Having visited Peter Auto events for many years, we are still amazed at the number of 'new' cars that show up at every event. Among those at the recent Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or was one of just a handful of genuine 924 Carrera GTRs built by Porsche ahead of the 1981 season. Based on the road going 924 Carrera GTS, the GTR featured a turbocharged version of the 924's four-cylinder engine, which produced an impressive 375 bhp. The factory entered car won the IMSA GTO class. The featured example was not actually raced in period but sold directly to the Matsuda Collection in Japan. The Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or may very well have been the first time the car turned a wheel in anger.
From the second half of the 1980s, Spices were regulars on the Group C and IMSA GTP grids. Most successful in the junior categories, Spice customer also raced against the works teams. The ultimate and very last of the top level GTP Spices is this SE92P Chevrolet. Compared to the earlier cars, it featured a narrower cockpit and much larger, twin-tier rear wing. Although run by a privateer effort, it proved both fast and reliable, placing third four times during the 1992 and 1993 season. Recently re-painted to its original livery, the unique Spice SE92P made its competition debut with its new owner at Dijon.
