Porschephiles... was the 928 ever raced officially?
As the title asks, was the 928 ever campaigned officialy as a Porsche supported race car? Like the various Club, Club Sport and Cup versions of the 911 and 944/968?
I know there were a couple of 928 version, 928S, 928GT etc - but they never seemed that hard-core. |

the 928 had some racing potential; and even a 928 based motor nearly made it into the 962C as a twin turbo/single mild turbo application persued by the Kremer team; but there wasn't the budget appropriations for such development at Weissach at the time to further the case for a new engine/car. that engine never even saw a track in that form; and only 911's, 914's, and 924/944's were campaigned by PAG. hopefully somebody can add something to my knowledge there; but i have not an ounce of literature about a 928 racing program in either privateer, or factory backed teams. |
Just googled it - check out the site

I have seen privateer 928's running in the SpeedVision GT series (GT and GT2 classI think) - but then again you see almost any privateer entrants in that series.
I also found a bit about a privateer 928 in le mans in 1983. |
i see the Joest New Man car!
the following year, they reworked Bosh Motronic in the car and ran 2 laps further on the same fuel load at Le Mans... 84... that was Bell's attempt at a 3-peat Le Mans victory... but was 26 seconds off 1rst, and at the time set a lap record with nearly no brakes! |
I'm gonna say no :wink:

nope, as far as i know there was never an official racing program, and i think its safe to say i know quite alot about 928's...

Porsche did build a 928 to set a speed record in its class. That car later became Mark Kibort's SWC car.
|
wasnt that a standard production 928 S4?
