Taking the win for best in show was a Schuppan 962CR P1. Inspired by Group C endurance racing, the Schuppan 962CR project was based on a Porsche 956/962. The idea was to use a Reynard carbon fibre chassis and bodywork styled by Mike Simcoe. In the end, just six cars were produced, with this one being the prototype and development car. This example was modeled on an entrant in the 1990 Le Mans race and spent some time under French ownership before returning to the UK where it’s been fully refurbished and retrimmed.
