Driven by Joël Gouhier, Jürgen Barth, and Dominique Dupuy, this Larbre Competition #47 Porsche 964 RSR finished 1st in class and 15th overall at the 1993 24 Hours of Le Mans. After half a decade of being tucked away in storage, BBi Autosport is excited to take on the mechanical refresh project of this historic race car and bring her back to the track again where she belongs.

is that plenum specific to the 964 RSR?

That car is my screen saver. Sure it isn't for sale?

Getting it ready for Rennsport Reunion?

Vandit

any idea what is the part number of those Cibie style fender mounted lamps?

Betim, the blue 997 Cup looks familiar.

I didn't know you were a board sponsor. Thanks for your help before NASA Nationals this year. I don't know if you heard, but we won!

creaturecat

nice.

Not doubting provenance. Don't believe it would have had side repeaters in wing / fender when it left the Motorsport department. Interested to know why it has them now if anyone can shed some light on it.

Thanks.

Period photos of the car at Le Mans shows the repeaters were removed, but the reliefs/insets were in the fenders. BBI's pic above also shows the holes in the doors for the nighttime number lamps.

Correct on the side markers and somewhat on the nighttime lamps on the doors. The current doors are not the configuration from Le Mans but rather the one from Spa. The livery is also slightly off but expected since it changed throughout its racing history. Would love to see it back on BBSs.

Just to make sure we are talking about the same, i'm referring to the repeater on the wing, underneath "D.Dupuy" and the other driver names in the photo. RSR front wings did not have these when they left the factory. It is the only 964 variant like this.

It is a race car so it could well have had front wings replaced and they were replaced with Turbo wings. Some of the RSR's that ran in ADAC had wider front wings as they were allowed to run wider front wheels. Perhaps these are ADAC wings?

It is a lovely car and will be great to see it running at RSR V. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Ken D

That is what we are discussing, yes. Here's a photo of the car at Le Mans. You can see the boss/relief in the wing where the repeater would fit.

Thank you everyone for chiming in on this forum thread! Just to confirm, we are preparing this car for Rennsport.

Here are some updates on this project. After being in storage for many years, the fuel system required servicing as the safety foam baffling have complete deteriorated as shown below:

I don't know the part number but there is quite good looking repro Cibie available. For example:

jimmyriviera

Well that is interesting! Thanks for posting that. Never seen that before and my RSR doesn't look like that.

I believe the ADAC cars had wider front wings / fenders to allow them to run wider front rims as allowed within the series but that would have been after this car was built and run I think.

Thanks again.
