Who has never dreamed of a race car modified for use on the road? The ultimate sports car! Jochen Dauer, who successfully raced Porsche 962 cars at Le Mans, presented a road version of them in 1993. But what promises to be the most fantastic sports car hides a ploy. The 1994 Le Mans 24 Hours regulations require that only cars derived from road models be used. So, from there to modifying a racing car on the road with the complicity of Porsche and then putting it back on the track, it was only one step. And a victory at the end of the day, for not too much money!
