Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

That's the Schuster Porsche 936 CJ of 1986. The car was based on the 962.
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Wasn't this the ex Joest 936C or J (depending on which year and magazine you read) which was running a superb 4th in 1982 until the last hour when the engine blew? He used to run a 908 based 936 lookalike, without referring to the library, was it a further development of that?

Forgot to add that hgb is right, it is the Schuster car from 1986, I was just adding a little more history with the other bits!

Well done, it was 86 when the car finnished a well earned 6th place.
The car also raced at least twice before in Joest colours once driven by the Martin bros (83, 15th) and once by Wolleck (82,DNF)
The car, some belive started as a 908, became a 936-80 then the 936CJ
