The cover story is about the Kremer-Porsche 936-005, which won this year's Le Mans Classic 2016 and was driven by Rolf Stommelen in the 1982 German Racing Championship. The article first delves into the technology and development of the racing car, and the contract details between Porsche and Kremer are also interesting, including the fact that chassis 002 was given to Kremer as a loan and exhibition vehicle. Historical photos and extensive technical details round off the article.
The Porsche 936-005 is shown again briefly in a separate article on Le Mans Classic 2016.
Diva GT 1300
The second vehicle report is about the rarely seen Diva GT 1300. The former vehicle of Jackie Oliver with chassis number C30 is shown. You can read about interesting details such as the fact that the first vehicle built was given chassis number C27, making the C30 the fourth vehicle built. Jackie Oliver bought this car from Tunex Conversions in 1964 to take part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The report shows many photos, from historical photos to the restoration and today's photos. This car was restored over four years and returned to the Nürburgring on June 28, 2016, the place where John Miles and Peter Jackson celebrated their success with this car at the 1000km Nürburgring race.
