The last race of the JSPC season in 1992 (and thus the last JSPC race ever) took place at the Mine Circuit , for which Nismo reported the only existing NP35. He had to compete in his class against the Toyota TS010 and the Mazda MXR-01 and was the slowest car in qualifying with 5 seconds behind the Nissan R92CP,"
I didn't expect it to be THAT bad
5 seconds slower

Only the V8's and V10's can prosper. 12 cylinders, not so much. Just look at the C291's results compared to the C9's and C11's
blazing drift
Well that's why I'm sad the C292 didn't get to run
They really stepped up the dev on the car in comparison to the previous and the engine was one of those areas
*extensive development by the Sauber engineers resulted in all of the C291's faults being rectified. In addition, intensive test-bench engine development saw the power increase to 690bhp at 'only' 12,600rpm, allowing for further development going forward with higher revolutions available*

Why did motor manufacturers subject their vehicles to such a tortuous test as the Marathon de la Route? The answer for Porsche, was probably the same as for all manufacturers who participated, as Günter Steckkönig explains, “Mr Bott, the Chief Engineer in Development at this time, said that we should always take our new systems or new development work to the Marathon de la Route as a test. He told us that it was always much cheaper to do this race than go to the ‘Ring for testing [privately].
They really do anything for testing

But i can see why, it saves a lot of cash

The Kiss of Death. It depicts the moment in which Mexican film actor Linda Christian kisses Spanish driver Alfonso de Portago at a brief stop during the 1957 Mille Miglia race. Few moments after this photo. Alfonso de Portago crashed while taking a curve at 240km/h in Guidizzolo, Cavriana. Killing himself and 9 spectators (which 5 of them were children). Over the years, it has become one of the most renowned photographs of kisses and a symbol of young audacity and passion. The magazine Life gave fame to the photograph after it published it in its May 1957 issue, under the title "Death finally takes a man who courted it".

Kevin Harvick's first career win at Atlanta in 2001, having taken over Dale Earnhardt's ride after he passed away in the Daytona 500. Harvick is running a throwback scheme, in the 29, at his final All-Star race this year at North Wilkesboro, a track Earnhardt won at five times.

So! A Volkswagen Beetle outbraking and overtaking a Lola T70. Not, you are thinking, within the usual process boundaries that provide us with our properly ordered universe.
But the information that the driver is Emerson Fittipaldi should arouse one’s suspicions that this may not be, yer regular kind of Beetle.
And your suspicions would not have been wasted. For what we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is the legendary Fitti-Fusca!
Built in 1969, and based on a purpose built racing chassis designed by future Fittipaldi Formula 1 designer Richard Divila, it was powered by a unique, 8-cylinder, 400bhp engine, developed from a pair of coupled Volkswagen Flat-4s. Driven through a Porsche RSK gearbox, and covered with a lightweight replica Fusca bodywork (Fusca is the Brazilian nickname for a VW Beetle), all it needed for guaranteed success was a coat of orange paint.
So they painted it orange.
Sports car racing was Brazil’s principle domestic racing series at the time, and the smart players usually lashed-out on Lolas, Alfa Romeos, Ford GT40s and the like. But Richard and the Fittipaldi brothers liked to do things their own way. And their effort was always going to be appreciated, even if only for the lasting pleasure to be had from photos exactly like this!
