ploy of converting the 962C to a road car and back to a race car, and promptly won Le Mans again.\n\u25cf   Volume 3 covers the cars and the people. All 19 works chassis (16 Porsche 962s and three Dauer 962 LM GTs) are outlined in exhaustive technical detail, recording every test and every race with all available data, from gear ratios and fuel consumption figures to strategies and pitstop times. All this information has been gathered by the author from sifting through thousands of pages of period documents in Porsche\u2019s Stuttgart archives and conducting dozens of interviews with people significant to the 962 story. Also included is the ownership history of each of the cars after completion of their race careers, with photos of where they are now.\n\u25cf   Artwork: exclusively commissioned artwork depicts every single chassis as it ran, as well as the aerodynamic evolution of the 962 throughout the years and some of the peculiar wind tunnel test models that never saw the light of day.\n\u25cf   Restoration: the ground-up restoration of three of the works 962Cs is covered in detail through many pages of step-by-step photos.\n\u25cf   Exclusive photography: eight of the cars are the subject of eye-catching multi-page photoshoots by some of the world\u2019s finest automotive photographers.\n\u25cf   The people: detailed biographies of the two key engineers behind the 962 and all those who raced the works cars: Peter Falk, Norbert Singer, Jacky Ickx, Derek Bell, Jochen Mass, Vern Schuppan, Al Holbert, Hurley Haywood, Hans-Joachim Stuck, John Watson, Bob Wollek, Henri Pescarolo, Drake Olson, Kees Nierop, Price Cobb, Klaus Ludwig, Mario Andretti, Michael Andretti, John Andretti, Sarel van der Merwe, Yannick Dalmas, Thierry Boutsen, Mauro Baldi and Danny Sullivan.<\/pre>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-810x810.jpg 810w, https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-1140x1140.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autobookmobile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/09\/Ultimate-Works-Porsche-962-The-Definitive-History-by-Serge-Vanbockryck-3-Volumes-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Ultimate Works Porsche 962 &#8211; The Definitive History by Serge Vanbockryck (3 Volumes)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.advgbbtn-edbd131d-093e-40bc-8ffb-c5006668bda1{font-size:18px;color:#ffffff !important;background-color:#cf4d35 !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:1px !important;border-style:none;border-radius:50px !important;}.advgbbtn-edbd131d-093e-40bc-8ffb-c5006668bda1:hover{box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-edbd131d-093e-40bc-8ffb-c5006668bda1 > i {display: none !important;}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Porsche 962, created in 1984, was the successor to the all-conquering Group C-specification Porsche 956 of 1982, but also very much the result of Porsche adapting its successful Group C car to the needs and regulations of the US-based IMSA GTP Championship.&nbsp; The 1985\u201387 world championship campaigns with the famous Rothmans Porsches brought victory [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":16747,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":820,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[52,60],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
