When the FIA announced a return to pure, purpose-built prototypes in endurance racing\u2014with the introduction of the Group C category for the 1982 season\u2014Porsche knew it needed to design a totally new racecar to succeed the Le Mans\u2013winning 936. However, not since the revolutionary 917 of the early \u201970s had Porsche designed a \u201cclean sheet of paper\u201d prototype racer. The result of this new design challenge was the 956, and later 962, models, which would virtually dominate long-distance endurance racing for the next decade with outright wins at Le Mans from 1982\u20131987 and again in 1994.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This month\u2019s featured Web site is devoted to the history of not only the 956\/962, but also its predecessors, the 935 and the venerable 917. Some of the features of this site include detailed histories of each model by respected author Bill Oursler, a separate chassis registry for each model that includes photos and available chassis details, as well as a listing of cars for sale, a collection of memorabilia and related links. While this site provides a wealth of great information, it was disappointing that many of the hi-res photo links were broken. However, even with this problem, there is plenty here to keep the Porsche enthusiast happy.<\/p>\n
