Released Group C | Porsche 962 Team Joest & Nissan R90CK

The last remaining car of our Porsche DLC #2 needs no introduction.




The Porsche 962 C Team Joest

It is one of the most recognizable sportscars ever built.

It appeared at the start of 1984, replacing the 956 in order to comply with IMSA's GTP regulations.



It would later also compete in the European Group C series.



This specific 962 was developed by Joest Racing, who nicknamed it the "Doppelflügel", "Double-wing", in reference to its new rearwing, and is equipped with a 5-speed gearbox, a 750 HP twin-turbo charged engine at an approximate weight of 950 kg, producing top speeds close to 350 km/h.




Joining the Porsche is the



Nissan R90CK

The legendary Nissan R90CK is a Group C race car built for competition in the World Sportscar Championship (WSC) in 1990 and the North American IMSA GT Championship later on.



This wickedly-fast prototype is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 770 HP, which in low-downforce configuration and a weight of 950 Kg can lead to top-speeds upwards of 350 km/h. The R90CK was developed from the R89C. The "K" letter that was added stands for "Kaizen", which is japanese for "Improved".




Group C cars are widely considered the most spectacular sportscars ever built in motorsport history.



Built for endurance racing, these legendary cars fought many battles from the early 1980s to the 1990s.



Back then sportscar racing was at its very top of popularity worldwide with racing series running in Europe, America and Asia.



The Group C cars will become available with the next update!​

 

God damn it! I need to change my pants now.... Thanks Raceroom!

 

I need a "j*zzed in my pants" reaction button for this

 

Where are the 962 lights? Are they all under covers??

 

Speechless...

 

Hubbahubbahubba, you hot sexy momma!

Last two wishes to get R3E in the epic zone: Mazda 787B (and more group C cars always welcome) and Circuit de la Sarthe.

But only this announcement on its own makes my day!

 

Wow, that's awesome

And again i have good memories with this(similar) car. Back in 1999 i was part of AD Sport, a Belgian race team and we had a Dauer Porsche 962 LM and we raced in the Belcar at the Spa Ferrari Days. Drivers were Bert Longin and Albert Vanierschot and we won the race.

 

Fifth post and already a wishlist...standard procedure ...... I want the Sauber in that case then....

 

Nice!

 

That's what I was hoping for. Thank you.

 

Oh i completely forgot about that Nissan R90CK. It was already teased in 2015. Seems like it had a loooong way to go.

 

We all knew it was coming ... Still exciting!

 

This is great

 

i had to change my underwear

 

By the look of it, both are right hand drives

 

It's because of the car specification used. It didn't need headlights, so they are covered.

 

Can't wait to get my hands on those beautys... GroupC was such a great era in Sportscar-Racing... I really hope for an expanding class here...

 

That is typical on Prototyps, as on most racetracks the Pits are on the right side. So after leaving the car during a driver-change, the way into the pit is shorter.
The ammount of persons working at the car during pitstop is limited, so it is an advantage in driver-change that the previous driver can leave that area quickly...
