Joest Racing
Joest Racing won Le Mans 7 times
(1) 1984 Porsche 956 (2) 1985 Porsche 956 (3) 1996 TWR Porsche (4) 1997 TWR Porsche (5) 2000 Audi R8R (6) 2001 Audi R8R (7) 2002 Audi R8R But he also ran the winning Bentley in 2003 , and I think he was also involved in the Dauer 962GT as well . Im trying to find out if there are any other Le Mans success stories that involved Joest behind the scenes ? I hope they will be back soon . Sportscar racing just aint the same without the biggest name in the business . |

It's especially not fun watching their performance in DTM these past two seasons.

Old cars this season. ABT build the TTs on there own in the past, so they have much more knowlege about DTM cars.
Also hope they are back @real racing soon. DTM is nothing more then german Nascar  ( i am from germany)

What involvement did he have with the Dauer 962GT ? Did Joest run those too ? I have heard it said that he was spotted in the gagage .

1984 Sebring-Heyer, DeNavaez and Johannson (car came off display in a museum
)1980 Daytona 24 Hour-Merl, Stommelen and Joest himself both 935's. I don't know where to get photos, mine suffered fire and water (not at the same time), but maybe Hugewally who visits here can point to them? robert |

Joest Porsche 935
There are a few shots of the 1980 Daytona winner on the net.
1980 Daytona Winner http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...-02-03-002.jpg http://www.fredlewisphotos.com/grafi...stommelen2.JPG As for the 1984 Sebring winner wasn't able to find any but here is the same car at the 1985 Sebring. The car was #48 in 1984 and did not carry the Red Lobster sponsorship http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...-03-23-043.jpg |

I reckon i will have to forget about building the Joest Sebring winners cuz they didnt make those kits and the decals would be a real pain . But his 24 hour winners I can do !!
Thank you guys for all your help

You may want to try contacting these guys at:
http://mascalemodels.mind2k.com/index.html They have quite a few rarer models and may have access to the decals for the 1984 Sebring car. |

Why not doing some rally also beside sportscar / touring car racing ?
If you look at Oreca, it works. |

Audi certainly learnt a lot from their rallying when it came to designing the R8's modular approach to components...
