The first event on our agenda is the Mugello Classic scheduled for the first weekend of April. To get you in the mood, we have taken a closer look at this Porsche 962C, which was raced during last year's edition. Originally a works car, it was raced in period by Joest Racing at select events. Acquired directly from Reinhold Joest by the current owner, it is in ultimate, high-downforce configuration. Particularly in the hands of Ralf Kelleners, 962-013 proved blisteringly quick during the 2023 season and will be back in action at Mugello.
A week later, we will be at Goodwood for the annual Members' Meeting. At last year's edition, there was an impressive demonstration of Porsche 911-based competition cars. Among them was this 911 Carrera RSR 3.0. Originally owned by Jean Blaton or 'Beurlys', it was raced at Le Mans four times, finishing second in class and winning its category at the fourth attempt. Chassis 911 460 9072 has survived in remarkably original condition and was raced in historic events before its recent restoration.
Already in the Nissan line-up for 15 years, the GT-R has been gradually improved. The latest incarnation will include this striking T-spec Takumi. It is a cosmetic package only but the latest 565 bhp version of the potent package is still very impressive after 15 years.
