		The Porsche 956 was a race car built by Porsche which designed it in 1982 for FIA Group C racing.
		As they had already won in 1981 with a Porsche 936 that had used an early version of the 956 engine, their car had start number 1.
		After a post-'87 "dry spell", Porsche customer Jochen Dauer got the 962 re-classified as a road legal GT1 car under a loophole in the new ACO regulations for the 1994 24 Hours of Le Mans.

	.: HISTORY - PORSCHE 962 - Amalfi Racing :.
		After considerable success with the 956, Porsche decided they wanted to use the platform for an IMSA/GTP class car, but IMSA regulations changed in 1984, now dictating that every vehicle entered into the series had to have its pedal box mounted behind the front axle line, which the 956 did not.
		Porsche dubbed the revised vehicle the 962 and debuted a total of five units at the Daytona 24 Hours with Mario and Michael Andretti driving the factory car and the other four being driven by members of the privateer teams which had purchased them.
		Porsche went back to a twin-turbocharged 3.2 L engine for 1985, re-naming the car 962C and entering it in the World Endurance Championship, but the car ironically lost to an older 956, which had already taken WEC top-honors four times.

		Thereafter, production of the 956 ceased so that Weissach could start concentrating on the 962, which differed from the earlier car, mainly in as much that it was built longer at the front* – to meet the IMSA requirement that the driver’s pedalbox should lie behind the axis of the front wheels.
		Jaguar won its first Le Mans that year (arguably because Porsche refused to release 1.7 to the private teams until after the race), but it did at least keep the 962 in with a fighting chance – long after its ‘sell-by’ date.
		Just like the very first 962 built, this particular car was first of all driven in anger by Mario and Michael Andretti at the Daytona 24 Hours, this time in 1989.

		The Porsche 956 and slightly altered 962 were some of the greatest racecars of all time.

	Mark Williams 962 Conversion - Page 1
		Therefore, my end game with this modelling project was to be a fully detailed Porsche 962, representing the second place Shell-sponsored car driven by Bell/Ludwig/Stuck in the 1988 Le Mans race.
		I had seen the Hasegawa 962 Group C kit a few years ago in a shop, with the Shell scheme, but it was before I had returned to modelling and, consequently, I did not purchase it then, so the major stumbling block to a proper conversion appeared to be a complete lack of decals.
		This was, as is often the case, before Studio 27 released their transkit and Tamiya re-released their 962C kit with the Shell markings, but I still carried on with the conversion, because I had started (!) and I wanted to keep costs down.

		He also added a Can-Am championship title in 1983 along with an IMSA GTP title in a Porsche powered March 83G when Porsche were unable to make their 956 eligible for competition that year.
		In 1988, Holbert realised that the Porsche 962 that had brought him success in his earlier years was becoming outmoded by the newer generation of racers from the likes of the Jaguar XJR-9 and the Electramotive's Nissan GTP racer, planned to build an open top Porsche engined racer for customer teams.
