Summary

[edit]
Description

1983 Porsche 956 in the paddocks of the CRAA 2014 Classic Race in Aarhus, Denmark.

Driver for this event was Søren Dybholm, participating in the show-class "Le Mans & Prototypes"

There were two Porsche 956 entered for CRAA 2014. Unfortunately they both stayed in the paddocks for most of the show races, which was a huge disappointment for many fans. To make matters even worse, they were mostly - unlike the majority of other cars - hidden behind rolled down "curtains", like on this photo, where you could only get a "sneak peak" from the side. The lack of participation from these two cars (the other one is hiding in the background here), was perhaps the biggest letdown of the whole event.

Originally driven by John Fitzpatrick and Derek Warwick for the John Fitzpatrick Racing team in the 1983 World Endurance Championship season (C1 class). The team was the first privateers to enter Porsche 956s and their tweaks worked so well that they managed to beat the factory entries at the Grand Prix International 1000 km at Brands Hatch and take the overall win. They also raced at Le Mans, this time Fitzpatrick partnered with David Hobbs and Dieter Quester in the number 11, but retired after 135 laps, so teamowner Fitzpatrick switched to the sister car, number 16 and secured an overall 5th place.
