1986 Porsche 962 IMSA GTP
Born from Porsche’s relentless pursuit of endurance racing dominance, this 1986 Porsche 962 IMSA GTP chassis HR3 represents a pivotal chapter in prototype competition history. Built by FABCAR and delivered new to Hotchkis Racing at Watkins Glen in July 1986, HR3 made its debut under Wynn’s sponsorship and was tested by Al Holbert before being raced by Jim Adams and John Hotchkis Sr. Following a period repair and rebuild, the car returned to competition at the 1990 24 Hours of Daytona and went on to achieve a remarkable third place finish there in 1991. After retiring from frontline duty, it reemerged as a formidable historic racer, capturing the GTP class win at the 2009 Monterey Historics and later proving itself the fastest 962 at Porsche Rennsport IV in 2011. Most recently, it claimed first place in the FIA IMSA GTP class at the 2016 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and appeared at the 2023 Porsche Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca, continuing a legacy that spans decades.
