Porsche 964 Carrera RSR 3.8 Tribute

The car was managed by Bliss Autosport from 2012 to 2015 and was raced exclusively by race car driver Mate Eresim.

Racing History

Known by its nickname at the time , “Schlumpfmobil,” the 964 RSR competed in the European Porsche Club Historic Challenge (PCHC) racing series.

The 2014 season marked the highlight of its racing career to date: The car claimed the PCHC overall championship and won 11 of 14 races.

Its racing history is documented by relevant articles and promotional materials.

Full Restoration 2023–2026

In 2023, the complete restoration and rebuild of the vehicle began. The project was completed in 2026 and carried out with the consistent goal of elevating the former race car to a new level, both technically and visually.

The work was carried out by selected specialists in the fields of bodywork, paint, and motorsport technology, including:

• Chris Brigovic – Bodywork & Paint
• PEMAC – Engineering
• Bliss Autosport – Motorsport Engineering
• Götz Motorsport – Motorsports Technology

Over 1,000 work hours were spent on bodywork alone. In addition to a complete overhaul, numerous details were optimized, including the body shape, rain gutters, and gap dimensions.

As part of the restoration, a new identity was deliberately created. The original Riviera Blue paint was replaced with “Racing Gray” —a custom blend of the original 997 Sport Classic Gray and the 991 GT3 Chalk Gray.

The new color scheme combines the car’s historic motorsport DNA with a distinctive, modern look.
