Porsche 956 & 962 Owners Manual

The Porsche 956 is the iconic `Group C’ sports-racing car that dominated sports-car racing throughout the 1980s. In its debut season, the 956 won the 1982 Le Mans 24-hours race in the hands of Derek Bell and Jacky Ickx, 956s completing a clean sweep of the podium.

The car went on to win Le Mans for four consecutive years, before it was superceded by the Porsche 962 – visually similar to the 956, thought featuring a longer wheelbase and other detailed differences. The 962 won Le Mans in 1986 and, and a heavily modified example won again in 1994. With the 956 and 962, Porsche won five consecutive 1987 World Endurance Championship titles.
