A staple of the Peter Auto weekends is the Historic Group C Championship. Having been run for over two decades, it is amazing that every year 'new' cars return to track that have not been seen for many years. One of the stars of the 2023 season was without a doubt the Repsol liveried Brun C91 Judd. Developed by the Swiss Brun Motorsport team in 1991 to replace the ageing and nearly obsolete 962Cs, it was originally due to have been powered by a V12 engine. Using a Judd V8 instead the unique C91 proved woefully unreliable in period. The bugs have been ironed out as Alex Müller took two outright wins during the Dix Mille Tours with the striking Brun.
Like Brun Motorsport, Team Schuppan developed a bespoke carbon-fibre composite chassis for their 962Cs. These were later also used for the legendary Schuppan road cars. One of just two of Schuppan race car surviving is this 962 TS, which competed at the Le Mans Classic and Dix Mille Tours this year. Chassis 03C was the third car built and featured a custom body in period. As this aero-package did not work, the car was never actually raced in this configuration. It is now fitted with a more conventional 'sprint' body.
Also never actually used when it was new, is this factory-built 962C. It was acquired by the Nova Engineering team ahead of the 1991 season. As the Japanese team also had a pair of newer and faster Nissan R91CPs available, it served as a spare car that year. Following a lengthy spell in American and then Dutch hands, 962-171 is now in the ownership of a Belgian historic racer.
