I recently visited the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. On the way out I stopped by the gift shop for something to take home. This 928 racecar caught my eye. It was so odd to see one of these as a racecar, and one that raced le Mans, so says the box. I wanted to know more. I bought the model and really enjoy it. I don't collect too many 1/43 models, but I love the strange and unique models that are produced at that scale.

The story behind the car is really fun. Check out this story in the link for more info. It is worth the read.

Ever wonder how fast the ultimate German GT was against the 911?

A very short racing history for this model.

Only 928 I ever saw in person in racing trim, was an IMSA safety car.

Was at one of the San Antonio IMSA races back in the day. San Antonio - List of Races - Racing Sports Cars

During practice and qualifying, the 928 was pranged, and parked.

I have old 35mm photos of the aftermath, but never transferred them to images, might need to do some digging.

I'd love to see those photos Jim. San Antonio, that track can't work anymore with the new convention center but always looked like a good street circuit.
